      I think the primary challenge JNC would have moving into the Korean market is they likely have limited to no contacts with any of the existing publishers over there. Quality KR to EN translators could also be an issue, but probably a smaller obstacle. Unless it's something they've already been doing behind the scenes already, I can't see that anything could happen in the short term, as Bookworm puts it, you have to ensure the groundwork is laid out before taking a major step like that.

      That said, if you're really looking to try and get a print edition of DoD, you might want to see if you can try to steer Yen Press in that direction. Their Ize press label is already printing some KLNs like Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, so they clearly have relationships with Korean publishers right now. I believe Publang got the manhwa print license (though I've yet to see anything beyond the announcement so far which happened at ANYC 2025...)

      Yea I concur with @Libri-Liberorum on the pacing.
      It's also quite strange that both Charlotte and Wilfried are at the same towns for spring prayer.
      The last scenes are directly from Part 4, so I guess if the anime has a next season, we start directly in the Academy instead of having Myne do her frenetick learnning of Year 1 materials.

      Would have been nice to see the attendants grown up but oh well.
      Time to wait for the next season's announcement. Like @Libri-Liberorum I hope they do a more moderate pacing next time.

      I've read vol 1-7 of the manga and think it would be a great addition to the LN on JNC.

      I've had a lot of luck importing used books (which I only do if it's out of print, the new prices are already fairly affordable even for tankobon) from Buyee, which I only leaned recently has a feature on their site that will search multiple stores. (They do charge separate fees if you're ordering from multiple stories, then you can have them bundle that into a single package to send to you.)

      Since I'm mostly doing this for older stuff by authors I'm catching up on, I'll add that early volumes are often only 100 yen, but last volumes can be double or triple the cover price. There just weren't as many copies printed in the first place, and since the series ended, no reprints; at least one took several tries to even find a copy that hadn't been sold out from under the listing. (I assume, since the seller cancelled after the order was placed.)

      @Furihama

      Hi,

      You subscribed to the Library Pass which grants access to books in the reader's library.

      If you want to read the latest volume of Hannelore. Please upgrade to the Priority Pass (also called Club Membership). That grants acces to the latest volume of Hannelore.

      Or you can buy the book for 799 coins. The book costs 799 coins to pre-order/buy. And you gain access to the book as it is released and when the final ebook is released.

      Just want to mention again this may be quicker to resolve over email as compared to the forums.
