@someoldguy Well, we've got 8 volumes left, so it's possible, but I really don't see Garius or the prime minister letting her anywhere near that wormhole for the foreseeable future.

@harunachiep First Name Last Name is the order we went with (mostly because it's what the illustration at the front of the book uses), so, yeah, that one's a mistake. Thanks for catching it.
Send an e-mail, and I'm sure we can get it fixed.

Questions for both:

what was your earliest experience with Japanese media?

what was your most memorable experience with Japanese media, that cemented your interest in it?

what was the most difficult translation decision thy was made in Businessman V1?

when it comes to translating/editing is there any particular “work environment”, that you favor, or is the world your work environment?

@krotar Sam said that they license it and would be starting soon but they've yet to start Mixed bath and Unwanted Undead, which were both published a month before Grimgar, also by Overlap
Apparently it's a licensing issue https://curiouscat.me/jnovelclub/post/903695529?t=1560714381

Volume 3 (Premium Edition): Bonus Editors Column (Produced by J-Novel Club)

Thanks, that makes sense. (And "latent but severe case of chuunibyou", ha. XD Putting it that way makes me like him more all on its own.)

Volume 6 (Premium edition): 2 mini stories originally produced for in-store exclusives.

A Tiny Zagan was Discovered The Two Adopted Girls

@unholyfiretruck The fact that Seiya wasn't "having fun" was choking off the animus flow to Latifah. There was plenty enough around her, but she was being "starved" as it were.

His magic and hers are, I'd guess, intertwined, so what he feels, affects her.

This was actually quite fun despite the harem and SAO references so I'm glad I gave it chance. It remained relatively concise and focused throughout all six volumes and even has a solid end, which is a real rarity for this genre (as far as I know).

@legitpancake Volume 2 only ended last week, it would normally be 2 weeks between volumes. The first part may be delayed a few days though to allow for the English cover to be finished.

@jon-mitchell Long years of negative reinforcement (Houki mostly) has conditioned him to interpret what he saw as the girls seeing him as some horrible rapist.

What I hate is finding glaring (to me) issues in the published volume that all of us missed in the pre-pubs... Such as Keima's "special nature as someone from another word." in part 5, or "Wait about the other spells?" in part 6. They weren't obvious then, but now...

Guess I'll have to put together an email to support about them after I finish reading v5 again...

Started reading volume 4 this week, downloaded from premium. Found a problem:

12% - "But why would that a problem?" - missing a word.

@harmlessdave That's so Rekka.

For everyone who bought the premium version, it has been updated so the the Textless color illustrations are now viewable.

@terabyte said in Sorcerous Stabber Orphen: Vol. 1 (The Wayward Journey) Discussion!:

Okay! Thanks. I'll email them.

@paul-nebeling The covers of the Japanese editions were revised about like 7 years ago I think?
We are using these new edition covers, but if you look at the old Tokyopop releases for example or the original print editions in Japan from the 90s, you'll see the old cover illustrations.
