@arghc ya. It is a lost opportunity in the end of last week's episode where everyone was dumbly cheering up Angelica instead of speaking terms to help with the the merchant saint ( like it actually happens in the LN).

@Coelodonta said in Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie! Manga Gets TV Anime in 2027:

"The manga's ninth and final volume will ship on September 16."

This seems like the most important bit of news. We get two more volumes.

In any case, I wonder how far the adaptation's going to get. It did only take 5 volumes for them to make it official.

Looks like Overlap has released a new version with a different illustrator now so hopefully this might be able to rescued now.

@MintMarbles omg.. yes this would be amazing.. im hooked on Oni characters ♥️

@Hylebos missed that line, sorry.

E-mail sent.

I normally don‘t read such novels, but this one got me quite interested. Leah is really cool! Blanc and Lyla as well. Now I would also like to read the manga.

@Ekun said in The Ryuo's Work Is Never Done!:

now, now ... Will JNC add the whole series into their catalog too!?
or will be still only on BookWalker (dot) com ...

it still neither on Amazon Kindle, nor Kobo, neither (Apple) iBooks store ...

Seems j-novel club added the first three volumes here. Now hoping they add the rest. I do have them already from bookwalker but I don't mind double dipping, at least now I don't have to go through all that hassle to read them on my kobo (or re-read them when the occasion appears)...

3 each month is their current plan.

It's hard to know whether it's an author or a publisher that's dragging out a series, and if it's the author why they're doing it (money, attention, lack of ideas for a new series or after story, etc.)

Failure Frame drove me away when it reached a perfect point to end the main story arc, but then the author threw in a reset to drag it out (forever?).

I'd much rather read the Skeleton Knight or Realist Hero approach where the author finishes their arc then starts something new with the story. Otherwise it turns into kid cartoon shows where the bad guy escapes every episode so they can come back next week to sell new toys.

And now it's out! Full deets at: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/10356/the-ryuo-s-work-is-never-done-volumes-1-3-discussion?_=1784144394851

@karasutengu totally fine, just pointing out saying "quick for a manga" isn't relevant here, since it isn't a manga original series.

@Dizyab

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.

@karasutengu said in Livid Lady's guide to getting even Anime:

Update:

The anime is scheduled to premier on Jul 6, 2026 on C-R (according to it's latest update)

Welp the anime started last week and is is spot on (as anime go) with the LN and manga. I specifically like the way they portrayed the MC's father as a cold, calculating SOB that puts the kingdom ahead of everything including his daughter. I hated him.
