Sekaimo Status Update

Although there was an unexpected delay, the first volume of Sekaimo arrived today. All the illustrations, both colour and B&W, have been scanned. Thus, here's an early warning: There are dark borders due to paper bending. And I have zero skills in digital editing to remedy this.

Then why not unbind them for deliciously flat scans? I'm sorry, readers. I'm afraid I can't afford to do that.

On the upside, the translation is finally in progress. So please sit back and wait a little longer for the first release!

    1. It'll be released by subparts... for now.

      A full volume batch of 342 pages would certainly be nice, though.

  8. Hi, I have a few question regarding this novel: (Sekaimo)

    1) Is the original novel written in Korean? and then the japanese publisher translated the korean novel into japanese?

    2) What is the japanese and chinese name of the novel? if there is any?

  9. Hello, in response to your questions:

    1. Sekaimo is a Korean light novel that is only available in Korean. There is no Japanese version of the novel.

    2. It's unofficial Japanese title is "Sekai Ichi no Imouto-sama (世界の妹様)".

    2. Thanks for the update.

      When you say PO, do you mean page, or part?

  11. Hope they're posting in parts, and not in entire volumes.

    That would be painful to wait for.

  12. Heyo! What does QC stand for? It seems like ch1po1-3 are all at that stage

  13. QC stands for "Quality Control". It means the file is in finalization by our editor Sumeragi.

    1. It really is a great light novel...when read in Korean...in a wtfbbqsauce kind of way.

      And yeah, the artwork is also great. Nyanya's art style has come a long way, looking back at his/her illustrations in Mistique. Now it's somewhat akin to those of YoungIn, another Korean illustrator. But to be honest, Nyanya's B&W illustrations leaves a lot to be desired.

      Anyway, hopefully, the first chapter will be released before May...
