Publisher's Synopsis
Proven appeal of subject: Over 30,000 copies of the original novels have been sold as eBooks, with the series returning soon from extended hiatus and an anime airing in October 2020. Japanese turnout is strong, with the manga adaptation continuing its release in monthly serialisation throughout the pause. J-Novel Club is also releasing the manga digitally and in print.
Genre staying power: With its European-inspired setting and epic fantasy story, The Faraway Paladin follows the grand medieval tradition of stories such as Parzival and Tristan, telling a story of emotional and moral growth alongside exciting moments of high action. The serialised storytelling also encourages returning for the next volume!
