      Re: [Hachinan tte](Sore wa Nai Deshou!)

      So, I saw this one already has a topic suggesting it for translation, but when I went to post in that thread, it suggested that I start a new one since it's so old.

      Personally, I don't understand why the anime isn't more popular than it is. It's a little different by way of an isekai anime, largely because of it's focus on political schemes and how the protagonist responds to them, rather than the harem elements (which do exist, but aren't as front and center as in similar titles), or the adventuring (also exists in the background), or dungeon delving (see the previous two). And then there's the problem of the fact that the anime is literally the only English translated medium for this series. The anime's first and only season covers five volumes, best I can tell by reading online, which means a LOT of material was left out (that's about 2.5 episodes per volume, and each light novel volume is typically between 250-300 pages).

      I, for one, would really appreciate someone translating this series. I find it very unlikely that the series wouldn't be profitable.

        Seconded from me at least. I really enjoyed the anime and I like the manga even more (I've been reading it in French since there isn't an official English manga translation) and I'd definitely buy it in English as well.

          Ignore it when the forum software suggests a new topic due to age.
          JNC prefers necroposting.
          If they want a topic dead, they'll lock it themselves.
