@terrence I actually post the LN’s for the same reason, I think they would be more likely to publish spin-offs if they publish the original light novel first

I liked the anime, it is a good and wacky romantic comedy with some nice albeit mostly insane girls in it and a lot of all around good nonsense

@bloodygaikotsu Thanks

I didn't know this series also had a manga adaptation. Would be fun to Jnovel pick it up since they have the light novels.

This sounds dumb as hell and like a real riot. So, right up my alley. spoiler

It's kinda like a family oriented dungeon story. It's acutally pretty good. I would like to see this one translated.

Just read volume 12 of Grimgar spoiler

Yea, I like how the mc has the balls to do what he does lol. I wish more protagonist would act like him tbh.

@aruseus493 I've never dealt with them, so don't know about their history and can't say for certain, but none of their manga have direct sales now and all redirect to Amazon. Likewise, checked their games and all of them re-direct to Steam. If they were selling direct, I would assume that this is just a change in their distribution chain. In this current era, in-house distribution is an unnecessary expense for publishers of any format. This could also account for the staff reduction mentioned in your earlier post.

@jjch102296 You should probably make a habit of not asking for illegal translations on an official English publisher's forums.

Spotlight time! A friendly bump to an older post that hasn't had any recent conversation and is lower on votes in order to draw attention to it.

Sounds fun and a different twist on the genre (usually healers are female, and not tank builders)

@Terabyte From wikipedia: Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the series in 2007 under the title Zero's Familiar,[9] but later cancelled the release of the novels. Also,gomanga novel page via web archive, 27.09.2007

@aruseus493 So do I. I've asked for it on Seven Seas' survey multiple times too. We have the anime, we have the manga but not the light novel. Why? I guess the length of the series is against it and maybe the age of the anime now? Because it's not an isekai? It has the obligatory harem and beautiful girls on the covers that would help sell it too.

It's a pretty good heartwarming story. Main character makes friends with all the right people. Made me laugh with events like the king of the country they are summoned to excluded the main character out of his party and ended up angering two of the demon kings as a result.

If I recall right the not-digital-only publisher is the one for Reincarnated as a Sword: MicroMagazine (or a similar name).

i want to bring this up to clarify an above comment. At least as far as i've read in the fan translations it's believed that all the people brought over have a unique power it's just some woke up right at the start and others need a catalyst. Example main character getting his arm gnawed on by a slime

Would love to see this translated.
