I'm digging the rough looking art style and I love that there's a separate artist for just world illustrations-- really shows that worldbuilding will be prominent. I'm definitely sold on this.
-
@theredjet Here´s link to illustrations for 1st and 2nd Vol. and Ohh boy ...got goosebumps!!!!
-
I’d be down with this, art is seriously cool
-
The cover is stunning. The rough style really makes it stand out over other LNs. And it really screams Shonen JUMP lol. Upvoted

@falcade i was the one that added it
i made a mistake because i was rushing a bit when i added it ....
i apologize everyone for that mistake -
Whaf do you think about Sabikui Bisco(Rust Eater Bisco)? Any chance to licence this? —
I think it's on the fast track to anime-ville and I'll let the big boys have it. No reason to get dragged into a bidding war.

@terrence does it mean that others are lookin for it?!!
-
@theredjet No, I believe it was a joke not anything more.
-
@theredjet maybe more like if he is going to bid on it he will lose to the other publisher easily (Yen On for example, they have more chance for the big title)
-
Amazing art style and I'm interested since it won Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi.

Manga's getting translated now, with uploads to Mangadex. Hopefully that will shed more light on this series.
