After having had to pause them for lack of success, Kurokawa announced, a year agothe return to France of light novels Goblin Slayer and Me, when I’m reincarnated as a slime for the current of this year 2022. We finally had to wait until the very end of the year to see the thing materialize, but the promise will indeed be kept by the publisher!
Indeed, volume 6 of Goblin Slayer and volume 5 of Me, when I am reincarnated as a slime are both planned for the December 8.
As announced by the publisher a year ago, the books will experience a price increase to compensate for their low number of sales. But contrary to what was announced a year ago, they will not increase to 12-13€ but to 14.90€, this additional price increase surely taking into account the current problems around raw materials and transport including prices are all up. Also remember that Kurokawa, as said in November 2021 there too, plans to continue these two series of novels at the rate of a single volume per year.
Finally, this summer, the publisher announced that the previous volumes of the two works will all be reprinted for the occasion, for a return to bookstores in December too, at the same time as the new volumes.
