Then, I'm quite sure the novel in the hand is Oda Nobuna no Yaboû, also illustrated by him.

Though it'd be surprising if it were to be Oda Nobuna no Yabou, since the action is like, a few centuries earlier.

So, I was at Sakura-Con in Seattle, USA today, and I attended a Q&A panel with Gen Urobuchi (writer, Madoka Magica and Fate/Zero), Atsuhiro Iwakami (producer, Madoka Magica anime, Kara no Kyoukai, other Aniplex stuff), and Katsushi Ota (editor and Vice President, Kodansha novel publishing division). A question came up about Light Novels being available in English more, and according to Ota, they'd visited an American bookstore (Barnes & Noble, to be exact), and were highly impressed by its size and selection. To the point that, apparently, they're seriously rethinking their position about publishing Light Novels in America (they were quite happy about the question coming up, and I don't think the excessive applause when they said all this hurt our chances any). Also, Urobuchi didn't really want Fate/Zero translated because Fate/Stay Night has no official translation (he wanted the original work first), but now he's open to the idea of Fate/Zero coming over as a way to try and make Fate/Stay Night available as well.

In other words, there's a realistic possibility that more Light Novels may be translated into English officially sometime in the near-ish future. o wo They seem to think there's a market after all.
