Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor

I liked the anime and manga so getting to read the LN would be awesome.
-
I still have hope for this one. Maybe J-novel Club will answer my prayers.
-
Really want this one. Will j novel be licensing it?
-
@ahoffmaster3954 If they do, you'll find out when they announce it. If they don't, they won't tell you.

Well people always ask for it, so on that front there is hope. As long as people keep asking you never know.If you ask me, why this has not been licensed yet, its probably because of the amount of money the JP publisher wants and the label - its seems pretty hard to obtain something from them.
On the other hand, the longer a series contiunes to grow and isnt licensed, the smaller the chances of it getting licensed are.

@novurdim SukaSuka is also a series that isn’t exactly “happy”. Most of the people I know read LNs for the action or the good feels. So maybe that has something to do with it.
-
I am quite saddened that SukaSuka has not done very well, I was hoping that Yen Press would eventually take up the sequel SukaMoka to continue the story (still hoping!).
I would easily have a read of this series, if I recall the manga is under license by Sevean Seas Entertainment, which J-Novel appears to have a good relationship with, so maybe not a hundred miles away from possible.

Sorry but the relationship between JNC & Seven Seas will have no effect on whether this title is licensed or not, Seven Seas doesn’t hold the rights to the light novel license.

If they don't I'll be super sad! That'd be basically like dropping a series part-way through...

With Anime Expo coming up soon, maybe we'll get some new license announcements from the usual suspects, and here's to hoping that this gets licensed eventually. I started reading the manga recently, and re-watched the anime. I really hope that this gets picked up as the characters and story are just a lot of fun.

I loved the anime but there seems so be no way to read the light novel in English past volume 7 or 8. I hope that someone will license it!

State of the series, May 2021
Probably not going to get a lot of traffic on this, but it's worth a shot.
So...currently, there's still no word about an EN localization for the Light Novels yet, but until then (Whenever that is), here's what we know so far.

Other News
Ok so, having dug around this place, I'm surprised to find that no one has uploaded the scans of the covers at...all...so, here's a quick flurry of info you can look up over at the wiki.

Any questions, we'll help answer as much as we can. The username you see here is meant to help. Though uh, plot stuff we'll...keep it silent and/or redacted for a bit.
Unless people are ok with it, we'll talk as far as where the manga has reached in Japan plot wise, and that's about it. Even then, it's...difficult to talk about stuff w/o the cover pages sort of explaining the current state of the plot.
There's some...disturbing stuff we refuse to spoil, even for the wiki.

I suppose if the LN is on hiatus/ abandoned at YEN, JNC could pick it up (in theory) - JNC might want to tweak the extant volumes and re-release starting from volume 1-to keep editorial/artistic choices consistent (honorifics, localizations, etc.) going forward. With the current Kadokawa/JNC partnership this might actually be feasible. I enjoyed the anime - would be a fun LN- the question is (as it always is) will it sell? Yen must've stopped translations for a reason

? The light novels aren't licensed in English, manga is but by Seven Seas, Yen's got nothing to do with any of this, other than the fact the property belongs to their parent Kadokawa. Also, nothing is on hiatus, SS released last English manga volume(volume 11) in March, and back in Japan both the novel and manga are still very much ongoing(volume 18 of the light novel came out in December 2020, and volume 15 of the manga came out March 2021).
So, what are you talking about here??
That said, I VERY MUCH would like someone, anyone, to license this(well, perhaps not Slow Press...)
