YES

Finally, I have been waiting years for this manga to be adapted into an Anime i was worried it will never get one.

Trust me unlike most isekai, this one has a very good story development and world building. if i had to summarize it, It is SAO as it should of have been. Actually written, Actual developed romance and a deep sense of story integrity.

Let's Go.

Allow me to be THAT one person, but no offense: if this LN is *that* good, should've it been much more popular (i.e. higher visibility on social media) and adapted into anime way sooner.... no? Confused

On one hand, to be fair, how fast the adaptation came out is not an indicator. Apothecary Diaries is like 6th best selling LN and it only got adaptation recently. And some other popular LNs never got one at all (I still remember how much hype were about Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria, for example).

But on the other hand isekai fans say it every damn time: "This title is was better than all that trash you seen before, it has X, Y and Z". But the result is yet another generic story.

Allow me to explain.

The story is very good but cause it is good and takes it's time to develop it is extremly slow. So much that it has been running for a long time.

Also as said, you can have a series run for a long time before it gets an anime, all the better as it gives the anime more time to catch up and adapt it all. no one wants rushed and filler filled adaptations anymore Smile

It's finally happening ?! Wow, one the few remaining one in my "favorites LN which have yet to be animated" list, been a reader for years and still love it as much as the first day. Maybe i should keep hoping for OSO and some others long runner from the first half of 201X.

The manga is fun. I wish the novels were available in English but unfortunately Alphapolis doesn’t internationally license their novels Sad

So SAO Progressive? Which is basically just SAO that isn't restricted to contest requirements like the original Aincrad story was.

Kazanami began serializing the original story on the "Shōsetsuka ni Narō" (Let's Become Novelists) website in 2013.


I'm not sure this is right. It's what the Japanese Wikipedia page says, but from a Twitter search, it seems its original story ID was n5711bb. Checking other stories with nearby IDs suggests a debut date of 11 February 2012.

It's published by Alphapolis which IIRC has only in the past few years started letting their works get made into anime. For years they also resisted having any of their works be licensed to foreign markets, until just two years ago when they finally relented and created the AlphaManga service, which carries the manga adaptations of all their novels. As far as I know (and I could be wrong), they still don't let the novels themselves get licensed.

In another words, they're dinosaurs.

As a huge SAO fan, this has totally sold me on it!

HakoMari's not a good example as it was only ever popular with people who read fan translations. It was barely a blip in Japan, and from what I've heard the official English edition didn't do much better.

One of the better isekai LNs and inoffensive (there aren´t even spin-offs!) but this took way longer than anyone should have expected. I won´t tune it but a flat C candidate it almost an achievement at this point.

Only the manga but not the LNs are licensed in English? Huh? I bet that full-on audiobooks will come if the anime finds a market. Isekai LNs are even starting the become a crowd in the still very small English language LN audiobook market.
