      I hope he doesn't, the manga version is pretty badly drawn.

        @guspaz But it could get more people interested in the series (and light novels) who read manga. And art style is subjective after all.

          I don't think the art is amazing for Realist Hero, but I find it acceptable.

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

            @sam-pinansky It might also make them a bit disappointed when they find that the light novels aren't nearly as focused on female chests as the manga artist clearly is :P

              The girls look border line deformed.

                It ain't the best art, that's for sure, but I've seen plenty worse I suppose.

                But yeah geez, tits literally bigger than heads ain't that common on otherwise skinny chicks - is that meant to be Juna? Jebus!

                Edit: an art style where that works is Maid Dragon & the rest of that mangaka's non-pr0n work - deformed looking on purpose can work.

                Edit: skimmed further in the manga and the way overboobed woman is the queen, so I guess I can let that slide.

                Edit again: Looks like it was Juna, but her and the queen basically look 99% identical except for clothes.... (could be I can't see their faces past their enormo-boobs)

                  OK, I just looked through the scanlated chapters of the Realist manga.
                  The "balloon boob syndrome" is there, yeah (HOLY HELL EXCEL). But aside from that, the art is pretty well done IMO. I really like Tomoe and Liscia's designs and the crowd shots really made the world feel alive to me.

                  And I'm so glad I can finally distinguish between Souma and Hal without a struggle.
                  In the novel illustrations the only difference I can spot is Hal's slightly longer bangs and red-ish hair (when he appears in color...).

                    I don't like how the manga art largely does not have shading, does not use variable line thickness, comes off looking sort of like sketches, and the way that every female character got huge... upgrades.

                      If Realist Hero is getting a manga adaptation, is an anime in the future? (Please don't screw it up like Master of Ragnarok.)

                        @paul-nebeling I imagine this happens and they use the LN art as a base & there'll be a vocal manga only fanbase that goes off their nut over it not looking right cause teh bewbs are too small.

                            So any Discord rumors about when new titles might be teased? It’s been a month since AX and I believe there were a few more that were being cued up.

                            (Not that I need more right now, still have three volume 1s to get through)

                                No concrete clues for any of the upcoming titles, however here is 1 from Discord

                                (echo)

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

                                  Some random thoughts on the clue "(echo)". I'll spoiler them just so others have a chance to see the clue and develop initial thoughts without being influenced by the direction mine went in, since I don't think my thoughts are all that likely to be correct.

                                  spoiler

                                  I can't actually think of any titles that line of thought would be hinting, but maybe others can if nothing good comes out of other lines of thought.

                                        Ugh, more things to read now as if I hadn't enough already. I'll surely take a look at Bakarina and Head Beast.

                                            I need to see what this is. I love fun setups like that.
