How a Realist Kingdom Rebuilt the Kingdom Vol 6

[alocervancouver]

Bear in mind that the translator also happens to be the Goblin Slayer translator for Yen Press, so he's quite occupied with projects. That, and there's always the rights to negotiate...

@alocervancouver
Is Goblin Slayer volume 5 even being translated at the moment? YP doesn't even have a release date scheduled as far as I know.

[alocervancouver]

@aruseus493 Yeah, I thought I saw the notice for 5 (on the same schedule as Youjo Senki), but it's now gone. I guess it did not sell enough...what a pity. Kevin Steinbach is also the manga translator as well, and it's still ongoing.

@aruseus493

Realist Hero translator listed as Sean McCann
Goblin Slayer translator listed as Kevin Steinbach

Are they the same person?

@alocervancouver

You would think with an anime announced they would keep with it.

[Aruseus493]

@catstorm
Yen Press is all sorts of weird. Gotta remember that they delay No Game No Life so much that we only get one volume a year at this point.

[alocervancouver]

@rahul-balaggan Oh, oops. I thought Kevin was the translator for that series.

[Sam Pinansky]

@alocervancouver Kevin does Outbreak company for us (and bluesteel blasphemer, but that's finished).

@hansolo1300 Unlikely that the license holders allow a release of even a part of their work before it is availabel in their home market.

[Paul Nebeling]

@saskir Volume 1 of Arifureta Zero was simultaneously published here and in Japan.

[Rahul Balaggan]

@paul-nebeling yeah but simultaneous publication is different from early access, it’s same day VS someone else gets it first and I agree the publisher wouldn’t like early distribution before japan.

@rahul-balaggan Never mind the publisher, I'm thinking that the fans would be more upset.

[Paul Nebeling]

@eduardo-straub Wasn't it supposed to be released in Japan yesterday?

[Eduardo Straub]

@paul-nebeling actually I get those illustrations were in another forum and that was 2 days ago. Normally the illustrations are leak before the release.

[Sam Pinansky]

Translator has started, don't worry! We haven't decided whether to launch this week or next yet.

[Sanriel]

please be this week

[mokonaw]

@sam-pinansky I'm not in hurry here, one or two more days won't make much difference so take your time :-)

Thanks for the work
