Those outfits on the cover look so stylish! love emoji

Honestly, I kinda want to read it just because it's so out there. Also I guess it would be a GL series? Or GL adjacent with the gender bent angle.

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

@Lily-Garden I don't know all the old stuff that was licensed but Earl and Fairy that was brought up seemed like a bad choice for a test series as it didn't age well culturally or visibility wise.

Maria even today remains a presence in fully parodies like Yuri is My Job and repeatedly referenced by other series.

and yet... v6 just got announced. I can only assume it was to keep the license channel open with Shueisha

I have no idea what their stipulations are for them to drop a series. Diaries from what I understand was selling poorly also before the anime (I'm assuming it is through the roof now.). It might simply be as long as a series isn't selling in the red they keep translating it. It would take someone who actually works at j novel to explain it. Chances are they wouldn't share that kind of details though.

Anyways a rewatch of Maria first season just finished on reddit that was rather active with comments for pride month. Though sadly the post themself got bot brigaded down voted for each one.

@ShipTeaser Some dudes are so gun-shy that they will do anything to not get hurt.

Volume 7.5 came out this month in Japan.

Volume 7.5 Cover

So it's Kou 2 ni Time Leaped Shita Ore ga, Touji suki Datta Sensei ni Kokutta Kekka but with both main characters as time leapers. Seems interesting.

I really dislike super dumb MC in my LN. I can put up with it a bit more in anime form, but I still had to drop this anime after 4 episodes. Just could not hack it. Anyone know how faithful the anime was to the source? Because I do like dungeon x real world.
