      All September, enjoy these oldies but goodies from both light novel history and J-Novel Club history!

      There is a boy being raised by undead. How did he get there? Why are there no other humans? Why are these undead raising him? Find out in the fan-favorite The Faraway Paladin! We're also publishing the manga!

      On the lighter side, when a high-school boy gets summoned to fight the demon lord, his ability is... to make a bath anywhere he wants? Mixed Bathing in Another Dimension follows Toya as he tries to find a way to contribute to the fight... and also a way to bathe with lots of girls! And we'll be starting a new volume this month!

      A classic series animated first in 2002 and as recently as 2018, Full Metal Panic! is a hodge-podge of action, military, sci-fi, drama, comedy, and high school shenanigans! Look for the 3-book limited-edition omnibus in print in early 2020!

      Another series with an old anime, Crest of the Stars features a human diplomat and an alien princess-cum-pilot as they travel the stars. Check out this classic space opera, also coming to print as a limited-edition omnibus in 2020!

      New prepub volumes launched in September:

      • Infinite Stratos Vol. 10
      • Cooking with Wild Game Vol .5
      • Amagi Brilliant Park Vol. 8
      • The Combat Baker and the Automaton Waitress Vol. 2
      • Mixed Bathing in Another Dimension Vol. 6
      • Record of Wortenia War Vol. 3
      • The Master of Ragnarok Vol. 10
      • Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 2 Vol. 1
      • Der Werwolf Vol. 6
      • Otherside Picnic Vol. 2
      • How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord Vol. 11
      • Altina the Sword Princess Vol. 1

      e-Book release schedule for September:

      • Now Available!
        • Infinite Stratos Vol. 9
        • Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 1 Vol. 3
        • Full Metal Panic! Vol. 3
        • How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord Vol. 10
        • Cooking with Wild Game Vol. 4
        • The Combat Baker and the Automaton Waitress Vol. 1
        • Amagi Brilliant Park Vol. 7
        • The Master of Ragnarok Vol. 9
        • Record of Wortenia War Vol. 2
        • Otherside Picnic Vol. 1
        • Invaders of the Rokujouma Vols. 23-25

      Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

        Great, looks like I'll finally give Mixed Bathing a try.

          Yay! I've been wanting to try Faraway Paladin. If I have time I might check out Mixed Bathing, since I hear it's good even if the description is dubious. Already caught up with and following the other two. I like Crest of the Stars a lot but am lukewarm on Full Metal Panic so far.

          License Wishlist: Kino's Journey, Crest/Banner anthology, SukaMoka
          Favorite JNC Series (tried): Bookworm, Faraway Paladin, Infinite Dendrogram, Grimgar, Crest/Banner of the Stars, Der Werwolf, The Skull Dragon's Precious Daughter, Apothecary Diaries

            @myskaros said in September 2019 catchups!:

            And we'll be starting a new volume this month!

            Best thing I can get out of this.

              I think I'll give FMP a second chance. I was in the middle of volume 2 when I stopped. The rest I'm already caught up with or waiting for the next volume on.

              If only we had news on a new volume of The Faraway Paladin. We've had miracles happen recently for other series, I hope one day we'll have one for this great series too.

                @hyperion You can't have miracle when the author shot himself in the foot and don't know what to write.

                    There is no official release date as of yet.

                    Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

                          @legitpancake oh thank goodness. My Japanese language vol came in and I wanted to test my skills!
