The English Wikipedia article indicate volume 17 was released on September 25, 2025.

@HarmlessDave yeah, v1 of this is one of the few books I have on Kindle since they didn't sell anywhere else. Although the series seems to be complete now so maybe it's more likely to get picked up by someone.

@myskaros Noted and thank you for the response

I also believe that author's can self-publish ebooks on Amazon. I would assume other digital distributors might have similar options.

@Asura11 Same author as Torture Princess; along with Akuyaku Reijo ni tsute (also a Gagaga title) probably the best thing she's done since.

@Asura11 This is one of my favorite current series. It's basically what if a Game of Thrones style low fantasy had Stand Masters running around in it. Every volume has a deliberately different tone from the previous one, and the art alone is worth it. LAM is the best in the business.

@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...

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...

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.

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.
