J-Novel Club Adds “[New Life+] Young Again in Another World” Light Novels


Apparently, J-Novel Club is unleashing a force of sheer awesomeness today.

Earlier today, J-Novel Club announced that they acquired the global English digital rights to Mine and illustrator Kabocha’s [New Life+] Young Again in Another World (Nidome no Jinsei wo Isekai de) light novels. The first half of the first volume is currently available on the J-Novel Club website for subscribers. A preview is also available for all readers.

The first eBook in the series will hit retailers in mid-March 2018.

[New Life+] Young Again in Another World launched under Hobby Japan’s main imprint. The series currently spans seventeen volumes.

J-Novel Club describes the series as:

All of a sudden, out of nowhere.

“Renya Kunugi, you have passed away!”

So said the young girl who styled herself God.

Apparently, Renya Kunugi the Protagonist had lived long and prospered. His life already came to a peaceful and fulfilling end, but at the request of Her Holiness, he was transported to an alternate world to start a new life as a young man.

Thus did Renya, who was definitely your average everyday guy, end up fighting off bandits and vanquishing monsters. Eventually, after his successively blossoming talents coalesce into a force of sheer awesomeness, he will go on to leave his mark upon this alternate world.
