KeG (Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu) was in charge of the illustrations for volumes ten and eleven, and Akira Banpai took over as the illustrator starting volume 12. The 21st volume we released in September 2022, and the 22nd volume is scheduled to be released on November 20. The story has a cumulative 2.5 million copies of its volumes in circulation.

Yoshiyuki Miwa began drawing a manga adaptation in AlphaPolis Web Manga magazine in November 2014. The 13th volume went on sale on February 24.

One Peace licensed the manga in English in March 2020 and published the 11th volume on February 10, while the 12th volume is scheduled for a February 2024 release. AlphaPolis is also publishing the manga on its Alpha Manga app and website.

@Ragon_Qc What is the most common hair colour in Japan?

@MisatoChise the character art is already off too, so you can tell this won't be as dark and gritty as what is portrayed in the novel and manga. It's a shame, 9/10 isekai gotta keep going for that SAO style of art and color tones.

Just read this... Holy sh*t we finally have New Gate adaptation!!!! There're so many isekai titles newer than The New Gate that already adapted, but there's still no any news about New Gate adaptation, I started to lose hope. It finally happened!!!

To be frank, New Gate is not special (in today's standard). It is a power isekai in every sense. The MC was isekai'd already as, practically, one of the (if not THE) most powerful being in the world.

. The characters and plot aren't really that special either.... especially now that we already had so many similar isekai adaptations already. TBH, The New Gate had waited for a very long time to get an adaptation. TOO LONG in fact, that it is sadly no longer as special as it's once was...

Well, at least we'll get to see waifu Schnee got animated! I'm also curious how far will the anime adapt the LN for this.... I predict, at most we'll be only covering as far as the ninetales-arc (prediction for 24 EP season 1, will be less if only 12 EP instead). That's the most sensible end point for season 1. Further than that would be more appropriately addressed in season 2 instead.

Finally this gets an anime.

@Infatuate Check out the seasonal show schedule for the last 3-4 years of the '10s. Each season would have more than 3-4 generic CGDCT because the trend was so strong that the producers had to literally adapt any manga that had at least a few volumes.

@RobertBobert I guess back then I was naive enough to not notice it.

Nov 11, 2023 5:51 PM by Infatuate

Been years since I seen this name. Hope it gets a good adaption!

Nov 10, 2023 7:44 AM by Stardew

@RobertBobert Exactly.

@Infatuate Before that there was SHIT CGDCT, even before that SHIT HAREMS, somewhere before that SHIT MECHAS, and so on until the Astroboy. People pretend that it's only now that there's milking of popular genres, but it's always been there. People simply ignored this or that era because of their tastes. For example, you have Kuroneko on userpic and I still remember the times when Oreimo and imouto rom-coms were called "proof of the death of industries". I wouldn't be surprised if when the isekai trend ends and something else overly popular starts, people will consider isekai shows a classic and pointedly remember the 10-20s with nostalgia, lol.

Big reason why anime is dead to me, just how pathetic can these get? Creatively bankrupt young japanese writers please stop with the SHIT ISEKAI.

Nov 9, 2023 2:10 PM by EcchiGodMamster

@EcchiGodMamster I'll give it a credit for NOT having entire premise in the title alone.
