Does anyone know if the Author still has plans to write Volume 13? He is still alive and well?

Just finished this and I absolutely loved it! I especially like how honest she is about her circumstances and the way she described her youth shows a lot of self-reflection. I was very moved when she talked about her difficulties because I think my personality is similar to hers (though I loved school and I'm not as fearful of people).

This isn't an in depth look at the anime industry the way Shirabako is (though it definitely has a lot of insight in the industry just because that's the author's main work). I would say it's more about her relationship with her mother and her journey to find a place where she belongs in the world. The place just happens to be the anime industry.

I really want to watch The Anthem of the Heart now.

Thanks for the info. New name kinda sounds not as cool imo, but ah well.

@Rahul-Balaggan Thanks.

@LegitPancake unfortunately, not aware of any.

@Kalessin to add, Kaiten (new publisher) currently sells DRM-free manga from Overlap and Futabasha so those should be fine. Kodansha occasionally has some Humble Bundles (all DRM-free) so perhaps they may fine with it as well.

@Serah said in Smartphone: have we ever had an illustration of guildmaster Relisha?:

Are there no fan communities of light novels like with manga - where you might find fanarts about that character?

I'd check reddit, or the wikia.com or fandom.com community site for smartphone. I'm sure they would exist.

All right, volume 3 is now updated! As usual, the updated premium version is available now while other webstores may take a couple days to process.

It has also been uploaded to Amazon, but due to ongoing complications, it may not be available to download there for the foreseeable future.

@LegitPancake I think he wants to know the chapters titles? The book's table of contents basically.

Kindle e-Ink:

Download book from JNC. Run Calibre. Click add book to library. Attach USB cable between PC and Kindle. Click send to device. Device > eject. Done!

Kindle to Fire android tablet:

Uhhh ... sorry. Calibre can convert to kindle format if you want to use the Kindle app instead of an EPUB reader app, but I've never done this. The EPUB apps I checked in the Kindle app store mostly had negative reviews, this is where not having the Google Play store hurts.

You can also use Calibre's built-in ebook reader to read it on the PC.

Also be aware all of these volume have been printed, and ebooks go through an additional QA process for printing that doesn’t always make its way back to the ebooks.

@Clarabelle I can not recall any info on that, but it is completely translated and published, so not sure if they will update that or not...

I hope there will be a novel from my wishlist, even if the chance is probably low.

@SomeOldGuy Either that or science class lied to us.
