Think they are going to release 10 omnibus volumes for the 33 volumes they released which will be the entire series in physical form.

I'd back it but I don't know why it seems like an odd/niche title to kickstart a physical release. But I guess that how it goes.

Ah, so are the original LNs for this series extremely short? Like 100-150 pages each or something? Laughing

I'll look at backing this. Liked the anime (though I honestly don't remember a heap about it), and I've always said that I'd get physical versions of some of J-Novel's digital only stuff.

Have seen mention of potential other goodies as part of the Kickstarter:
Quote:
As part of the 10th anniversary for the series, Sam is gonna run a Kickstarter for printing volumes 1-31 as 3-in-1 Omnibuses plus an additional Art Book.

The Kickstarter Goal is going to be roughly $50k with Tiers estimated to go from $20 to $5k. One potential stretch goal is for Limited Edition Boxes. Another are the Drama CDs.

Don't know what the source of the extras, but that post looks to be a couple of months old now.

Wonder if the Drama CDs will mean they'll be making new ones? I'd personally find it strange to get a Drama CD in Japanese Laughing

Either way, lowest tier I'd go for would be all the volumes plus the art book.
