Sadly I lost contact with MPT the one who want to translate and Setsuna still wont start it until his other project finished.

Cannot find cover for vol 18 but for those who are interest this is illustration on vol 17(dunno if it is SE cover or just color illustration).

Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

It's still (one of) the best selling Light Novel of an anime series in 2016.


Hmm, let's see... Otherwise I'd not mind for a 2nd season, because we need more Rem-chan and Emilia-tan...xD

Re:Zero's sales are 10 times their pre-anime levels.

And no idea what the record for most weeks at rank 1 is. It's not something I keep track of. Especially as there are volumes that have taken the rank 1 spot years after release.

Well if you look at the production committee and how the respective companies are ranked you see that the light novels are merely a part ( a big one tho ) of what warrants or doesn't warrant a sequel. Volume 9 isn't even out for a month yet but it still reaches good weekly sales. On top of that it's the first volume to survive without a direct advertisement. Not only that but majority of volume 9's content is something people have seen in the anime. Volume 10 is when the light novel series as a whole will be put under the test :)

Congratz for Kimi no na wa passing 1 million copies finally :)

New Danmachi volume came out. It should pass over 100k eventually. I guess if there will be second season for the anime, it was very entertaining, tho i still need to catch up with novel...

Actually this is second installment for Izaya novel series. It's called "Standing Ovation with Orihara Izaya"

Yes, It would be nice if this novel got licensed by Yen Press too.
