Three wildly different protagonists for the price of one, in a slice of life type story with some love triangle aspects? Yep, sold.
-
I’m pretty surprised no one has picked this one up yet. I have read the manga twice now it is a fun read an great story and is very popular in Japan
-
@ant13099 It's not surprising it hasn't been picked up given that the publisher is Alphapolis; no Western light novel licensor has been able to license any of their works.

Beneath the Tangles (the blog I write for) -
@stardf29 well that's a shame as I said the manga is super enjoyable and I would have loved to read the ln series
It is kind of odd that a company would not want to expand its readership into to new markets but o well guess I'll just have to be content with the manga -
Volume 14 came out last month~ Not gonna post the cover as it seems pretty spoiler-y.
-
AlphaPolis... 😩
-
@terabyte I’m really at a loss as to why that company alphapolis wont license any thing
I mean it’s a bit odd that a company would not want to increase its reader ship and revenue
-
I thought AlphaPolis was one of the companies that said they weren't interested in licensing any digital only releases. I could have sworn that AlphaPolis had some light novels of theirs licensed but not by J-Novel.

They've licensed out some manga, but I'm pretty sure none of their light novels, at least none I've heard of.
-
@malloc Nope, they don't wanna license any novels period.
7S & Sekai Project managed to nab 1 manga title each (RE:Monster & Gate Manga respectively) but that is all we saw.
Also i won't get into it but there are rumors that Sekai Project's abysmal handling of the Gate manga is what led them to not wanting to licence their property. Again just unfounded rumors.
-
That makes me just sad... there are several Alpha Polis light novels I really want to read. Guess I really need to start focusing on brushing up on my Japanese if I ever want to read them. My Japanese isn't good enough to relax while reading a light novel. Bookwalker sells quite a few of their light novels in Japanese.
-
It was another publisher that doesn't want to do digital only. (I think TO Books in fact which would explain why we're getting a print for Bookworm already.)
From all that we've heard, Sam just can't get a meeting with their Light Novel division. It sounds like their manga division may be more easily contactable. It's not like they don't license out their manga. I know the French release of the Gate manga is almost, if not caught up.
And it wasn't the English gate release that soured them since J-NC was already around at the time that the Gate manga had recently been licensed I think. The time-line wouldn't sync up.
-
I have a feeling as other light novel publishers make additional funds and increased readership through American
Licensing they might eventually change there tune. I mean it dose not make much business sense to not seek more revenue and profits -
@aruseus493 from what I recall Sekai Licensed gate manga back in 2015, so it was over a year before JNC became active.
-
Oh, this sounds interesting. It's a shame that there's issues with licensing from this company.

Orphen is also from TO Books, and it's digital only.
-
If I recall right the not-digital-only publisher is the one for Reincarnated as a Sword: MicroMagazine (or a similar name).
-
This novel is soooo good!
I hope it gets licensed by a company at some point. -
it got canceled, right?
I haven't found vol. 15, and vol. 14 finished in cliphanger -
@TeoPadilla The author publishes the WN on Alphapolis' website.
There's a bunch of a short stories and the first part of vol 15 on the site.
