Isekai Yakkyoku / Another World Pharmacy

@jpwong Honestly, I absolutely don‘t care about it, I just want to read and enjoy this part. If there are more installments which aren‘t even licensed in Japan, so what!!! After all, what you don‘t know doesn‘t disturb you. You can read this part perfectly fine as a standalone. Currently it also looks like the anime has quite the rise in popularity, it‘s really time for the novel to finally get licensed.

@Silver-Sugar-Duchess I mean based on what c933103 indicated while the part is pretty much entirely standalone, the problem is that near the end it does reveal this is part of a larger ongoing story. The anime is going to get around that because they simply won't animate those bits of information if it even gets that far. Same with the manga. But with LN you have a bit of an issue. They can't license most of the other parts of the series, but editing out the references is probably going to kick up a shitstorm too.
There's also the possibility no one's touched this series in any form because whoever owns the license wants way more money than anyone is willing to pay. This wouldn't be the first series where it's gone by the wayside because of how much it would cost to license.
-
@jpwong But it could turn out that in the light novel version this little part will be omitted, or slightly rewritten. Well, I could imagine it, since most of the other parts aren‘t even licensed in Japan and it‘s not clear if the following parts will ever get licensed, too. And it looks like the fifth part stopped releasing after just one volume.
I‘m also thinking similar to you, that the anime probably won‘t come that far for these details to matter, or it will be omitted/changed/rewritten completely, same with the manga.
I just hope the international licensing doesn‘t fail, because the publisher wants way too much money, it would really be a pity...At least it seems like in my country the anime got licensed, they recently announced that it will get a German synchro.

Not only the medical terms … going ahead and reading MTLs of the webnovel, it seems like the latter part contains a lot ofstuff? I was thinking of sitting down and doing an MTL-based fan translation of the webnovel since I can manage the medical concepts, but that other stuff is way too out there for me.
So yeah, while it is extremely disappointing, I can sort of see why it might be really difficult to find a translator for the series.

It has been quite the long time since the anime got released and there are still no news of the novel getting licensed. I‘m disappointed...

Yep, it‘s time for this series to shine in English. I wonder why no publisher has licensed it so far... Maybe it‘s really because of translation problems, but if it wouldn‘t be licensable in the first place, like the series from AlphaPolis, I would be really sad. Anyway, you‘ve got my upvote for this!
-
@rosi I think you should forget about it. I just saw that the manga got already licensed by One Peace Books... It‘s high likely that they will get the novel too. What a waste... I‘m now hoping for a German release.
-
@Silver-Sugar-Duchess What's wrong with One Piece Books? Also, seems like volume 1 of the manga will be out on the 30th.
-
@Eminent Light Novels aside, I don‘t really have good experience with this publisher. I definitely would have prefered Seven Seas Entertainment, even Yen Press.
-
@Silver-Sugar-Duchess True. I think their books cost more than the other publishers too.
-
Upvoted despite its apparent stall as from what I've seen/read, it is a pretty well done story.
Main reason I posted is out of curiousity. Allegedly an actual pharmacist or scientist wrote this. Anyone know if there's any truth to that rumor?
-
has my vote
-
Definitely upvote, love the manga!
-
It‘s a bit strange the novel hasn‘t gotten licensed so far… Perhaps it‘s too difficult? Anyway, you‘ve got my vote!
-
It would be nice, if this novel would be finally announced tomorrow, but the chances are probably pretty low. I don‘t want to get my hopes up…
-
I really wonder why this awesome novel still hasn‘t gotten an official English release.

It's been a while but I still want this LN licensed.
I got reminded about this after browsing about Reincarnated as a Neglected Noble (which is currently airing) and saw that their LNs have the same illustrator. Same with Reincarnated as the Daughter of the Legendary Hero and the Queen of Spirits as well. All the LNs by this illustrator have good stories but not a single one has been licensed (only their manga adaptations).
-
I've always been interested in medical stuff so I'd be down to give this one a try if it got licensed.
-
Oh yes, the manga is so good! It would be great if the light novel were finally available in English.
