Danmachi Volume 18 Illustrations

[Hasan Fogg]

Thesecond story jumps around in the timeline a bit. The first part takes place after season 3/volume 11, the second part takes place before season 3/volume 9, the third part takes place during season 3/volume 11, and the fourth part takes place after season 4/volume 14. This story has a focus on Wiene and the Xenos. It starts with Wiene being lonely and wanting to meet Bell and the others. The Xenos suggest that she write letters to Bell. We are then treated to a few scenes of times when human adventurers have helped the Xenos. This is a great story for Wiene content and we get some more lore about the Xenos which was really interesting.

The third story is original to this volume and takes place after volume 18, the most recent volume released. In this one, Hedin, Hogni, and the Gulliver Brothers escort Bell and Lyu to the 37th Floor where the two of them meet the Xenos to thank them for their help and learn more about what exactly the Coliseum is. This was an interesting story and I always enjoy seeing the Hestia Familia reunite with Wiene.

Also, I have to report that this volume had a lot more illustrations in it than the second Shouhenshuu volume did. Kakage is providing illustrations for the Argonaut spin-off so hopefully Nilitsu will able to rest for a bit now.

Is it wrong to pick up girls in dungeon? is written by Fujino Omori with illustrations by Suzuhito Yasuda. In the anime community it is more widely known as Danmachi, the beginning of the Japanese title is danmachi so it just carried over to the western population too. There are currently 9 volumes out in Japan with 4 currently translated in English with the 5th one coming out in April. It also has a 13 episode anime that aired last year that I think covers up to volume 5 or 6 of the light novel. This also has a manga and multiple spin-offs as well. So needless to say, this a very popular story and for a good reason.

The novel starts out kind of like this post started out. After the male MC, named Bell Cranel, runs out of the dungeon with his proverbial tail between his legs, he meets up with a secretary named Eina at guild headquarters where he exchanges shards that he gets from killing monsters. For an adventurer like Bell, shards can be turned into the guild for money. The bigger the shard or multiple shards, the higher the payout. The woman he fell in love with in the dungeon is named Aiz Wallenstein, She is a member of the Loki Familia. She is the best swords-woman in the city. Big hurdle to get her to notice you right? For a more in depth introduction to this light novel check out Ground Level: Danmachi volume 1 that I published a week or so ago.

Fujino Omori, author of DanMachi (also known as Familia Myth and Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) surpassed the record long held by Katanagatari author Nisio Isin for the most light novels consecutively published in a single series.

Isin published one light novel of his series Katanagatari every month from Jan. to Dec. in 2007, holding the record for 16 years before being dethroned this month by Omori. The latter author has now published 13 light novels in his DanMachi series for 13 consecutive months, from October 2022's publication of Astrea Record, Vol. 1 Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Tales of Heroes to the publication of Familia Myth: Episode Lyu 2 on Oct. 14, 2023.

The very first DanMachi light novel was published in 2013. Since then, the DanMachi series has been adapted into three different manga series, five anime seasons, two mobile games and a movie. As of this writing, 19 volumes of the light novel series have been released, along with 13 volumes of the spin-off light novel series Sword Oratoria, which has also received its own anime adaptation. The most recent spin-off light novel series, Familia Chronicle, currently has three volumes.

In celebration of his achievement, Omori tweeted a message translated as: "Thanks to all of you, we were able to publish consecutively for 13 months. I think I heard that the record for consecutive monthly publications for a single light novel series was 12 months, so I tried challenging it, but I was completely lost by the end! To all the related staff and readers, thank you so very much!!! #DanMachi10thAnniversary #DanMachi #danmachi

While Omori now holds the record for the most light novels published consecutively in a single series, the record for the most light novels published consecutively over several series is currently held by Kazuma Kamachi at 28 consecutive publications. Kamachi is the author of The Unexplored Summon://Blood-Sign, A Certain Magical Index, Saikyou wo Kojiraseta Level Counter Stop Kenseijo Beatrice no Jakuten Sono Na wa "Buu Buu", Apocalypse Witch and most recently, A Certain Dark Side ITEM.

This volume consists of sketches from Ryoko Kui's, now inactive, website, There Were Dragons in the West, as well as new illustrations for Delicious in Dungeon. This volume was 24 pages long.[4]
