I remember watching the anime adaptation of Shinsekai Yori and loving it. Now several months later I'm still at awe at how good it was so I want to read the novel, but the problem is I can't find it anywhere. Even on the internet I can't find places that sell it except from some site I can't open. Is the novel translated? And is it available anywhere in Europe? I can get the manga if I wanted but I'd rather refrain from that because I heard it's rather, euh, different.

Maybe because SY doesn't have a novel but a manga. And it sucks. Just fanservice.

The anime was based on a novel... a REAL novel. No LN bullshit.

That's the site I can't open so no luck there. I'd rather buy a version on actual paper anyway.

The original story was a novel written by Yusuke Kishi and was later adapted into a manga and an anime. Just look at the anime page

I can download it and send it to you if you want. Can you reach the PDF?

http://shinsekai.cadet-nine.org/wp-content/uploads/SSY-complete.pdf

But there is no official translations. You can always print the PDF.

You can buy the japanese version on those sites though. (and probably japanese Amazon or bookstores too, but didn't bother looking for that)

I could do that indeed but maybe when my Japanese is good enough to actually read such a novel. It's still a bit too basic at this point. And printing the PDF seems a bit too expensive to me, not to even mention trying to explain this to my parents.

Well you could go to a copy center? It'd end up being like ~€20 though, true enough. The PDF is your only alternative at the moment though I think. Unless there is a French or Italian translation? But that seems unlikely as I haven't found any. Novels that have manga adaptations don't very often get translations sadly. (unless they're light novels)
