      2020 was a tough year, so we're hoping we can help start off 2021 just a tiny bit better! :) Maybe by exploring some other worlds...

      The anime adaptation of Otherside Picnic is starting this month, so if you get impatient and want to read ahead, all four volumes of this yuri x creepypasta series is available for members! And with a recent anime in 2019, you can also check out the entire completed If It's For My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord series!

      We've got even more atypical isekai for you! There are the absurdist adventures of Kaoru in the light novel of I Shall Survive Using Potions!, the hyper-grounded but acclaimed JK Haru is a Sex Worker in Another World, the unconventional tale of an overpowered protagonist in The World's Least Interesting Master Swordsman, a story of survival in Teogonia's age of gods, and finally the manga of a reincarnated pastry chef in Sweet Reincarnation!

      Wishing a wonderful new year for all our readers!

      Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

              Wait, what? I only somewhat remember that series from its show, which I recall as being almost excessively saccharine...

                          Thanks for the heads-up. I have no problem with that kind of explicit content in general, but...

                          spoiler

                          I will have to think long and hard about whether I’m willing to engage this story now, because I tend to be a completionist, and will likely not be able to stop if I start.

                            It sounds like you should probably skip it...

                              Ah, yes, another holier-than-thou Uchinoko discussion.
                              Tbh, if you can handle the very idea of the topic, it's worth giving it a shot - the series handles it much better than people here are making it seem to be.

                                  So how is Uninteresting Swordsman? I’ve been considering that one.

                                    @LegitPancake It's dull and boring... but not that bad. I guess the rest depends on how much your position on topics brought in the series aligns with the authors.

                                      I like it so far, I’m not sure if there was an anime for it? I originally read the manga for this story and it was good, and once the LN got picked up I read it to see what the manga left out. It’ll feel like your basic op character nonsense, but it then changes viewpoint a bit and focuses on a more sweet story.

                                        Hello,

                                        If anyone wishes to keep discussing For My Daughter in detail please feel free to open up a new topic. As this topic is for monthly catch-up titles it is inevitable that there will be some discussion of book content, at this point it tiring into a For My Daughter discussion thread.

                                        Thank you.

                                        Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

                                          I think I'll have a non catch up month. Nothing there I've read or not own.
                                          And, I absolutely love the If its for my daughter series. Lol, kind of bought the series 3 times, epub, paperback and in Japanese.

                                            Ah, Potions and Picnic could be good to catch up on.

                                            Haven't tried Teogonia or Least Interesting Swordsman.
