That's the downside of a true slice of life story I suppose, no big hook or novelty factor like ReLife had. The only goal or overarching plot is mentioned right there in the synopsis in the first post - four screw ups trying to prevent having to repeat a year. People will either dig the whole coming of age thing of them working & growing together or find it boring as hell. The MC starts off really weak too, they needed to flesh him out more way earlier than they did. Until we got those extra details of his backstory I didn't find him sympathetic at all & was more interested in all the other characters.

@shionarita Shogakukan does not like any form of Digital Release.

Volume 7 coming out 8/10:

@smashman42 sry had a two days business trip. As nichtmalda wrote the german title and the direct english translation. The german publishers generally have problems with title translation. You can't directly write something like "Onii-chan is done for" in german that would be "Bruder ist Geschichte" or "Mit Bruder ist's vorbei" which literally sound like the worst german you could write. You need some more filler words for a correct wording because you wouldn't write a title without context like "Mein großer Bruder ist Geschichte" or "Mit meinem großen Bruder ist's vorbei". It would sound ok if you used Onii-chan instead but most german publishers don't use japanese words for titles. But there are some exceptions like Suki Desu Suzuki-kun!! which got translatet as "Hab dich lieb Suzuki-kun" (literally "I love you Suzuki-kun"). Non the less i would like an english copy too. Also I have to add some info to my previous statement. The german version is the doujinshi version and not the tankoubon from Ichijinsha.

I've heard that the anime followed the manga fairly well, they probably missed some side stories due to time constraints, probably more in the www.working!! as it only had 1 season to cover 6 volumes while working!! got 3 seasons to cover 13.

Yeah it’s okay, I kinda lost interest in it some time ago when the WN was being picked up and dropped a few times, still reading from time to time. It’s a nice isekai slice of life LN, but I also want to read some school life as well.

I want this one picked up. Any idea!

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.

@jon-mitchell JNC licensed a few non-LNs already and I suggested, at least, 10 non-LN on the forums lol

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.

@hyperion I loved Oreimo, would be nice to see this get an official translation.

Volume 12 comes out in 9 days, here's the cover:

Ah, I forgot that it would probably be a good idea to get a synopsis of the main story too. Done.

Just replying to say that I've wanted this LN to be translated for years, and it is, without a doubt, the LN that I want translated the most. What I wouldn't give to own (and read) an official English paperback or, better yet, hardcover version of the Koten-bu series.
