Campione! (カンピオーネ！)
-
I can't really describe how much I love this series. The amount of research the author does for his series is amazing, which is the main reason I respect Takedzuki Jou. It really pulls my mythology/history buff heartstrings. The action is awesome, the fights between Campiones/Heretic Gods are so massive in scale, and the fanservice is sublime. It strikes a perfect balance between both.
I love Campione with a passion, I would definitely re-read this series, even more if it would pave the path for more Takedzuki Jou series to be licensed. Like the sequel-not-sequel, or Chronicle Legion, or Meiyaku no Leviathan.

Looks like we're up to 24 votes for now.

My first LN, I would definitely buy it.
-
Ooooh I loved the anime! Always wanted to read the LN and I would definitely buy it.
Even more if it was to be printed (would buy twice). -
Putting my vote in here too. Would love to read this.

@michaelblue-the-king said in Campione!:
Ooooh I loved the anime!
As a fan of the novel since waaaaaay before the anime aired, and someone who HATED the anime for butchering the LN so much, I can only say that if you liked the anime, the LN would blow your mind.
I just hope someone picks it up, Campione deserves a lot more love.

@paulnamida This reminds me of a certain Visual Novel I've read... what was the name.... oh yes! 11Eyes!
-
I would love this as well but there may be a problem with Licensing it. Someone should correct me if I am wrong but I believe this light novel changed publishers in the middle of the series. Making it so it may be difficult to get permission to publish it depending on the licensing agreement the author had with both publishers.
I still would LOVE for it to be released. I desperately want to read this one as the Anime did not feel like it resolved much at all.

Just 1 more upvote and we reach 50 :-O
-
@terabyte I usually upvote about everything, can’t believe I forgot about this one. Well 50 now.
-
59 votes now, 1 more for 60. So, here's a little bump 😜
-
I really enjoyed the LN for this series but the fan translation for the first 10 volumes or so stopped and disappeared years ago (also the anime didn’t do its source material justice imo) definitely worth an upvote and if anyone responsible for JNC licencing reads this its 100% worth translating and adding to the JNC series list. ; )
-
@nonmelodic this series was in my plan to read list as i think it has complete fan translation. I just checked it again on novel update again after reading your comment and it is completly translated (on novel updates it show link from vol 18+ to 21 and at baka updates its till 18 volume). Is there some wrong info as you said its till translated only till vol 10??
Correct me if i am wrong -
The series is indeed fully fan translated. I didn't check it myself, but I read that the last volumes are really badly translated, though. Being able to read a proper translation (and supporting the author at the same time) would be much better.
That's one of the reasons I haven't looked at the fan translation yet actually; another one being the lack of time (lol).
-
@bromit Really? it has been a few years since I last checked up on the series fan translation (stopped looking after baka tsuki got copy right striked a few years back and it was taken down). I'll have to catch up on volumes 11 onwards, thanks for the heads up xD (tho an official translation that supports the author would still be awesome).
-
This topic keeps getting new votes from time to time. We're up to 67 now.
I actually "lost hope" of this LN ever getting licensed and I started taking a look at the fan TL. But I'm crying just thinking back to all the wrong Italy's references 😢

This post is deleted! -
A new volume was released recently for this series btw: "Campione EX". As I understand it it's a volume to wrap up things(?) after the last volume of the main series.
Updated the volume count in the first post, too.
-
I really enjoyed the anime so this got my vote awhile back. JNC is a bit lacking in urban fantasy / secret world LNs so this would be a nice change of pace from all the isekai.
-
@terabyte are you Italian, btw? Just to know...
