Vote for J-Novel to translate the Gentle Noble novels!

Synopsis In the space of a blink, Prime Minister Lizel finds himself not in his office, but on a random street in an unfamiliar city. A look around quickly tells him that he is somewhere very far from home, and he’s going to need some assistance. Luckily, he runs into Gil, or “One Slash”, the strongest solo B-rank adventurer in the country, and they form a partnership that will last far longer than their initial one month contract. Gil guides Lizel on how to become an adventurer so that he can gain an ID and make a living in this new world while he waits for the people back home to find a way to get him back. Since there’s nothing Lizel himself can do, he decides to simply consider this a vacation and enjoy himself!

how does the manga compare to the original novels for Otherside Picnic? I'm debating looking up where to read the novels since I'm caught up with the manga

The way most people talk about Otherside Picnic adaptations is like this: the anime is mediocre, the manga is good, and the books are amazing. The manga is very good but it struggles to capture Sorawo’s internal monologue, which is the most fascinating part of it all. I could talk forever about how much Sorawo’s thoughts and limited perspective on everything are important to Otherside Picnic, but other people have said it better than me a hundred times. I have read all 8 books twice and I only learned about Otherside Picnic in summer of 2022. And I know I will be rereading them many times in the future. They’re so good I can’t begin to get across just how good they are. Again, the manga is very good, but it’s honestly more enjoyable to me after reading the books because I know what Sorawo is thinking the whole time

Late night shoujo posting...but last year,Yen Press announced a collaboration with J-Novel Club to bring some of their titles to print. I'd really like them to print Bibliophile Princess,Earl and Fairy and some other shoujo titles they have. Not sure if it'll happen,but let me dream please. Anyway,for now,it's just a waiting game.

Thoughts on J-Novel Translation of Slayers: The Long Way Home, Ch 4

And now, after 30 years, all of the light novels have been officially translated into English. This is incredible and a day I never thought I’d see. I am so grateful for J-Novel for taking on this project and all of the people who have supported them. Let’s hope they continue to translate Slayers works.

-And Lina casts a dragon slave. She mentions that a kingdom with a single sorcerer who can use the spell is not to be trifled with, which brings a lot of questions about how many people in the Inner World can cast it, or whether the more powerful kingdoms are in some sort of stalemate like modern countries with nuclear armaments are is hard to say.

-Gourry is as always attuned to her emotions.

-Church of Ceifeed seems to be popular in the Outer Lands, building on the idea that humans tend to worship the Dragon Lords.

-Opens up the possibility of Lina learning spells to summon the power of the Dragon Lords.

-Well, if Lina and Gourry do have a baby, I think the scene with naming Ran’s staff goes to show they would be of similar minds about naming it, lol.

-Damn, those dragons are frightening opponents. Those are some interesting visuals.

-And I just checked, no update on novel 18, and it is undecided when the short story for Dragon Magazine will be released.
