      @myskaros Is J-Novel going to license this series? I am asking you since you are a staff member.

        @theo Hi there, we do not comment on potential or ongoing licensing pursuits! Whatever we have licensed, you will only hear about it through our licensing announcements.

        Also note that licensing is a contractual agreement between two companies, it's not like picking up a can of soup at the grocery story :)

        Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

          @myskaros Ok I understand, thanks for answering. I hope that this series (among others) gets licensed since it's extremely relevant considering the present circumstances. Keep up the good work.

              A friend of mine and I have been reading the fan translations of this over the last week, we both enjoy it immensely and would love to buy this from JNC. So I am upvoting this.

                      I‘m still waiting for J-Novel Club to license this amazing novel, it would be the perfect reading during the pandemic!

                        I seriously wondy why no publisher hasn‘t picked this novel up so far, it‘s great!!! Would love it, if JNC would license it, their translation (pace) is always superb.

                          @adelaideroseamaryllis So, I'm caught up to date on the manga and I'm wondering if the light novel follows a different path. I've read the summaries of light novel volumes 1-7 and compared it to the story up to the newest manga chapter. The web novel seems different too when I google translate it on syosetu.

                          Spoiler Alert:

                            @animeotaku5000 It’s well known that in most cases the web and light novel differ slightly from each other, after all the light novel is the official published book and often needs to be rewritten in some parts and also gets professional edited. There are rare cases where the manga is adapted from the web novel, but not in this case.
                            So I wonder, where did you get the assumption that Falma goes to another kingdom with the knights? This doesn‘t happen in the manga. So far he never left the empire (though he apparently does in volume 8 of the light novel, but this hasn‘t been adapted yet).

                              I'm assuming it's because the latest manga chapter I can find

                              Anyway, gonna say based purely on the manga, this one seems like it would be quite an interesting read, not to mention it's on point given the pandemic. With the anime upcoming it would be nice if someone would be able to license it.

                                Now that a anime was announced quite some time ago, it is totally time to license this novel! I‘m so dying to read it!!! And like other people I‘m thinking this is the perfect read during the pandemic.

                                  I‘ve been waiting for ages that this novel gets licensed! I hope now that a anime has been announced it will be soon. Out of curiosity, which publisher do you think has the best chances to license it?

                                    Has anyone already seen the short trailer of the upcoming anime? Seems like the art style will be from the manga, not the novel. I‘m already super exited for it!!!

                                      I just watched the trailer, cannot wait. Now if only the LN gets picked up.

                                        Bumping this because of the anime. Quite interesting! LN and Manga licenses are up for grabs it seems. I'm going to read the manga, but will wait for JNC to license the LN before reading that. :)

                                          I have recently finished reading the web version of this novel in Japanese [being completed recently] and I must say it is not a simple thing to handle.

                                            Imagine my surprise when I searched the internet after watching the anime and found no official published translations. It has been a while since an anime has peaked my interest into reading its light novel/manga on its first episode, ... only to find there is nothing for me to buy?
