Hello hello!

So I have a favorite book series I love called Nightrunner by Lynn Flewelling and at one point was able to see that there is a manga series, and I think it's for the Nightrunner books? If translate is correct.

When searching I do get the page on Amazon.co.jp but I'm struggling to get information on what this series is actually called or how to find it. And I am assuming this means it's only in Japanese and Chinese (a translator is listed and I am assuming it's Chinese). D:

So if anyone can possibly help me? Maybe I'm being oblivious.

The book titles (in english, translated best I can tell) are:
Guardians of Darkness 1 - Night Runner I
Guardians of Darkness 2 - Night Runner I
Guardians of Darkness 3 - Night Runner I
Light Hunters 1 - Night Runner II
Light Hunters 2 - Night Runner II
Light Hunters 3 - Night Runner II
Moon's Rebels 1 - Night Runner III
Moon's Rebels 2 - Night Runner III
Moon's Rebels 3 - Night Runner III

Authors/Creators involved:
Nana Hamana (Author?)
Lynn Flewelling (Author)
浜名 那奈 (translations)
リン フルエリン (artist?)

The list of the manga in question: ナイトランナー

Hello! These books are apparently the Japanese translation of the Nightrunner books, with additional illustrations by Japanese illustrator Yuki Kairi (由貴海里)

They're marketed as light novels on Bookwalker, you can check every listed book from the series in this link:

It seems that you are making a very big misunderstanding. There is no manga version, not even in Japanese.
In other words, a manga adaptation simply does not exist.

Even though the covers of the novels are illustrated, the contents are just normal prose novels.
C Novels, as a publisher, sometimes uses manga artists for cover illustrations, so overseas readers sometimes judge the work only by the cover and mistakenly think it is a manga, like you did.

Because of that, if you search using a “manga title,” you won’t find anything—since there is no such work.
Even if something does show up, if you look closely, it should clearly be labeled as a novel.
