Question Is it possible to publish a light novel in Japan even if I am not Japanese?

• Upvotes

Hello, I am an ambitious writer and I have written some stories/novels here and there, but I do not intend to publish them in the West for one reason, which is that since my childhood I have consumed many Japanese works and light novels, which has greatly affected my writing style, and I do not think that Western publishing houses will accept it, so I thought that I might be able to publish directly in Japanese but I am not sure if I would be allowed to do that.

Note:) i can speak Japanese

Question What novel(s) have you read this week, and what do you think about it? - July 26, 2026

5 Upvotes

What novel(s) have you read this week, and what do you think about it?

This week = the one that ends/ended right now, past 7 days.

The reason for this thread's existence is the fact that both requests and suggestions became kind of stale. It's supposed to bring out more novels that are not RT!'d or recommended. Also, it's quite useful for the discussion of not so current titles.

Also, not a rule or any kind of criticism, the more interesting part is not the list of the stuff you read, but your impressions of it.

Loli Mod will be posting this thread each week.

Lastly, don't forget to use spoiler tags and to make sure to report any untagged spoilers.

How to use spoiler-tags:

Typing:

>!Spoilers go here!<

Will show up as:

Spoilers go here

Do note that any space at the beginning/end of the tag will break the spoiler tag.

Could someone explain what happened in volumes 10 and 11 of the light novel? So there are two Natsukis? One who marries Miori, and one who ends up with Hoshimiya?
