@jampodevral @Liber-Monstrorum Same here.
By the way, the raws of the first chapter of the new manga adaption are out.^^ Unfortunately it‘s no drawing style like Yui Kikuta‘s, but similar with the two The Apothecary Diaries manga the new manga adaption takes a different and interesting approach.
I‘m thinking of buying the raws of the new manga adaption to support the author and artist.
-
@jeweledpoisonousbutterfly Really? I will check it out! If it‘s good, I will buy the manga too.^^

It's really interesting how different both manga adapt the light novel. I think it's worth reading both, the new manga adaption is especially exiting, since it will probably adapt more than only the first light novel volume.
A comparison of the old manga with the new one:
-
I so, so love this novel!!! A dream would come true if it would get licensed, especially by J-Novel Club (since they already licensed Culinary Chronicles of the Court Flower, which is by the same author, wouldn‘t the chances be higher for J-Novel Club to get the license?)!!! And I‘m so happy that an anime and another manga adaption were announced, hopefully this will boost the novel’s chances for getting licensed too.

Author doesn't matter for that, only the publisher does.
One of the best examples of that is FUNA, whose three series all have different Japanese publishers and different English publishers.
Extensions of a series are another matter; side stories and fanbooks are most likely to get liscenced by the same publisher as the main series. This is simply because keeping everything together make things easier for readers to find, and thus purchase.
In this case: The publisher is Kadokawa, so if anyone were to liscence it, it would most likely be either Yen Press or J-Novel Club, or Kadokawa's new English label. It doesn't seem to fit the types of series that Seven Seas tends to go after.

@piisfun What is actually the point of discussing now which publisher will get the license for this novel?
We will see it anyway when the time comes, which publisher got the novel in the end, be it either Yen Press or J-Novel Club. I myself really hope it will be J-Novel Club, since I prefer their superb translation and I also want to buy the premium ebooks of this novel. If Yen Press would license it, I would have problems getting the physical copies of the books, since I‘m living in Germany and it is getting harder and harder these days buying english books... Ebooks, like kindle books from Amazon would be another option, but you never know if Amazon bans them for whatever stupid reason they will have and on the other side the illustration quality isn‘t very good, because they always crop the ebook file... And a high illustration quality is very important for me. -
@silver-sugar-duchess The point was to explain to a user who didn't know which factors were important.
-
@piisfun Well, besides the author being the same, the publisher is too. I could imagine that this would make a higher possibility for the novel getting licensed by J-Novel Club.
But for all I know, it could turn out wrong. We will see... -
I really hope that this novel will be one of the new licenses J-Novel Club announces this Saturday. I would be sooo happy then!!!
-
Read the first four chapters of the new manga and so far I really like it. Although the art style isn’t that beautiful, it is much more detailed than the old manga. I really hope they will adapt more than just one light novel volume this time.
(I still hope and really wish for that J-Novel Club will license the novel!!!)
-
I‘ve read the old manga adaption and loved it! Unfortunately it ended after adapting one light novel volume. The happier I am about the novel getting a second manga and even an anime. I hope this time they will adapt more than just one volume. And hopefully this will boost the chance for the light novel getting licensed. The fan translation stopped after the second volume and I‘m dying to read more of it!!! I so, so hope JNC will license this novel.
-
Same here, out of curiosity, which publisher do you think will most likely get their hands on the license, now that a anime adaption and even a second manga have been announced? J-Novel Club or Yen Press?
