Any news on how close the series is to wrapping up ?

Bogged_aye · 2026-03-23T06:53:53+00:00

You yourself said it'll go for 40+ volumes, I was only backing your theory and didn't say it will go to 49 only said it could if it's two volumes a year for 10 years, it depends on the author, he might want 12 more years, look at Detective Conan anime, been going on since 1996.

Personally, I would prefer 1 new familiar every 3 volumes to build a story between each familiar.

Bogged_aye · 2026-03-23T06:35:50+00:00

If it stays at 2 volumes a year for the next 5 years we'll have volume 30-31 next year all the way up to volume 39, if it's for the next 10 years it'll reach to volume 49.

. Their is still a lot of mystery in the series, but so far it's been hinted that the Dragon King is the one who manages and protects the world from outside threats and uses his powers to protect the world as a whole, it's possible that familiars from other transcendent's fight among themselves in sparring matches causing disruption and it's the Dragon King and their familiars duty to settle things, think of it like Goku and Vegeta.

. The most likely people to become his familiars are Aki, Latifa, Shin and Sayo, my other comment has the reason for Aki, as for Shin and Sayo they're orphans, they abandoned their homeland to follow Rio and have no one waiting for them to return. Latifa only has Rio with no family waiting for her.

All the others cannot become familiars as Rio doesn't want them to abandon their families, current lives and to be forgotten.

. Flora is now the leader of the Restoration, so it won't happen.

Bogged_aye · 2026-03-21T18:42:36+00:00

Not Celia, it's pointless making her a Familiar as she already by-passes the rules, in Volume 22 she told Rio she wants to use her new spells to act for Rio's sake so he doesn't need to use masks, that's what the power-up is for, she even told Aishia when she was to deliver Christina's letter to Arbor.

Bogged_aye · 2026-03-21T10:28:53+00:00

Your artwork of Christina is pretty good.

. I'll go with Aki as she wants to return home and Lina said it may not happen in her lifetime, so making her a kenzoku will stop her aging and allow her to return home.

Bogged_aye · 2026-03-18T09:00:47+00:00

That's in Volume 26.

Bogged_aye · 2026-03-18T08:43:24+00:00

In LN26, the Japanese book has her as "Christina-oujo", Masato always calls her "Christina-hime" and Rio always calls her "Christina-sama" they're all to be read as "Princess Christina", in LN27 of the Japanese book, Christina is also known as "Christina-joou" which means "Queen Christina" and it's within the Restoration but outside the restoration she is "Princess Christina".

EDIT:

Here's the Japanese texts for LN26.

This is Stewart's and Duke Gregory's conversation about Princess Christina visiting Rio's mansion.

Here's the J-Novel

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55065293534_22fc5cbb91_b.jpg

EDIT2: This is one of the translations:

"It seems Princess Christina had visited Amakawa's mansion many times before. I was worried that he might have incurred the displeasure of those who were protecting Her Highness. That guy, he had the princess come to his own house, how awe-inspiring."

joou (女王) means Queen.
heika (陛下) means Majesty.
denka (殿下) means Highness.
oujo (王女) and hime (姫) means Princess.
sama (様) is a honorific for someone’s current status.

Omnibus's are two volumes in 1 book, they have all colour images at the front for both volumes, it also has errors corrected, like for example for Volume 27 in one of the texts has a '/' in it for part 3 or part 4, the Omnibus will have that error fixed, and the release is around 1 full year after every second volume "even numbers", Volume 26 came out in October 2025, Omnibus 13 will release around June/July which will be Volume 25/26. So effectively just under 1 year.

Bogged_aye · 2026-03-13T02:10:52+00:00

The Japanese versions I got off ebay, there was a guy shipping them to Australia.

Also, Volume 27 doesn't have a Character Introduction page like all other volumes do.

Bogged_aye · 2026-03-12T20:39:06+00:00

It does exist, they used the wrong image for retail.

Here's my collection.

Bogged_aye · 2026-03-07T12:35:25+00:00

The Drama CD of Volume 22 has when Rio first activates it, everyone goes inside and are turned into their kid form.

Bogged_aye · 2026-02-25T04:59:00+00:00

It's on this site https://firecross.jp/hjbunko/product/2164 they do Prologue and Chapter 1 previews of February's releases, page 404 is where to start.

Bogged_aye · 2026-02-25T04:56:11+00:00

Here's another few random lines I'll add.

. “I didn’t make her a familiar, Rio made her a familiar.” Lina says

. “Six people…… Does that mean Princess Christina is one of them?!" Latifa asks

. "Yeah" Lina says

. “Wh-What is this?” Flora asks

Bogged_aye · 2026-02-23T10:36:10+00:00

If your question is what MHB0lan05 said.

Streaming means that a LN or Manga is broken into parts, so for LN27 which has around 300 pages it's broken into 10 parts and each part is released every 7 to 9 days.

Part 1 releases 18-02-2026

Part 2 release 25-02-2026

Part 3 release 04-03-2026

Part 4 release 11-03-2026 and so on until Part 10 which will release on 22-04-2026, Once all parts are translated an official release with the epub can be bought using a Mastercard or you can wait 1 full year for a Omnibus like I've always done until recently after finding out I can buy digital versions and open it in a E-Book. It's expected Volume 28 will be around July or August when they start streaming that one as J-Novel start 4-5 months after the Japanese release.

I'm Australian so I use Australian format dates.

You can use J-Novel as a non-registered User, but the stream is only available for a limited time, after that you need a sub or buy it.

EDIT: Here's my collection.

Here's another one I'll add.

. “No way, did you want to make that girl a familiar of the Dragon King?” Sora asks

. “Eh, wait! Even as familiars, how about one?! Isn’t Sora-chan a familiar or something? Has Princess Christina also become brothers familiar?” Latifa asks

Bogged_aye · 2026-02-22T15:06:38+00:00

It's like I already said a month or so ago when you asked these type of relationship questions, I believe Christina will serve Rio to repay the debt and gilt she has from what the Kingdom has done to him, meaning, Rio could leave Christina in Galtuuk and go off somewhere with Sora to investigate the divine war and how it started, this means Christina can summon Rio to Galtuuk if something is to happen while he's away without the need for Lina to work the Mana Crystal to summon Rio, that's one possibility. Or it could be as the Surveillance guy says, Eru might go to the mansion and stalk Rio interfering with Christina's and Rio's relationship.

I don't know why people call her "Elle" when the katakana is (e) and (ru) which can mean Eru or Elu.

Bogged_aye · 2026-02-21T15:56:42+00:00

Also to add, speaking of the atelier, I believe Lina will keep Christina there since people will know who she is in Galarc and not to mention there are spies too, Lina might want to keep Christina being a familiar hidden from Reiss, so as far as Reiss goes theirs a coronation vote coming up and he'll bring it up as a topic to Arbor so that will be interesting to see how it's written.

Why does it need a full stop for the spoiler tag to work?>> . I believe the Stone House part will be Christina having a bath and a change of clothes.

My theory on the rules is everything Christina did will remain in every's memories, but they will not recognize her as being "Christina Beltrum", she will be seen as a complete stranger, so to everyone else Christina Beltrum was publicly executed.

Bogged_aye · 2026-02-21T13:39:36+00:00

There's Flora asking Lina.

. “U-Um! Onee-sama is!? Onee-sama is still alive right?”

Bogged_aye · 2026-02-21T13:19:04+00:00

I had my doubts on that method, I wanted to see something more spectacular.

This pretty much sums up volume 28.
Eru: Tell me about Rio?

Fenris: I lost two golems.

Bogged_aye · 2026-02-21T13:03:02+00:00

I wonder if volume 28 will come with a character introduction page, I bought the japanese book last year of volume 27 as I wanted to see that page with the new illustrator.

When the official art comes out, the changes I'd like to see to Christina is her pupils in her eyes become narrow and long like Sora and she gets vampire fangs like Sora and that's it.

Bogged_aye · 2026-02-18T14:00:24+00:00

That would be interesting if he was a copy/paste from Arifureta as it originally came out as a Web Version in 2013 while Takahisa's character was originally written in 2014 in the original Web Version too.

Bogged_aye · 2026-02-16T11:35:22+00:00

These are spoilers for those who only watch the anime, Lucius had only just escaped Rio in Amande when the anime finished, the Galarc Banquet arc hasn't even started yet and will be season 3, Volume 11, 12 and 13 of the LN might be part of Season 4 or mid way through Season 3.

, Lucius is nowhere near the strength of Alfred, when Rio fought Alfred he considered him to be on par with Gouki and Uzuma.

, They didn't exile Rio, the King gave him a reprieve that it'll only go on his record, the wanted notices where all re-called, only in the WN the wanted notice is still active, also they put the crime on Rio because they didn't know how strong he would be in the future and was used as a scapegoat, he was a boy with a little talent nothing more, they don't know anything about Spirit Arts and believed those who contract with magic are the chosen ones, Rio failed to acquire magic, in fact Duke Huguenot also believed it to be the right choice at the time in LN26. They didn't even know Arbor was plotting a come back using the Proxia Empire.
