Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja - Vol. 16 Ch. 97 - Since Then and From Now On

[egg-kun]

definitely axed and told everyone to "just read the novel if you want to know." typa shit

Came here to see if I should read this or not, is it worth it?

 

[Sandmann1st]

goddamn 10 years and the end just says read the light novel thanks to everyone translating this over the decade

 

[hythae]

is there no word about being adopted into a new publisher? massive shame it has to end when the initial goal of finding everyone isnt even halfway through. honestly would have preferred if they cut out larger chunks of the source to get further in the story.

but it was a pleasant read regardless. definitely enjoyed the visuals in the manga. had to stop reading the novel since it got so slow... perhaps ill give it another try now.

Seems like a flash forward for the end, since in the novel it takes another arc or two just to find the next two, and I don't know like three of them.

Does the novel still end with the MC staying a little girl? because while i accept the ending and it was a nice story while it lasted... i had hoped they had regained their original body

 

[APNk]

There are still two spin offs that aren't translated

[Hiibiki]

Wait when tf did all the other sages get found am I just stupid

No they didn't..
It's just a fan service, to axed the manga.
In novel, after this arc is the arc of the Demon Kin

The novel is still running, not ending yet, the next arc is the Demon race arc.
Also, no, not yet. If Mira want to turn her avatar to look like Dunbulf again, she need the cash Item. In which as you knew can't be transferred. And the cash shop is unusable too

 

[Xelarion]

The Axe has been waiting ever since the pace picked up and started throwing things into "we have a lot of text per chapter" overdrive...

I thank you for finishing this series, and regret that I expected this Axe a lot sooner...

Happens when you adapt a still ongoing LN and it keeps going for 10+ years. Either you pick a stopping point or do the Bookworm path of having multiple adaptations that work on different parts at the same time.

Thanks for the work.

 

[C4l]

What a wild, wacky, and disjointed romp this was! Was it fun? Yes. Was it good? Eeeehhhhhh

All the same, thank you very much for the series!

 

[abas416]

Read this from chap 1, when i was a highschool 3rd. And now, the manga end. Really like it but stop at around 40 cause the update take long so i though it being licensed in english. Suddenly updated and searching the missing chap and here i though it will last past 100 or maybe 150+. Well thanks for the translation

 

[Draconix81]

Wait wtf I didn’t expect it to get axed…. Thanks for translating the ending at least. Kind of bittersweet to see it end after so long and for it to end so abruptly

Was the manga not selling well in JP does anyone know? And I guess if anyone also knows if the LN is selling well?

 

[1234muse]

10 years.
for fucks sake. I can't say that I want to return to the LN if it doesn't have her getting older either. I'm so done with loli shit.

 

[monkey123]

End already? Did they fuck at least?

 

[qwsfdgh]

As an aside, does anyone think the colored art on Page 1 gives her a way older design than normal? That's clearly not her usual loli form.

I would guess they decided that as it's gone on for a decade they might as well age Mira up a decade even though all the players are now ageless.

LN volume 24 released 2 weeks ago. It's been 12 years since first volume. It won't die soon.
Idk why the manga stopped here either, it's been 9 years with 16 volumes and still barely touch the whole cast, but I guess it felt way too behind the novel that it's not feasible to continue or else it'll take another 30 years to catch up.

 

[Nightwave]

damn, I kind of get of those LN advertisement if it still around 30 chapters, but we already get this far for 10 years already, why did they decided to stop now

 

[Hermann]

Wait... What?!

WTF?!!?

 

[Tomzai]

Well, at least it wrapped up at a end of and arc.
Still, 10 years huh?

Short answer: money
Long answer: nobody has money
