I'm a Behemoth, an S-Ranked Monster, by Yen, anyone know what happened to it?
-
It can't be found on Yen's site anymore(at least I didn't spot it). Other than that seems only volume 1 can be found on amazon(and only through google search). On the other hand, volume 2 (latest English/Japanese) seems to have really disappeared off the face of the Earth.
What's really troubling, I can't find the novel version on Japanese retailers either (bookwalker, amazon jp)?
But the manga is still going swell (ongoing, 6 English volumes/9 Japanese volumes) and story goes well beyond the two novel volumes.
It was a long time since I read it and decided to check where it was, only to come out with more questions...

It only got 2 volumes, but it got unpublished by the JP publisher, thought to be connected to this incident regarding the author's other novel: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-02-25/light-novel-about-sex-slave-cancelled-after-author-heated-tweets-against-illustrator/.143852

Yen is still publishing the manga.
If you search Yen's site, there seems to be no mention of the LN...unless you pull up the series entry for the manga, which shows a link to the LN...the link results in a 404.Given that I purchased the Yen LNs via Kobo in late 2020, if the depublication ties in with what @GeorgeMTO linked they were really slow in taking action.
The presumption has to be that the author sufficiently ticked off the Japanese publisher that they yanked the LN.
And that the Japanese publisher for the manga didn't feel it was that bad, as they kept going.
