Dai Eiyuu ga Mushoku de Nani ga Warui (Grimgar Spin-Off)
-
@myskaros My impressions aren't that this group is strong or successful per se, but that they're somewhat like Kazuma's party from Konosuba where they happen to luck out of situations in comedic ways. I've read that the mc is actually quite the coward, which isn't a quality we've seen in those other parties.
But yeah, the silly group and potentially unlikeable MC is probably not the best for drawing in Grimgar fans, but I'd still like to read it-- even if it's just for the extra worldbuilding.

More curiouscat (I promise its not me lol)
Regarding the earlier question about the Grimgar spin-off. If I recall, some of the characters from that series show up in the latest Grimgar Volume Wouldn't that be an issue for english readers who have no way of knowing who these characters are?
Sam: Oh, good to know. But random characters showing up that make no sense is one of Grimgar's charms.If this is true, it'd be really cool to know their stories if the characters become relevant in the main series. Also, this might mean that there's still a chance of it continuing (probably still a longshot). At this point though, it isn't likely to be licensed before we get to latest Grimgar volume, but it'd still be nice to see their story eventually.
-
@falcade tbh I wouldn’t mind another Grimgar related story with another group since all groups are different and Grimgar is a very punishing world.
-
I would be interested in this --
-
If they are going to license this now would be the appropriate time, pretty soon these characters will be appearing.
-
@jason-maranto I think spin-off titles should get licenced (if the main series is doing very well). I still have hard feeling for Yen On that the konosuba spin offs have not been licensed yet (Though Danmachi brings my feeling for them up a notch though).
-
I would definitely be interested in this even if the tone and style is completely different than Grimgar. The spin-off would help with world building. I've read a translated chapter 2 and there was more information about Alterna then there has been in the main series. A translated chapter 13 also gave a decent amount of information on the Elves of Shadow Forest.
-
More Grimgar is always a good idea. Even if the story isn't as interesting atleast we'll get some more world building.

The Grimgar author's first volume of his latest series is on sale for 30 JPY for the next hour for those interested.

Just read volume 12 of Grimgar
-
Don't know if there's been any forward movement on this, but I'd love to see these books translated (even if it's on hiatus). Like the others, I'd love to see more Grimgar worldbuilding alongside stories with a different tone than the original series. Besides, some of the bonus stories in JNC's Premium Grimgar novels also have a much lighter tone, and they've been great.
-
I didn't know there was a Grimgar spinoff. I'd be up for this.
-
Here we are, a few months after my last post, and the latest volume of Grimgar (14++) has even more appearances by the characters from this series. And there are a lot of things hinted at that sound like they were covered in the novels.
So, I really, really, really would like to see these translated.
-
Just read 14++ myself and I wholeheartedly agree with @Darketower . Especially now that we're caught up with the main series, it'd be really nice to have a steady flow of Grimgar again at least for a while. It can't be too much of an investment at three volumes and if sales are the problem just add "Grimgar:" before the actual title and I'm sure it'd break even.
