NEWS: Seven Seas Licenses Zero's Familiar Chevalier Fantasy Sequel Manga

I heard the ZnT manga is even worse than the Index manga when it comes to adaptation quality. No clue if that applies to this sequel manga though.

They have been getting a lot of manga of lately but still waiting for them to get the Index manga but would be awesome if they would get the light novels

funny you mention that, digging around on amazon it seems that there was a English released planned for familiar of zero light novels. I don't know what happened but it seemed that 7 seas was going to publish them here.

Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, Seven Seas had planned to release a bunch of different light novels in the US. However, they abruptly canned/cancelled that plan due to poor sales. Zero no Tsukaima was one of those in the queue and later scrapped. This was also the reason for the delay of Strawberry Panic!'s final novel, which was only released in the omnibus novel..

thanks for making that clear... I was wondering why it was listed.

Heh... My 4 Aug '08 order with TRSI included Ballad of a Shinigami Novel 3, Kanokon Novel 1, Pitaten Novel 3, Strawberry Panic Novel 3, Zero's Familiar Novel 1 (which were all cancelled by Seven Seas), and a few other books. My notes also show a 2nd Zero's Familiar novel listed for a 31 Dec '08 release.

When a translated manga's actually based upon a novel, I don't usually buy it, since I'd rather have the original source. Most of the time, I am more than willing to watch and buy animated adaptations of novels. I guess that I just feel that if I'm going to have printed material, it might as well be the original.
