J-Novel Club Adds Discommunication, Sweet Reincarnation and More Manga to the Catalog!
Book publisher J-Novel Club has announced a selection of five titles to join their catalog of manga on their website. These titles were announced on Friday 19th April during the Anime Boston and Sakura-Con convention weekend. These titles will be available on their website in batches, starting with a few parts of Volume 1 for each series.
The following titles announced were as follows:
Discommunication
ディスコミュニケーション
Written & drawn by Ueshiba Riichi
Togawa is dating the resident class weirdo, and their relationship is even more non-standard than she expected! They’ve never even kissed, but he’s tasted her tears, cleaned her ears, and shaved the nape of her neck! And also walked her through a Buddhist ritual that opened her third eye and brought her spiritual peace and a good night’s sleep. It is indeed a wonder, in more ways than one, that she can’t help but feel drawn to him.

A man dies alone after living a stagnant and fruitless life – but that’s not where his story ends, as a boy named William is born into a land of fantasy and magic. Raised in a city of the dead by his new family – a mummy, a skeleton, and a ghost – he can remember glimpses of his past life, enough to know his time on Earth was wasted, and he vows not to let that happen again. Schooled in magic and combat, Will sets out on a journey to see the world. Along the way, he’ll meet beings of all shapes and sizes. Each of these people has a story to tell and a lesson to teach Will about how to live his life to the fullest.

Rentt Faina, a twenty-five-year-old adventurer, has been hacking away at monsters for a decade. However, without much talent for the job, Rentt finds himself stuck hunting Slimes and Goblins for meager amounts of coin every day. Little does he know, all this is about to change when he comes across a seemingly undiscovered path in the Labyrinth of the Moon’s Reflection. What awaits him at the end of the path, however, is neither treasure nor riches, but a legendary dragon that wastes no time swallowing him whole! Waking up a short time later, Rentt finds himself not quite dead, but not very alive either – He is nothing more than a pile of bones! Armed with nothing but his trusty sword, tool belt, and ghoulish new looks, Rentt sets off on his quest as a newly reborn Skeleton to achieve Existential Evolution, hoping to one day return to civilization with a more human form. Will Rentt succeed, or will the labyrinth consume him for the rest of his un-death…?
