But Yet they did and they did so successfully in Japan and in the spin-off mediums.

But publishers were distressed, how could they market these book to their respected audiences? The whole point of Anime and Manga, was that you didn't have to read!

Besides they said to themselves, there was no visible interest in the target market anyway, thus they returned to their castles in frustration and horde what Anime & Manga licences they could acquire.

Baka-Tsuki Translation Community
About Us
PumkiMpagebanner.png
Baka-Tsuki (BT) is a fan translation community that hosts translations for light novels in the Wiki format. Founded in 2006 by Thelastguardian (初代 - 2006-2016), Baka-Tsuki has since expanded to become the largest fan-based English light novel agglomerate on the Internet. Apart from physically hosting 252 projects in 29 different languages, Baka-Tsuki aims to promote the popularity of light novels and serve as a hub to connect readers with fan translations of East Asian light novels on the Internet.

Baka-Tsuki is not a translation group. Independent translators come to Baka-Tsuki and voluntarily upload their translations to the Wiki for public sharing. Baka-Tsuki does not control what translators choose to translate or how fast they translate. Do not ask when the next chapter will be updated. Read More
