tr25a3 said: Does anyone know why there are two adaptions of the same light novel? The Light Novel is owned by Shufunotomo. Both Square Enix and Shogakukan became interested in the story to adapt it into Manga, and they got the rights, but not the exclusivity of it. So there is 2 versions, each owned by a different company. This one is Shogakukan's, and the other one is Square Enix's. tr25a3 said: Should I read both or is one version better than the other? Pretty much everyone prefer the version of Square Enix, mainly for the artstyle, which is simply better. Aside of that, it focus more on the interactions between the characters, and add original content as such. Shogakukan's version has a way slower pace, and is generally said to be more faithful to the Novel. Shogakukan's version has more Volumes released (19 vs 14), but is behind in English fan-translations, as it was dropped by the teams back in 2022, as no one was really interested in it. Square Enix's version is also officially licensed in English, so you can get it in physical, too. |
