This sounds pretty good I'll need to pick up a copy.

Amazon is only showing a Kindle version; is this a digital only release?

Yes, all of J-Novel Club's releases are only e-books right now. Seven Seas is going to release physical copies of some of them later; right now their site only lists Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash and Occultic;Nine.

Yes. This particular title (which already has the second volume up for purchase) is also available on Kobo and Nook if you get it through J-Novel Club's own site. Those who become members there can, aside being able to stream the pre-release parts, use site credits to get a higher-quality drm-free epub of any of the released titles. |

The e-book only status is a shame. I'm having enough problems trying to read manga that way. I can't imagine reading an entire novel on a computer screen.

Honeyview for manga, supports even 7zip archives. And Calibre for ebooks. Both are free and make reading easy, well on PC at least. |

If you get a kindle or other e-ink reader the experience isn't much different from paper. It's not as good for manga but for text it works well. |

or a cheap androir tablet , that while not having as good of a battery life as an ereader, it's also good for manga.

My wife swears by reading off her iPod. She started that when she was traveling through Africa for months and wanted to have a simple collection of easily accessible books. I thought that was crazy with how few words you have on a single iPod "page" but I tried it and I've never looked back. While it's hard to beat reading off a real book during the day, nighttime reading is much easier off a device. And of course the shear convenience of hundreds of books on a device is hard to beat. |

I'm a subscriber and find this series just a lot of fun. I also feel it gets better as it goes along and the currently running third volume is the best so far with some surprisingly interesting world building at the front of the novel.

The screen on a 7 or 8 inch tablet is pretty close to the same size as a paperback. American comics can be a pain because they're designed for larger page sizes, but if you use the Comixology app, most titles allow you to view one frame at a time. |

Wow, I wasn't expecting so many responses to my grumble.
@Blanchimont It hadn't occurred to me that I would have any trouble getting the book to a computer screen. My problem would be sitting there for a couple of hours at a time reading it. @samuelp You do offer a computer friendly format of your books I hope. That would have to be my starting point. The purchase of a Kindle or other e-reader is a fairly steep barrier to picking up a book I might like. I'm definitely in the market for Japanese novels, I have in excess of a 150 in paperback or hardback format. @ScruffyKiwi I realize that an e-reader of some sort would be very helpful if one travels. However, I'm retired and don't travel. My reading is done on the couch across the room from the computer. I don't have a smart phone or any of the other recommended devices for the same reason. |

Any of the stores where we sell our ebooks (Amazon, Nook, iBooks, Kobo) have apps and pc readers to read their ebooks on: none of them are locked to a specific piece of hardware only. Plus, if you are a premium member you can get credits to download Epub versions straight from our site which are yours to do with as you please. |

i will definitely check the series out if there is a manga or anime adaptation . and if it indeed go down the incest route and have the two siblings as a couple, hopefully those two siblings' ending will be somewhat similar to yosuga no sora or koi kaze and dont go down the oreimo route. |
