@hirei will there be a feature added to remove titles from “Continue Reading” if we drop a series?

The author has said he really wants to get these books published in English.

Kodansha has licensed the old manga and will begin reprinting it next year. This is a good time for somebody to think about translating Daichi-hen.

J-Novel Club is a company that doesn't sell anything I'm interested in reading. I only have an account here because I bought a few volumes once upon a time. I do put my money where my mouth is.

My anime-only spouse was pointing out how the current season of the anime is lacking the emotional resonance that the earlier seasons had. I pointed out that they are ripping through plot at warp speed such that it's a story told in bullet points unlike before. The episode to page count ratio is so much lower than would be preferable.

It's a fine adaptation, not great. But they did capture my favorite part of the series: Dias is the ultimate expression of positive masculinity; The Himbo! He's strong, he protecc, he dumb as hecc, and he doesn't let thinking overcomplicate what he knows is right.

@Felcesa none of the membership plans will get you access to all the Bookworm manga. They do not have any availability in the Reader membership, and the Club membership only allows access to the currently translating volume (Part 4 Volume 7). As the rest are released volumes, you'd have to purchase them in order to access them.

If you were looking for the cheapest way to do so, perhaps look into whether your local library has access to any of the manga? Many libraries also have access to ebooks these days.

@Luigi2262 this. And a small calendar of coming up release are something I have always missed in the app.

@Korppi The MediaPad M5 should be a solid choice for manga and light novels. For local manga libraries, I'd recommend looking at an Alternative Tachiyomi app like Mihon, since it has a clean interface and handles local collections really well. Moon+ Reader is still one of the best options for light novels, so using both apps together gives you a great reading setup.

@lairsengima I've been duly instructed to one up this suggestion.

@wanderer_1204 said in Ascendance of a Bookworm - General Discussion:

I wonder if the next to be translated will be fanbook 9 or SSC3 or H5Y v3.

I am personally looking forward to some long form translations like one of the latter.

My expectation is that they’ll either do (H5Y3 -> FB9 -> SSC3 -> FB10) or (FB9 -> H5Y3 -> SSC3 -> FB10).

Using iOS 15.8.8 website is completely unusable now

@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.

@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.
