        So we can sort when searching through the catalog between Manga or Novel now, and Most recent, least recent, along with the old A-Z, Z-A.

        Of course, nothing listed under manga yet.

          @raitoiro well I still like the original cover. The series is about the characters and you get a sense that something is not right when you flip the cover anyways.

            @drone205 The serie is about character but mostly that dude being badass while killing goblin what i feel that cover show more than the jap one. The real problem is more that the next volumes will probably have the jap cover so vol1 won't fit that well with the rest of the serie.

              New hints up for 5 manga and placeholders for 5 lns on the announcement page

              Manga #1
              Now with "enhanced" character design

              Manga #2
              Just call Terminix

              Manga #3
              Preferred Apache

              Manga #4
              The manga we deserve, but...

              Manga #5
              Are we sure this isnt a touhou?

              Considering the description I think it is highly likely that #1 is Realist Hero due to the complaints about the changes to the character designs from the lns.

                  @smiley_101 if everything stays on track around Thanksgiving, could be before could be after.

                  Scratch that looks like manga is set for around Thanksgiving, and LN will just come in “winter”

                    @sniper_samurai I think you're right about #1; but I still hope we're all wrong. Realist Hero's manga art looks really bad to me 😐

                      @rahul-balaggan here's to hoping we get "Rakudai kishi no Cavalry". A man can only dream after all

                          I do hope we get the Realist Hero manga. The art looks pretty good to me, balloon boob syndrome notwithstanding.

                            Hints are up for the manga!

                            Spoiler:

                            spoiler

                            Terminix makes me think of that Exterminator other world light novel, but this is a manga title, so idk. It does have a two volume manga as well, so hmmm.

                              Yeah, my guess for #1 is Realist Hero. All the females in the series got... upgrades. Don't get me wrong, I'm normally a fan of that sort of character design, it's just that in this case it's a change from what was already established.

                                I didn't look much into the hints yet, but if #2 is Exterminator, then I'm all for it. I've been checking out the WN + manga scanlation and I like it!

                                  Not sure if I'd like Exterminator, myself, but not everything is for me. I read the WN and it ... just got repetitive. He doesn't do anything and it's not the fun sort of slice of life. Though that's WN, so they could've edited it for manga/LN.

                                    @dtta From what I've read of the manga, which I suppose is based on the LN, the story is already a bit different at the start.

                                      @drone205 My problem with the original cover is you can think that will be a funny manga with cute characters and others ...
                                      Oh we have cute characters but hey ...
                                      We have beautiful ones too (The sorceress !).
                                      Anyways, about the 10 new acquisitions, because i'm bad with that, i will just wait...
                                      But good job J-cafe for novel in real books and for manga ! :)
                                      I will look at it. ;)

                                        I'm guessing this is a title that's similar to a webserver or helicopter name.

                                          Didn't Sam basically confirm that the Dendrogram manga was coming in the Discord months ago? I think I remember reading that.

                                          Other than that, the Realist Hero and Exterminator manga both sound likely.

                                            @sniper_samurai The first could also be The faraway paladin, the artist is the same that did the Grimgar manga so the art isn't really good most of the time. And so characters design are quite strange.

                                            Do you like death, war and misery ?
                                            Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
