Google Dictionary defines the word as a noun that means "a person who applies paint to pottery using a sponge" whereas the current Random House Dictionary defines it as "a person or boat engaged in gathering sponges." Both dictionaries, as well as the venerable Merriam-Webster also give meanings relating to "free-loading", "mooching", or "parasite".

Think I saw some scanlations of the manga some months ago. Glad they are doing a digital release too.

Hey, I began reading this one last week, I was actually bafled at finding a good Isekai series.

- It's a pretty good poilical drama.
- The reason the guy is summoned to the other world is actually quite logical.
- The main character is actually the wife, she is the one doing most things and has the most "Air time".
-The first chapters are not NSFW, they are trying to consieve after all.
- No harem (I hate that crap).
- The guy is actually quite smart and likeable and, even though his original plan was to lazy around, begins to get involved quite fast and help his wife.

I agree with this I been reading the manga ver and I'm wondering how come this doesn't have an anime yet ? its really good so far.

I think this might've actually been at the top of Narou's all-time rankings for a while, after Mahouka was removed. Definitely a difference from the formula for isekai stories the site later coalesced around.

It'd be neat to keep a master list of Narou stories available in English, and in what format. How many anime are we up to now, if we combine existing and upcoming ones? Wikipedia lists 15 -- no wait, the English page leaves out Overlord. 16 Narou anime. Shnikies.

(I didn't know Let Me Eat Your Pancreas was Narou... having trouble finding links to the original URL with the Wayback Machine, though. Can anyone help? I'm wondering if archive.is has the original chapter listing somewhere with post dates.)

Plus there's a bunch more that J-Novel Club and the like have licensed that don't have anime announced, not to mention an assortment of manga -- Mushoku Tensei's six volumes in over here, but the LN hasn't been licensed for some reason.
