It's a real mystery to me why nobody has licensed this yet, it‘s such a good and cute story.

Could be useful to those reading D-Genesis (tongue only partially in cheek.)

I'd wonder about how well it would sell, but admit I'd be interested in it if it got licensed.

I don’t know about how there only “seems to” be a manga if you’ve read multiple chapters of it, but there’s three volumes out from Kodansha (it’s in Monthly Shounen Magazine, chapter 17 was serialised yesterday).

The LN has only one volume out, in 2022, but as it’s not numbered I assume it’s a oneshot.

Thought I should add some verbal support, since it’s thanks to this thread that I have three volumes of this and a fourth on the way.

@mariechan_hime It is mostly art style as the basics are shared, but there’s a difference in hair styling (braid appears to go behind the head in the manga, but over the top in the novels)… and she looks so happy!!! on the manga cover.

VOLUME 2 COVER

It became avaible on MANGA UP by the name Proud to be the Villainess: I'm Doomed After Stealing my Half-Sister's Fiancé and Having Her Banished

They’re both published by Kadokawa; Young Ace UP is the site where the manga was serialised. I say was because while neither is tagged as complete on BW, the last LN volume was released in 2020 and the manga has been on hiatus due to the artist’s health since 2022.

@Roy-Nukia Got it. Thank you for telling me.

This seems really fun so I’m bumping this up

Volume 3 Released on August 30 2024

VOLUME 3 COVER

Too bad no one picked this up before the anime started airing this season (since it seems like alpha might finally be open to overseas licensing now), the series is up to 16 volumes (vol 16 came out June 19, 2024).

@Torka said in Farming Life in Another World:

Small update - during the most recent stream, there was a discussion over "when Bookworm ends, what will replace it as JNC's tentpole series?" Farming Life was brought up and Sam said he was considering it. Obviously can't say for certain whether it will actually happen, but it's progress

That's interesting. Really hoping JNC gets this one then. Perhaps in the next announcement stream. The licensed manga seems to be doing well, so it definitely has a following.

Fan of the show, would love to get a translation of the novels

@mariechan_hime Same here. But I ordered the Limited Edition with variant cover.

That cover!!! Sounds interesting, I would like to read it!

Definitely want to read this novel, so please license it!

Sounds funny af hope it gets picked up.
