@GeorgeMTO said in Membership doubt:

If you were looking for the cheapest way to do so, perhaps look into whether your local library has access to any of the manga? Many libraries also have access to ebooks these days.

This. I have attempted to request LNs through my library before. Sometimes they can get the volume in if they don't already have a copy.

Hi,

We have a stock answer about this that does get sent out to anyone who asks.

I am the one who sends them out and I am not seeing any unanswered emails about this. Perhaps it went to spam?

Here is the response:

Thank you for your email. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused.

We are in the process of changing how we distribute our books on Kobo for sale.
As such, we are in a half-state/limbo state where some books are on the new method, and some are on the old method.

Any books distributed on the new method will appear on the sale. Any on the old method will not.

We do plan on bringing all books from the old method to the new method in time. Unfortunately, that means some books part of our sale will not go on sale on Kobo.

@Rahul-Balaggan Sep 1, 2026 according to the slide.

Just to add onto that, the two series you mentioned are only partially available in readers tier. If you sub to that tier you'll get access to the first 3 volumes worth of parts for each series.

@tagents If you got a receipt with a transaction ID from Google, stating that you bought a JNC product, then we should have received the money and our support team can help you.

Hi,

I see that you have a Club membership.

That gives you access to anything that is currently streaming on the website. Including everything we just announced yesterday. https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/10335/news-recap-animeexpo-2026-announcements

As long as a volume does not show as "Expired" on the series listing page. You will have access to read it.

I'm having the same issue! It started after the latest update, everything was fine before that. It’s not a huge deal, but honestly, it's very annoying. I hope it gets fixed soon!

@GeorgeMTO said in Premium membership:

@Bluelou did you sign up before or after the 15th of June?

@Bluelou’s profile page says “signed up 8 days ago”, so after seems correct…

Email support@j-novel.club to request a refund.

@Rahul-Balaggan can confirm.
issue no longer appears in 3.4.1

Hello,

An update as been released on the app stores for the JNC app.

It may take a bit for it to appear in your update list but it has been released.

This should solve the issues with reading manga.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

They probably want to avoid using hard numbers since the readers library will adjust based on factors and while the number has only gone up so far, it could go down eventually.

@Esternis Hi,

That volume is not part of the Readers Library, and it is not currently on pre-pubs, so it can't be read with any membership.

The book can be purchased and then you can read it on the website or download it as an ePub.

We apologize for the confusion. Since there was confusion about what subscription tiers offered what, and you subscribed so recently. You an email support@j-novel.club to request a refund.

FYI this also affects the apparent ownership on the amazon product page, for some reason. At least it does for me, and only for these 4 volumes. On both the series summary page https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GQ9QWL7F , and on individual pages such as https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0GLYR5FTV it gives me the option to buy the kindle version - the button says "Buy now with 1-Click" instead of "Read Now".

But when I open my actual Kindle app of course, I own those 4 volumes already and can read them. They are just not grouped in the series with the rest of the volumes.

So as it is now I could accidentally buy the book a second time, though I have not tried to.
