Hanashi Media revealed last Thursday that it has licensed Kei Azumi’s “alternate world” social reform fantasy novel series “Tsukimichi-Moonlit Fantasy-(Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Dōchū). The company will release the first novel in English digitally on March 30, with pre-orders now open.
Hanashi Media describes the story:
Makoto Misumi is an ordinary everyday high school student who finds herself transported to another world against her parents’ will. However, when he arrived, he was insulted by the Goddess for being so ugly and thrown into a desolate wasteland. He frantically searches for human warmth and connection, but can find nothing but monsters and inhuman settlers. When he finally meets companions he can trust, they turn out to be a pair of powerful perverts, former dragons and former giant spiders! His ill-fated and unfortunate journey through this strange world has only just begun!
The novel inspired an anime television adaptation that debuted in July 2021 and aired for 12 episodes. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired and also streamed the English dub. This is the first anime for NTV’s newly established Anime Department.
The second season of the anime premiered on Tokyo MX and BS NTV on January 8 at 11 p.m. JST (9:00 a.m. EST) and on MBS on January 9. Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs and is also streaming the English dub.
Azumi launched the novel on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in 2012, and AlphaPolis published the novel in print with illustrations by Mitsuaki Matsumoto. The series has 1.4 million copies in circulation. Kotora Kino began serializing a manga adaptation in 2016.
