@AliceCheshire I haven't seen anywhere saying they were planning to fit it all into this season, either. They just might only do half of it and then do a 2 cour season 5 to do the other half. Or we might get it all this season. We'll have to see how fast their pacing goes.

@Question
i like finding posts like these, btw, and was surprised to not see a comment or forum post from you on MangaUpdates 👀

According to Bookwalker, JNC does in fact hold the publishing rights now. Which certainly explains the "weird contract limbo".

@Korppi That is an extremely good question. So I asked them.

We are really sorry for the confusion.

Hannelore’s Fifth Year at the Royal Academy Volume 3 just released in Japanese and based on the advert at the back it appears that Volume 4 is tentatively scheduled for 2027.

@Torka said in Sengoku Komachi Kurou Tan (Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era):

Completely passed me but the manga was licensed… by Emaqi.

Well then, yo ho ho

Added the timeline to my fan site. Also realized i am bad for not making updates since volume 7.

And Volume 3of the LN is in preparation. (Source: Series Kakuyomu page)

did your post get cut off?

Well thanks a lot that does help ease my mind a bit even more so since I thought volume 9 was the last but 10 was actually released not to long ago. Again this is my favortie LN. That uncertainty and complete lack of information is just terrible for my mind. Not super surprising though with the amount that JNC atually does.

@unknownmat I think there's also an element of how many names and terms you have to keep track of. Bookworm has a lot of characters and a lot of names, so the translator would naturally need to slow down somewhat cause they'll have to cross reference their rosetta stone to keep the names and terms of lesser used people and things in line across all the books.

Plus the amount of time the editor spends going over things could differ wildly between publishers
