It has been quite some time since I last updated this thread, I'll try to return soon...
Anyway, in the mean time, another japanese publisher will start publishing light novels soon
Ichijinsha created a new light novel label that's titled:
Ichijinsha Bunko; some of the light novels published under this label will be for boys, and some will be for girls.
