Considering volume 3 came out 2019, it's pretty safe to say it's stalled/axed. The author apparently hasn't had much success.

I didn't notice that. That would be quite sad to hear.

I did some more research right now on Dash X Bunko website and found the volume 05 of the Manga adaptation is going to be released on 09/17/21 so there might be some hope? The story was originally a web novel apparently so they could still take it from there.

I have not been able to find any info if the light novel was cancelled/hiatus or if the author is going to make it a manga series only.

If someone finds something, please share.

@korppi

Light Novel retailers never list stuff as completed/stalled/axed without the publisher telling them so. Otherwise, the volume 3 listing is for the manga adaptation. The Light Novel's third volume came out back in 2019.

Whether the Web Novel is ongoing doesn't really matter if the publisher dropped releasing the Light Novel.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that this one's been on hold for a long time.

The curse of Overlap..

@elbert-ganda 僕と彼女と実弾兵器 is the WN title; the LN title is 銀河戦記の実弾兵器.

I'm interested but the lack of it being ongoing or completed at more than 4 volumes doesn't really give me the desire to buy it. JNC has enough stalled/dead series as is.

@Jon-Mitchell I imagine the women/girls are into their own fathers, but because of the main character's skill, that infatuation gets redirected towards him.

I got to be honest this is harem trash. But unlike most harem trash it's enjoyable. It's a guilty pleasure. I would read this. Just...I would never tell anyone that I was reading it.

@torka Looking at the free preview on Bookwalker, the illustrations aren't particularly skeevy. There's just the common swimsuit/lingerie, but really JNC already has series with far worse. And even if the comments above about it having lots of sex are true, JNC has dozens of titles already with sex, albeit usually off-camera. JK Haru has tons of detailed sex, and it's never had a retailer problem because the scenes in question are only in words, no illustrations.

I think this series should be safe to get since I don't see any evidence of nudity. So all JNC has to do is put the mildly ecchi color illustrations at the back of the book (which they already do) and there shouldn't be any problems.

The main issue is licensing. J-Novel Club has never gotten a license from Shueisha before, with Yen Press and Seven Seas the only publishers to have gotten titles from Dash X Bunko.

I honestly would like more R-18 novel licensed but I'm not sure JNC is the right publisher for this kind of thing.

sign me up for this one as well. I recently enjoyed the show.

After over 2 years, finally another volume is releasing June 24th.

I honestly thought this series had already been licensed
...I wonder what I confused it with

Sounds like the author is MIA sadly. Here's hoping he's alright.

Otherwise, this series should probably get marked with Stalled.

@torka said in Eiyuu no Musume Toshite Umarekawatta Eiyuu wa Futatabi Eiyuu o Mezasu (The hero Who Was Reborn as a Daughter of the Heroes Aims to Become a Hero again):

LN volume 6 was released a month ago, albeit with the illustrations now being done by the manga artist

I hadn’t actually opened my copy and Hika Akita still did the cover so I hadn’t noticed.

While this isn’t itself an Isekai, it is in an Isekai world, being a sequel to an Isekai WN with at least one recurrent character. The third in a set of three WNs set in the same world (IIRC set chronologically before this one) got a manga recently, although unusually there is no LN adaptation for that one.

—edit—

I’ve just glanced the afterword to see if there’s any explanation for the change of artist (none obvious) and it confirms not only that Hanryuu is set 500 years before this story, but that the main characters there are the ancestors of the (pre-reincarnation) main character here.

This just looks too fucking adorable. Upvoted.

No volume in over a year now makes me suspect that it's stalled.

Volume 4 promo.

i really loved this anime and wish the light novel would get picked up, its just sad to see something like this not get the attention it deserves. it is by far the best harem anime ive ever seen, it doesnt even feel like harem, but just a group of friends where one of them brings along her brother. every feels like real people rather than just some trope for the checklist.

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.
