Print plans for 2027
J-Novel Club will also bring two existing digital series to print: Nahuse’s Rebuild World light novels starting April 27, 2027, and Micoto Sakurai and Levin Aoi’s A Royal Rebound: Forget My Ex-Fiance, I’m Being Pampered by the Prince! manga starting June 8, 2027.
The batch leans hard into isekai comfort reads and offbeat premises, from a VTuber detective to a grown-up magical girl, so there should be something here for most light novel fans.
