Are they gonna license this or what?

Torka

Apparently, the author once recounted how they went to an English publisher to see if they were interested in licensing it. They weren’t.

With Kadokawa now licensing their own light novels (HigeHiro is one known, alongside the manga they’re releasing on Bookwalker), there’s the possibility of them just publishing it themselves. But no, no current English publisher would want to license a series about a guy who is constantly raped, but then finds a way to turn back time so he can rape all of them.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping.

@torka I did find the Higehiro Manga on Bookwalker, but the LN still doesn't have a professional English translation (though people are still doing fan translations of it.) So is Kadokawa working on their own translation then?

Anywho, perhaps it just needs a solid fan translation.

@eminent

That light novel has been licensed by Kadokawa directly.

It was very recent

Edit:

@Torka The manga is been put out by One Peace Books, not sure if you already knew, your comment made it seem like Kado was putting out both.

Eminent

@rahul-balaggan I see! That's great, though RIP to all of the fan translations that'll have to be taken down at some point.

Also if anyone would like to see a bit more about Kadokawa’s dive into direct publishing, we do have the following topic:

@rahul-balaggan WOW. Could this be a good thing? Or perhaps not so good since you'll have fewer things to license at JNC? And how would we ask them about their plans for publishing a translation of Redo of a Healer themselves?

@eminent

Only time will tell, some people commented on how they feel about the news in the above linked topic, if you want to see how some members in the community feel.

Edit: as for asking them questions I am sure they have a Twitter, if not other forms of social media
