The cover art for Volume 1 was released in advance on the Overlap Bunko X Twitter account: https://x.com/OVL_BUNKO/status/1968985922373833028

With this I was able to confirm that, the Artist for this series have experience doing art for Dungeon exploration on modern days and Yuri, for LNs.

I liked the design of the MC(A more specific comment would have spoilers).

The various different things are dungeon materials or curry ingredients.

The fairy looks a bit like it, but I think that's to make drawing easier (she was described as being about the size of a thumb).

Another tag that could be added to this series is misunderstandings , because the misunderstandings that happen in the story are what generates the rumors/urban legends that happen in the story.

There is one extra tag that is present on the WN version is:

Volume 2 releases 8/25

volume cover

Sounds really interesting

For searchability if nothing else, the romanised title (as on the cover): Kurogane no Mahoutsukai

Volume 5 is scheduled to release in October 25, 2025

@gustavosousil Now for them to just do the manga as well! :D

@Aruseus493 Would be nice to have. I wonder if they can actually license Blu-ray stuff?

Hmm. Only three volumes? Finished?

@Korppi Probably. The manga is apparently ending soon, so it seems they ran out of juice

Volume 12 comes out this month in Japan.

The manga for this is good. Wonder how much more detail is in the light novels. Also interested in how much of the web novel the light novel has adapted. Would be cool to get a license.

Quick update bump. Most recent volume was vol. 11 in March. The manga has also been licensed by Seven Seas as Let’s Buy the Land and Cultivate It in a Different World
