@Geezer-Weasalopes He is her nephew, but she and her sister were not related (I think, it's been a bit and I lost interest halfway through volume two...)
This is not a secret to either of them or the readers, that summary just makes it sound weirder than it is.

Would love seeing this licensed. The anime is a young classic. It would fit in good with today readers/viewers as it is a whimsical fantasy and fmc. A lot of series and anime are coming out that is similar types like this for instance Wondering Witch for just one off the top of my head.

The anime is still licensed.

For a moment I thought JNC decided to rescue the LN, but it's nice to see it's back being published in the west.

@Lex I'd say harem-ish? I haven't gone too deep in the WN translation on another site but, it seems like it's less dense herbivore and more too focused on revenge.

I so wish this would get a proper licensed release, anime was peak and there is so much more to the story, one can pray 🙏

@Phredis

Hi, it was also reported in our Discord Server. That escalated the issue to the manga team.

@GeorgeMTO That's a bummer, I'm a physical media guy and will read things digitally if that's the only way, (out of prints as an example) but if I have to wait for a physical copy then that's a small price to pay :-)

sorry J-novel community, I made a classic blunder

@Geezer-Weasalopes - 23-24 are a bit like the sugar route volume where they head off away from everyone to a new land. Also a bit like 22, but without the silly goddess avatars to liven things up. Tenion says so too.

They were less interesting to me than prior volumes though partly because of 23 mangling the first half of the stoy.

From the ending of 24 they will be heading back to the normal Shiga/Saga haunts in volume 25.

I enjoyed 24, but if you're struggling to stay interested you could skip 23-24 and not miss much.

Please be assured that we're aware there is a new volume in Japan, and we're working to get that volume to readers as soon as we can. We understand that it may not be as quickly as readers would like, but we can only ask for your patience and understanding.

@TBthegr81 the price/length metric works if the experience is equally enjoyable, and a lot of people prefer more visual media like anime and manga than books.
My friends are all certified nerds but I'm still the only LN reader in the group, and when talk about anime we like and I mention that they are based on LNs that have 5x more story content, the typical answer is "cool, let's hope they'll make a season 2 then".
