Yen Press got ISHIDA Akira's version license rights from BookWalker.
(However, LN-based manga ain't my thing due to various disappointing experiences)

@bloodygaikotsu Like I said, it's not really a LN O.o But thanks for the heads up, now even more stuff to buy >_>

Regarding mangas adapting LNs, I'm usually pretty lukewarm on them as well, I do check them out though. The ones I've liked enough to buy are Mushoku Tensei, Overlord, and SAO:Progressive. All 3 are mainly because I really like the art styles, though SAO:P also uses Asuna's POV a lot more than the novels do, and Argo has a hugely increased role, both factors that make me like the manga more than the novels.

@myskaros
I am not really against adaptations but most of these manga adaptations end up being just cheap promotion of the original.
Some only cover a small part of the novels.
Yeah, I've seen nice adaptations but that's just way too small percentage to start care about them.
(Like I read that Ryuuou no Oshigoto! author was pleased by the recent volume of the manga adaptation as they started to take more liberties to fit the manga format, which is what I seek in adaptations in general.)

myskaros

@bloodygaikotsu Oh for sure, I agree completely. Not trying to convince you to give them a shot or anything, just stating my thoughts :3

@bloodygaikotsu yeah, I sometimes dislike the holes in the story between the light novels and manga adaptations (don’t even need to mention anime adaptation as well), like World Teacher, besides missing scenes at the beginning, a later chapter in the manga didn’t show a certain fight scene, 1 to 2 pages just showed a fight starting and ended, no action happened, just that.

@myskaros It's a shame that the SAO:P manga is switching mangaka.

myskaros

@aruseus493 I know! I really liked Himura, not sure if just platitudes but Kawahara said if they do an SAO:P anime he hopes they'll use his designs.

I agree with manga adaptations of LNs. For example, Seven Seas has the manga versions of Rokudenashi and also "Mushoku Tensei", which the LN has been one of their most requested licenses for a while...

Yuusha, Aruiwa Bakemono to Yobareta Shoujo (The Maiden called Hero or Monster) 2 volumes (completed)
Synopsis:** That girl once called “Hero,”
She was seen as the savior of Humanity, and as the ultimate obliterator of Demons plaguing the world. Her magic was rule-breaking, her healing powers almighty, her weapon mastery unparalleled, and her will was of steel.
And then, she was called “monster,” and her tremendous power and abnegation was feared. Betrayed by her own comrades, she continued alone in her mission. She will not stop until all Demons are eradicated. Killing, killing, killing them all. Because that’s the Hero’s duty.
Losing her past, gaining new companions won’t alter her path. There is only one reason guiding her actions.
“Because I’m a hero.”

Karin wo Idaita Shoujo (The Girl Who Bore the Flame Ring) 3 volumes (completed)
Synopsis:** How long I’d been here, I couldn’t quite recall. From this sorry situation, I as always raised my eyes to the sky; a sky in which the great, massive sun was clad in levity. Sunlight poured gently upon all. What a blessing it would have been for the world if only the skies could remain clear. For tomorrow too, and for all days to come, I was to continue to pray for calm. To endure for those who cried, with desperation I remained in prayer.
And then, one freezing, forlorn, soulless, stagnant, drizzly day we died. Or so I thought…

Seems to be about someone who exits a virtual world to find their real world in some disarray. The New Gate is a similar setup, right?

This one looks whimsical... Well, besides the weaponry on the cover. x(

Guy ends up in another world, but he chooses FPS style attack skills to one-shot his enemies there. I'm curious how he fits into the setting and if his level of armament clashes with the setting as much as this cover.

This is that one about the muscly Aniki who goes to live with the dude as an exchange student, and probably helps the nerdy dude get closer to the red head (<---- Yes, this is my version of a light novel title).
