Got licensed by CIW

Even better out in 3 months!

maid.
👍

Jumping back onto this thread to say that this months chapter wrapped up light novel 4, which is likely where season 2 of the anime will be ending. Next months chapter should be starting light novel 5. Even more reason to want this manga translated officially!

Volume 5 is being released on 1/9/2025. It looks like Amona is sharing the cover now. Wow!

Ends in volume 6

This series was licensed on the chapter format.

I updated the Synopsis to show the Official English Version.

I don't know how this affect the licensing of the Volume version, since Forget Being the Villainess, I Want to Be an Adventurer! got licensed while having having chapter release( but it was V-Scroll Comics format)

Volume 24's cover.

Just finished a binge re-read of the old fan-translations. Sure wish this series would be licensed as it continues to be such a fun series with excellently designed game mechanics, and a world I've love to see explored more.

Unfortunately, they weren't the heroes that the king was looking for so they got booted out.

"These aren't the heroes you are looking for."

Volume 8 has been announced to be coming in February 2025.

V8 Cover

Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 (1992-1995) by Kazuhisa Kondo. A later adaptation of the original series.

Viz Communications published this in four volumes, which I also just happen to have on the bookshelf.
William Flanagan was the translator.
December 2001-April 2002 publication dates for the first printings.

I should reread all of these sometime, to justify having retained them if naught else.

Japanese Wikipedia Gundam Article provides greater detail concerning the various works.

小説/富野由悠季 朝日ソノラマ【全3巻】/ 角川書店 1979年–1981年 is the work published by Ballantine/Del Rey I mentioned previously.

「機動戦士ガンダム0079」 近藤和久 メディアワークス【全12巻】 1992年-2005年 appears to be the work I mention earlier in this post; I haven't checked to see if Viz released the additional volumes beyond the four I currently own. Ah, Viz only released nine volumes; that's still five more than I currently own.

Volume 3 is scheduled for release on December 5, 2024

Interesting. So Full Metal Panic Another! ( the 1st sequel to FMP ) chronicles what changes the world experiences before this. Still as chaotic as ever looks like.

Volume 8 is scheduled for release on January 15, 2025

The final volume gets released the day after tomorrow:

@LilithR02R1 This very much needs licensing, I love this story and for it being quite simple it doesn’t have any official translation. This may be an old post but this needs traction. Media should not die like this, especially media that has brought light ti some as it did for me when I was younger.

@rmkelly said in Another World Fluffy Cafe (LN):

Publisher: Kakyomu

Kakuyomu is Kadokawa’s web novel site. The light novel is published by Kadokawa under their MF Books label (so would have been published under Media Factory prior to them merging all their individual brand companies under the single Kadokawa brand).

The problem with taking information from NU as gospel is that it is often unreliable, and what they are fan translating there is the web novel (which was actually published on syosetu.com prior to Kakuyomu) so the information listed is skewed towards that, despite displaying the LN cover and listing the illustrator.
