Successful light novel and anime adaptations

Reason(s) for nominating: I’ve read the first 3 LNs and watched the anime, and it’s a pretty wholesome, original, and well-written fantasy story. The 2 leads are adorable, the plot twists are creative, and despite nominally being an isekai, it doesn’t feel like one at all, b/c you meet the characters long after the 転生 has occurred - so it’s mostly a background detail. The author mentioned some large changes between the 2 versions, in the afterword for vol 3. So it got me curious

feel free to already nominate
since the club is informal technically speaking there’s no issue accepting nominations whenever we want as long as it’s not while we vote

Yup - I’ve just had plenty of other stuff occupying my time… so not even sure what I was thinking of adding at this point :sweat_smile: Except maybe 『人斬り』少女、公爵令嬢の護衛になる, which I can make a post for in a sec

Not to make things complicated, but is anyone else planning to read クラスで2番目? My reading plate is rather full right now, so if I’m the only one, I’m probably going to put it off for a bit … in which case, maybe starting 金色の文字使い might be a better idea… Of course, feel free to just stick to the schedule regardless

Title: 『人斬り』少女、公爵令嬢の護衛になる
Platform: kakuyomu
Current length: 153 Chapters, Ongoing

Short Synopsis

シュリネ・ハザクラは『ある人』を守るために育てられ――その役目が果たされることはなかった。
護衛の任務に就く当日、その人物は暗殺され、全ての罪はシュリネに擦り付けられたのだ。
彼女に残されたのは、ただ人を守るために磨かれた剣術と、人斬りの汚名。ならば、本物の『人斬り』になってしまおう。
自らに罪を擦り付けたと思われる者達をその場で斬殺し、シュリネは自由を得た。
そうして旅をする中で、シュリネはある少女と出会う。
少女の名はルーテシア・ハイレンヴェルク――まさに、刺客に狙われている最中だった。

「わたし、ちょっとお金に困ってるんだ。護衛が必要なら、たった今から雇われてあげるけど」

シュリネはルーテシアにそんな提案をして……?

Successful light novel and manga adaptations

Reason(s) for nominating: I started on the LN, and it was a mix of easy to read (for fantasy), interesting premise & story, and mildly annoying narrator. I stopped it at the time, cuz there was other stuff I was reading, but had thought about eventually picking it up again. LN is L28

a.k.a why I put it before 金色の文字使い :rofl:
I’ll just exchange the dates but create the thread for both for whoever feels like reading the other first

I am still reading どうも、好きな人に… and I won’t be joining クラスで2番目. I am on the fence about 金色の文字使い. Might give the webnovel a try, but my plate is… well… you can’t even see the plate anymore… the table has become the plate… i.e. it’s VERY full… :see_no_evil:

in this sense it’s a great thing that the club is technically unofficial, we just add it to the “tbr” slot for next time :rofl:

though since we’re all so full I might as well just put things on a pause - that way the reading for クラスで2番目 or 金色の文字使い will start on the 2nd of June and whatever other on 2nd August

edit: not that I added the nominations on the topic message
