Why is Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka: Familia Chronicle Episode Ryu Vol.1 ranking now when MAL says it has been publishing since 2016?
The first manga volume also just came out. Thought it was really weird why the manga and the novel's first volumes would come out at the same time.

Maybe the first chapter was released at that time.

I guess the LN is being published online too? I thought MAL used volume releases for dates in those cases though.
Guess that at least explain how both manga and LN came out at the same time.

Other than that, glad to see Saenai Kanojo and DAL doing well.

It's the same as SAO Clover's Regret. Publishing since June but first volume came out November. I think a short chapter of Clover's Regret came out earlier in Dengeki Bunko Magazine and the whole volume was made later on. Could be the same. A chapter came out earlier and the whole volume was just published physically right now. Looking at the serialization, Gangan Online, the chapter may have been available online and it's counted as the start date.


>*9. *8,764 *,**8,764 Date A Live Fragments: Date A Bullet
Interesting that it's written by Higashide. I should probably hunt down the rest of the main series volume translations. I stopped at vol12 I think.

*2. 15,353 *,*15,353 Date A Live Vol.16'

*9. *8,764 *,**8,764 Date A Live Fragments: Date A Bullet

Hmm not bad for something that was released for just 1-2 days, since DAL vol. 16 and the spin-off was released on the 18th.

Although one of vol. 16's illustration is a blasphemy! I will not accept that Kotori design at all. T_T. I'm gonna take Kotori's ending on Rinne Utopia's design as my future headcannon from now on. My top 10 LN betrayal by the author right there. Yoshino looked good though.



Rinne Utopia's design looked much better than Vol. 16, because it fits Kotori perfectly (flat is justice!) :3 This is definitely the darkest timeline...

Wait a second is that familia chronicle episode ryuu the story of the "
justiciary organization" Astraea Familia?
If so I must get my hand on that one soon, I can't think of any gaiden from danmachi that would interest me as much as this story.

Did he planned to finish the main story ?

The author decided to ruin Kotori T_T the Rinne Utopia ending design was so much better, because that Kotori illustration just made her looked like Natsumi (another character in DAL) with a different hair color.
