Potential anime adaptation in the future? :o

Most series licensed by Yen Press seems to get that in recent years.

Huh, well it was always more popular in the west than in Japan so I guess it's not that surprising

Unfortunately this likely means that the fantranslation will be taken down before long so you better save it while you can

I'm not sure if I should be happy or worried. I can't see it adaptated in a good way, and if it really will happen one day then the last thing I want to imagine is it being totally awful.
I didn't even think of any publisher to pick this novel up so this is already a surprise. This definitely needs more popularity in the west than it has now. :P
I'm feeling thank you

If you plan on reading it but don't want to wait for the official translation, the fan translation is great. It will likely get DMCA'd (Meaning that it won't be available for reading) so you should download the web page if you want. It's really easy on Google Chrome.

Hopefully the translation is done well. Though they may not start releasing it until 2018 since YP took quite a while to release the first volume of Oregairu after it was announced.

Crossing fingers for a possible 3-cour anime adaptation :3

Yen Press says that the first volume is slated for Fall 2017, so just shy of one year away. (From their twitter)

This basically confirms a anime adaption is coming. The only studio I can see doing it right is Shaft.

Agreed, EusthEnoptEron did a great job with the translations, so hopefully Yen Press translates it well too.

When hints are there, diviners cannot get wrong. Anyway, 2018 will have the original Hakomari published that is great (2017 too but I think it will be out at the end of the year so...)

To all publishers planning to expand to an international market! Why don't you have a little chat with an international celebrity like me! Well, let's not talk about national sales, though...


I'm really looking forward to their translation. That being said, I'm also afraid of all the mistranslations on my part that are going to come to light. ┐(´д`)┌

This pickup could very well have never happened without you, you did something right for this to be as big as it is now -- I'm sure Mikage-sensei is thankful for that just as the rest of us are.

Mikage sensei tweeted about it, he's really happy (it seems that the novel is way more popular here than in Japan).
Well, a big thanks to Bakatsuki, we're happy, sensei is happy and because it's licensed, it has 50% chances of getting an anime adaption, so yay!
