@Ellkamoria01 J-Novel Club don't have general submissions (primarily being a company that translate works already published in Japan), but have run 2 contests for English works before, and have said they plan to run a 3rd at some point. The criteria for the 2nd contest can be found here.

@gustavosousil What a pity, I liked his long hair.

Next question: Which membership? Readers or Club?
Readers Library gives access to a ton of older stuff.
Club gives access to what is currently in pre publication.

If Reader, it doesn't give the access you seek.
If Club...email support@j-novel.club since they'll need info you shouldn't be sharing here.

If you got Reader and wanted Club, you'd also want to email them to see about swapping it out.

And volume 7 is going to come out on March 9, 2026.

The series is currently up to 3 volumes so far. (As of September 2025) Here's hoping it isn't axed.

@SilverFuton It adapted the first three novels, so half the original series. Extremely late reply...

@LurkingMcLurk @wanderer_1204

Thanks for the responses. I kind of understand what's going on now. My enthusiasm for Bookworm content not authored by Kazuki is basically zero, though, I've just realized. I guess this is the one time that I won't be upset that Japanese audiences have access to exclusive content that the US audience never will.

Ah, same illustrator as Household Spells, I figured I recognized those willowy limbs from somewhere.

Volume 2 Released on February 20, 2026

Long time no see!

Adding more characters...

alt text
Alex
Entrepreneurs can rarely influence a mayor, though they enjoy good price talks. Negotiations are what made them mayors.

alt text
Nata
They might buy simple groceries to hide the offshore activity. Or make a fake purchase to exploit their taxes. Sometimes, they buy regular geek stuff and threaten to take down your store for fun.

alt text
Sibs
These sibs only look similar. They have opposite tastes and disagree with each other all day! Because of their unpredictability, they could be valuable clients for either profit or reputation gain.

alt text
Kaycey
A prominent therapist and authoritative customer. They know how to manipulate sellers very well. If you refuse to serve them, they will take revenge. Aside from destroying your reputation, they will make you sell extra cheaply.

alt text
Mx Malkoff
Highly intelligent, careful, and delicate buyer. Claire has exquisite taste and expects things to impress them. Claire likes their favorites and is willing to sponsor them greatly. Rare to visit, though.

@shanadir, I was able to confirm that it is a bug in the latest version that will keep filtering by catchups if you were filtering by them before the update. We are working on an update to fix this with some other small changes.

We have also configured the server to ignore that part of the search query, since it is deprecated. So the Series tab should work for you now. Hope that helps.

Hi. We are working on an update with small changes and fixes. It was an unintended change that broke this feature and it is one of the things the update will fix.

@pcj thank you!

Volume 3 is releasing on February 27, 2026. Cover shows a new manga only character!
