I really hope this one gets licensed! I love OSO so much, it’s been my favourite reread series fore nearly a decade (mind I’ve only been able to read up to vol 15 fan translations)
It’s world building (game system) is my favourite of any vrmmo novels, the story is fun and cozy but still having exciting moments, and the mc doesn’t become some overpowered godlike monster that’s a top ranking player in like 5 volumes side eyes FLFO (mind I still like flfo but Yun is much more fun to read about then Anastasia)
I would very much buy all the volumes in English if they were available.

Just wanted to give a boost to this manga.

The description is by far one of the worst enemies of this series and seems to turn away a lot of folks.

I think they were trying to be ironic, but it IN NO WAY comes off that way.

To give a TINY SPOILER, basically, that "certain girl genius" isn't a character until far, far later. And she's basically reprimanded for messing up so many people's lives by doing the summoning her master explicitly told her not to do.
She's not a character in the manga even up to the latest raws (maybe kinda but not really).

This is a manga with great art and a general vibe that just feels... different. There's some OP-MC stuff, but in a kind of fun way that also never feels "invincible."
And even then, things are overall rather inventive.

The main character is just so DONE with the BS around him, constantly. It seems to rub some readers the wrong way, but I have a hard time understanding why.

I read some of what was translated from the novel, as well. I think this series would fit well into the j-novel club set of series.

Though, I am not certain if the LN was ever properly finished, and the manga has been slow to release - it seems rather irregular. I think the manga is only around chapter 30 right now.

I'd really like to see this series get some attention. I love the art, and the story has not been the usual isekai BS.

Thank you for your patience.

The issue with the download has been resolved. Please try downloading the book again. If you encounter any further problems, please let me know.

The end illustration of sparkly Ferdinand was so beautiful. I wonder if it is his rejuvenation potion in the spoon.

It's definitely consommé.

How could it be anything BUT consommé?

@myskaros Yup, it's all fixed now. Thanks for fixing it so quickly.

@kiriya-aoi As I said back then, I thought part of the problem was doing two translations simultaneously.

Yes, both Spanish and English are important in the world market, but locking the two together put restrictions in place that are hard to deal with.

Doing that with a small company? Not a particularly good thing.

@Rahul-Balaggan I apologize for that, I wasn't sure if I sent the correct email as I only used Google to find your email...

I know this is an older suggestion but I would still want to add that I would be very much happy if J-novel Picked up this LN series

I would love to purchase an official English translation of Oni no Hanayome (鬼の花嫁) by Kureha. I have already purchased other officially licensed light novels by Kureha, and I would buy this series digitally on release. Please consider licensing it.
It's a wonderful serie already translated on manga and animation. Would be great to read the author because I do love light novels. And when I love a series i want every way of reading or seeing it. Thank you.
