There's a light novel of this? I watched the anime and quite hooked by it although the ending left hanging... I definitely want to know more, please get this translated

@MrWii000 From what JNC has said in the past, they have no intention of ever dropping any series if they can avoid it (they did drop one due to the Japanese publisher wanting it dropped because of some controversial stuff involving the author, but that's the only time that they've dropped anything). So, if JNC licenses this series, they will release the entire thing. It's just sadly unlikely that they'll actually license it given how old it is. But we can hope.

Just found this series and became a fan

@lighthawk96 The author did all that in Japanese, though. Knowing how to translate it correctly, and making sure all the phrases and terminology make sense in context of the story in English, is a completely different matter.

Not sure what's going to happen with this one. Is it going to be a rare one where the manga actually ends up with more story than the light novels? Hopefully the novels themselves can be continued until an appropriate conclusion is reached. I'd be interested in reading them if that's the case.

I think the LN for this one ended / stalled at just the four volumes. Author in the Afterward suggests checking out the web novel.

@Korppi The latest volume of Last Embryo was delayed by the publisher for months and when it was released last month there were no illustrations in the whole book, except the cover.

@hyperion Thanks for spotlighting this one! Still hoping this gets picked up...

Volume 3 comes out this month.

This could tide us over in the interim while waiting for new Realist Hero volumes to be published in Japan.
