The final volume (Volume 6) of Regened Lore of the Merchants from Babelheim is available on e-book platforms starting today.
This marks the end of a four-year journey for this series, and nine years since I first began working on the original version. I am truly grateful for your long and steady support.
Remaking the series as Regened Lore was often more challenging than creating a completely new work from scratch. I was only able to cross the finish line thanks to the behind-the-scenes support of my past editors and staff, and above all, the readers who stayed with me. My primary motivation was the constant thought that I couldn’t let it end prematurely and let my readers down. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Regarding my next project—while I have been brainstorming and meeting with editors during the weeks without Regened Lore updates, I am still struggling to bring a new story to life. I will continue to work hard so that I can share good news with you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support.
[Addendum]
I’ve occasionally seen comments from people saying, “I’ll wait for the physical paperback!” and while I’d love to say “Me too!”, please be aware that this release is digital-only. I appreciate your understanding.
If a major miracle happens and some new commercial opportunity arises, a physical edition might become a reality—but as of now, there are no such plans. The only way to get the book is in digital format. I know some of you may not be used to e-books, but I would truly appreciate your support there. Please note that any physical books currently available are the original version, not the remake.
Regarding the epilogue of the final chapter (the part with Mephisto)—some have asked if it was cut for Regened Lore. It was originally placed in the “Choi-tashi” (bonus) section on the MangaONE app, but it is included in the e-book volume (digital-only) with some additional touch-ups.
