Tbh didnt see the announcement back it july rly just noticed when the chapter dropped here in mdex lel and even if we saw it the chapter was probably already been worked on then so we normaly atleast try to finish up what ppl do so we dont waste their time/work.Well thanks for the chapter, and expected it to be dropped since it been your policy, though weird the notice about dropping it is in this chapter and not previous one given is been licensed since the start of July
Generally when JNC license something new, they license all the volumes available at the time the contract was signed. Once they catch up to that they license each new volume individually, which can lead to delays. (This is true for their LNs at least, not sure if the manga licensing is different.)J-novel can suck it, I have noticed they have licensed or "licensed" a bunch of manga and I bet they will drop most of them eventually. I don't know how big of a team they are, but translating that amount on a regular basis will be difficult I imagine :/
kinda proves you don't care if it was officially licensed or not. You only noticed because they put up a free chapter here.Tbh didnt see the announcement back it july rly just noticed when the chapter dropped here in mdex lel and even if we saw it the chapter was probably already been worked on then so we normaly atleast try to finish up what ppl do so we dont waste their time/work.
I mean not to be that guy, but that's also a legit way to translate that. This isn't egregious or anything.They are already changing names like Aruna to Alna.
It was J-Novel Club that picked it up, they only do e-books so you should be able to keep reading regardless, you'll just have to pay to access on their site.fuck sake, another one. Hate when this shit happens. Not everyone has access to buy the localized versions, plus the inevitable changes to the translation bc these people don't fucking care, they don't come close to having the same level of care with the series as fan scanlators, since they're just doing it for the money and numbers. Not to mention the chance of it getting the ''Modern audience'' treatment, where they needlessly change shit to fit a political narrative (like Seven Seas/Crunchyroll/American ''localizers'' fucking love to to, be it anime, manga, novels or even games). I really should start getting more in-depth japanese knowledge beyond just katakana/hiragana basics so I can read straight from the raws
Thanks for all the work you've done with this series nonetheless
They are known to drop series even if they do have translators available because they suck at securing and renewing the licensing, as happened with the Tokyo Ravens LN and several others. Worse still, they wipe out what they had of the series once their license expires, while fan translators seem to never return to those series.J-novel can suck it, I have noticed they have licensed or "licensed" a bunch of manga and I bet they will drop most of them eventually.

As you can probably gather from the above points, I'm kind of happy when a good series gets licensed, but it isn't always a good thing. On top of those issues with J-Novel Club, licensing companies like to localise rather than translate which means the official translation can end up being almost a completely different product from the original we enjoyed.Thank you for all the works so far.
I really like this manga.
I'm very sad it is dropped but I'm also happy it gets licensed.
They never had Tokyo Ravens, that one's never been licensed by others either. And what are those others you mention? I know they've dropped at least one manga( Discommunication) but I'm not aware of any novels.They are known to drop series even if they do have translators available because they suck at securing and renewing the licensing, as happened with the Tokyo Ravens LN and several others.
Lel don't need to get so mad chill and we would have noticed sooner or later either way result would be the same and ye we don't exactly check every day every publisher site etc what manga they license "months ago" implying as if we worked on it while it's been released for half year while barely a month passed^^ So yeh guess sorry for not being 24/7 in the manga world and be up to date with everything :/kinda proves you don't care if it was officially licensed or not. You only noticed because they put up a free chapter here.
If you did you would have kept an eye on it and backed off months ago instead of just now.
