      @terrence said in Meitantei no Jouken (Requirements for a Crack Detective) [迷探偵の条件]:

      (I think "Conditions for a 'Crack' Detective" may be what they're going for with the English on the cover? Referencing the conditions of the curse. Other places listing it as "Conditions of a Lost Detective", which is what MTL spits out for the title).

      It seems to be a pun. 迷探偵 is read "meitantei," same as 名探偵 ("Great Detective") but 迷 means lost or foolish.

      "Crack" is... maybe an okay translation here? A crack commando gives me the impression of an elite soldier, while a crack doctor is a fraud.

      (I have no opinion on the series itself, I'm just here for the pun.)

      Tsukumodo Antique Shop's first few volumes was a novel I read alongside Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria, back when I still new to light novels.

      So, imagine this scenario: there's someone new to light novels, and those two novels were the very first ones he read. At the time (and to this point), he likes one as much as the other. Years later, I still have difficulty finding novels that can rival the writings of those novels. From the top of my head, I can only name probably novels like Biblia Koshodou or works by Sugaru Miaki that can rival them.

      Now of course, as a random anonymous person, my opinions hold little to no importance. But I do hope my point comes across, point beingTsukumodo Kottouten is an excellent novel.

      It has unfortunately not been licensed, so there is no official translation. Digging around a bit, it looks like there are fan translations for several of the volumes online, but I don't think that we're allowed to post links to that sort of thing here.

      G

      I would also very like "Usotsuki" to be published, foremost because the character's dialogues are intersting and the protagonist's lies, to the reader and other characters, are, at least for me, both entertaining and unique.

      @theredjet Ah ok. That ratio between light novels and manga was just so different from what I usually see that I wasn't quite sure what was going on.

      I‘ve read the manga adaption of this novel on German and I sooo want to know how the story continues. It would be great if the novel got licensed!

      Well, Most of these guys have very distinct style and preferences.
      You can easily guess them when you get to read it.
