Ascendance of a Bookworm - Part 3 - Volume 05

I knew it was coming but it still got me.


Reincarnated as a Sword - Volume 03 - ~~Chapter 1-3~~ Now complete

I am enjoying Volume 3 more than I did 1 and 2, I think it is because it’s got less drawn out fights. Fran making friends is the highlight so far.

Some quotes:

Bath Time With A Sword

Reincarnated as a Sword - Vol.03 - Chapter 1

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Even though I am currently a sword, I was still a man in my past life. Taking a bath with Fran would be the height of indecency.

Aah, but I’m her guardian, you see. I’m well within my rights. Besides, I’m a sword! I can’t have sex even if I wanted to!


Didn’t I say to make my abilities average - Volume 19

I didn’t get to read it… No digital release!

Nanos, please find a copy, transcribe it and send me an epub.

When you first realise there’s no digital release

When you have accepted it


Side Note -

Has anyone read Kikis Delivery Service?

I watched it after a few years this weekend and realised there is a book series. The first book has been translated to English, but the others haven’t.

Looking online it seems it’s often recommended for learning Japanese but I can only find French copies.

Most elegant time-skip ever. Usually, they aren't interwoven into the story itself.

Due to licensing or platform-specific content restrictions, not all books are available digitally.

I haven't seen that one before. Usually it's the other way around.

Has anyone read Kikis Delivery Service?

Years and years ago. To my knowledge the other volumes have never been translated (at least not officially). The first book has the plot of the movie, so the other volumes would be new content.

Looks like only volume 1 was translated to English. I will stick the French or Japanese ones through machine translate when I get round to reading them.

The first book has the plot of the movie, so the other volumes would be new content.

Looking though the reviews the film is not a very true depiction of the book, so it may be all new content.
