@Lily-Garden "I sold my life for ten thousand yen per year" (三日間の幸福, Mikkakan no kōfuku) is a Japanese novel written by Sugaru Miaki and illustrated by E9L. It was published by ASCII Media Works in December 2013. The novel received a manga adaptation titled I Sold My Life for Ten Thousand Yen Per Year (寿命を買い取ってもらった。一年につき、一万円で。, Jumyō o Kaitotte Moratta. Ichinen ni Tsuki, Ichimanen de.) illustrated by Shōichi Taguchi and published by Shueisha on their Shōnen Jump+ platform, and then released in three tankōbon volumes.

I have not read the novel myself, but I have read the manga and have to admit I really enjoyed it. Although it was only 16 chapters (a later chapter was added as 16.5) I thought it was a bitter-sweet story that ended up showing how 3 days could actually end up being the best out of 30 years in a lifetime.

@greenmonsterbees said in The New Gate:

I would also love to read an official English translation. The novel is great! Also, it would be great to have this in print as well.

I'd also love to get this series in physical media. I can purchased the Manga in print, but the LN is still elusive.

The manga now has an exclusive translation on Bookwalker Global, with volumes 1 & 2 available. Not sure who licensed it.

@bskye7-0 said in Magic Maker: How to Create Magic in Another World:

@Eminent I agree. the anime has me hooked so far and I was disappointed to find there hasn't been a licensed English translation yet. I think I saw that Seven Seas picked up the manga but there are only 20 chapters or so... I want the LN ASAP (and I saw a few people say it has AoaB vibes so I'd definitely read just based on that)

Guess we'll find out on the 14th.

Volume 6 is scheduled to release in February 14, 2025

I completed this after quite sometime, and it's not that it got cancelled, but that it had its own ending independent of whatever the WN's doing. Like a Rokujouma V29 scenario.
Still a good one illustrated by none other than Ruria.

Worth noting that this series is actually completed with volume 18 back in 2024.

Volume 12 comes out this month in Japan.

@Torka I recommend the anime which is currently streaming on Crunchy Roll with 5 episodes to date.

Still mad they didn’t go with “Skill Nuts”, which is as close as a translation to the original

They didn’t go with “Nut Master”, the cowards

@xstationo-0 Vivid Strike has been confirmed to be licensed by Discotek, this will be their last Lyrical Nanoha license for now.

@Ingraman It’s the true volume 1 cover. I just wanted to do the little suspense thing

@Torka said in Monster Farm Run by a Couple:

Author: Sanda Shiro (?)

It’s a long “o” so I would personally romanise as Sanda Shirou. Although the publisher of this specific book is using Nihon-Shiki, “Sanda Siro,” they themselves use Shirou on Kakuyomu: https://kakuyomu.jp/users/shirou_sanda

Note that this is in Japanese order (given name last), whereas you’ve given the illustrator’s name in western order (given name first).

Volume 10 is scheduled to release in January 10, 2025

VOLUME 10 COVER

VOLUME 5 COVER according to this volume synopsis this will be the final volume.

I discovered this series after reading the first volume of the manga version of The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power: Forget My Sister! Turns Out I Was the Real Saint All Along! , but after reading the LN version I do not know if this series from Volume 2 to 5 will be good (Volume 1 is available in Web Novel Format)
