Willowspell said: Guys if you want to know the rest of the story (and think there won't be/don't want to wait for another season) the books are on amazon.jp and they're still coming out as of now!! Newest is book 16 published 25 July 2017 - Link below for anyone interested: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B074PT24TR/ref=series_rw_dp_sw If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know about it. Thank u very much. I'm wondering tho why there's no LN in MAL database. |

There is nothing for us lol. I constantly ask Seven Seas for it since they send out a survey every month for new licenses (follow them on social media if you're interested in participating)––but for now, we starve. |

Funny that non-christian Japanese people have more appreciation and write good stories with this kind of theme instead of actual people who's ancestors used to practice this religion up until 60 years ago. They could translate it, but few people would pay to read. |

The interest in localizing couldn't be anymore smaller, sadly. That's actually an interesting point. I think it might be because biases don't get in the way when a writer's not directly involved; it sure would be a lot less preachy, at least. |

No sexuality whatsoever involved.Thisss; coupled with the fact that the characters are bishounen, the demographic shrinks that much more. The interest in localizing couldn't be anymore smaller, sadly. It is unsettling that without explicit homoerotic scenery stories like that just don't sell. It's a miracle (pun intended) that a Japanese studio has adapted it into anime in the first place, if you ask me. ertiis said: Good writers can overcome biases, if you ask me. The last really good christian-themed animated media that was produced in the west is Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dam. Overwhelming christian imagery, but not preachy at all. Just a marvelous portrayal of the timeframe.That's actually an interesting point.

Do you know if the writers behind it have Christian backgrounds? |

They did a hell of a job, nonetheless.Do you know if the writers behind it have Christian backgrounds? I'll write to you in private, so as not to hijack this thread on top of what we already did. |
| So no translations of the LN? Not even fan-made? |
