Not J-Novel Club but I've been having a really good time with Secrets of the Silent Witch.
Monica as the main Character has some similarities with Myne in Bookworm and Maomao in Apothecary Dairies:

She's immensely and obsessively talented in one area (in her case magecraft and mathematics)

Initially disinterested in things outside her area of interest

Socially awkward (dysfunctionally so, much more so than either Myne or Maomao)

Her outlook through the series changes and her social circle improves due to her experiences through the series.

Can be pretty funny at times but has serious stakes happening behind the scenes

11 volumes out in Japan (first story arc ends in volume 9) and 7 out in the west through Yen Press

@pcj Thank you for the tip. I very much appreciate it :)

Here again in 2026 trying to revive the petition for this one! or maybe any Kawakami book would be nice too!.

Very interested in a printed English version of this one..

@rickmenso can you provide some details like author, JP publisher, number of volumes, etc

communicating why you think this series should be licensed will help drum up support on the forum

Please, we need this!
This by Tanaka Romeo (author of Cross Channel, Rewrite, Stella of the End) is a true hidden gem!

I'm assuming it's an harem? Might be interesting if the protagonist isn't the usual super dense herbivore.

@Perplexed no news. JNC typically don't comment. A few other manga have had long gaps this year of similar length, but they were in a more caught up state, so I had just chalked it up to licensing issues. Still could be the case here though, as sometimes problems do arise when trying to get approval for future volumes.

Just checked on this and it looks like they're up to 11 volumes as of January 7th of 2026.

Looks like Vol. 4 was released in 2023. Seems like this author is either going slow or there's an issue with the publisher.

I read this a long time ago - really liked it even if it's about little girl mages and swordswomen - would definitely like to see this happen.

The manga series page have some free chapters available to read (until december 28 according to the image below): https://pocket.shonenmagazine.com/title/03020/episode/425915

That was quite a few pages available to “read”. ^_^ Could be interesting…

@shanadir

Hi,

This could be a few different issue. I will offer 1 suggestion below for a potential fix (for android devices).

If that does not work (or if you are on IOS). Please email us at support@j-novel.club with screenshots of the series tab in the app.

It may just be an issue of needing to refresh the app.

To do so, delete and reinstall to clear the cache data.
If you are using an Android device, please also go into Settings > Apps > J-Novel Club > Storage > Clear data

If JNC was still independent I could see a Kickstarter model working for niche series if there were enough fans willing to pay extra to make print volumes happen.

Even when they were independent, several staff said they were unlikely to do another Kickstarter after how much effort was involved in the Rokujouma one.
