How a Realist Kingdom Rebuilt the Kingdom Vol 6

[Sanriel]

Someone know when the next volume of this series will begin to be translated?

[Rahul Balaggan]

@sanriel volume 6 doesn’t come out in japan until the 25th of this month.

So give it 2 weeks after the 25th at the earliest or if the translator has moved to a different project it could take longer. (That what happened with Occultic Nine)

There is always a small possibility they could do a simulation publication but only time will tell

[LegitPancake]

Lol what's there to translate if it hasn't even come out yet?

[hansolo1300]

Well vol. 5 started here 2 weeks before it was released in Japan so it's not impossible.

@hansolo1300
Even if they started translating, I don't think they can release until it's at least out in Japan.

[hansolo1300]

It wasn't like they were publishing the full volume it was just a couple parts. I was just saying that it's possible to release a part before the volume is released in Japan.

[Rahul Balaggan]

@hansolo1300 Volume 5 of Realist Hero was released in Japan on 10/25/17 source: Japan Amazon Link

Part 1of Volume 5was put up on the site on 11/8/17 Source: Realist Hero V5 new forum topic thread, started by Sam

[hansolo1300]

Oh it was originally slated to be released in November or that's what Amazon showed at one point maybe they made an error or I misread when I looked. Hmm

[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...

[Aruseus493]

@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.

[Rahul Balaggan]

@aruseus493

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

Are they the same person?

[catstorm]

@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).

[saskir]

@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.
