Volume 3 is scheduled for release on December 17, 2025

@Lily-Garden Yeah, this really sounds interesting.

Added:

I just read chapter 1 of the WN and laughed my head off. I really hope JNC considers publishing this.

As a quick update, the manga has been licensed by Tokyopop but the LN is still available. And an anime was just announced...

I enjoyed the light novel so I would love to read the manga

Volume 7 is scheduled to release in February 10, 2026

The main story will probably end in this volume, but author wrote some extras stories that happen after the end of the main story.

I remember reading this, it was a nice series. Not sure it would be much profitable since it's old, but who knows.

It got Seven Seized

Okay this sounds hilarious I'm giving it an upvote.

@doceirias As if waiting for me to make two posts in two days the obi of the new volume says this series total sales have topped a million, which is a LOT more than I'd been assuming. I guess this is a legit sleeper hit.

@doceirias said in Gosick:

Red Girls is split over two editions but has ~9000 and A Small Charred Face at around ~4000 (both still far higher than the average light novel.)

It sounds like J-Novel Club is missing out on tens of thousands of potential sales.

Yes please license and translate this thank you! Love this series!

Arslan is by the author of Legend of the Galactic Heroes, which people like. And it gets exposure through a manga drawn by the artist of Fullmetal Alchemist, which people like. So I think people would like Arslan too.

I've read a part of this WN and liked it, but had a hard time with the pacing. I would love to read the LN.
