I liked the anime (cause I'm a huge mecha nerd) and would love to read th LNs.
-
I only just learned the anime was based on a light novel, and now I want to read it. Please do license it.
-
I wonder if the situation has changed with the JP publisher, and I still really want more mecha LN got localized

Just found out that the light novels (epub) are not on Amazon anymore, does anyone have info about it ?
Did someone buy the rights to the LN ? -

Did someone buy the rights to the LN ?This LN has never been licensed in English so far because the JP publisher wants an ungodly amount of money for it. If there were epubs on Amazon, it was most likely an illegal fan translation.

@Terabyte Interestingly enough the official Japanese version is no longer available to purchase on Kindle on Amazon Japan, so it's possible something happened (unless it's just account restrictions).
-
@jpwong Oh, so it was about the original JP version. I've seen some fan TLs being sold on Amazon in the past, so I figured it was about that. 😋
-
@Terabyte I guess it is region locking, I went to the page listing incognito and it's still available to buy if it thinks you have a Japanese account, so I guess the poster is referring to an illicit English TL.

I wonder if this is still the case, that was long ago, and since then a few of their novels have been licensed (e.g., Apothecary Diaries and Ideal Sponger by JNC.) Fair, none of them with anime, although Restaurant to Another World, also licensed, got two seasons.
-
@Crimson-Wise Worth noting that all of those series have had significant publication delays between some volumes "for some reason." Yes, including Restaurant. That might imply something >_>

It's totally about that, I didn't know it was a fan translation.
