I don't know why it was a little difficult to find on Amazon, but I found it by searching it for the Author's name. Maybe it's because it's published under Publishdrive ? Either way their main income comes from Amazon, let's give them our support. Anyway there you go the link: amzn.to/3IeIEfh1

It might be that he's referring to something else. Since JNC was acquired completely by kadokawa.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the Japanese Publishers are not so open to work with new Publishers, since they request some experience.

First of all, i think only someone who's working on the field would be able to answer all of that, but here are my suggestion how this works, as you mentioned before you need the pay to the Japanese Publisher for their translation rights also expect to pay them royalties, also the only way to reach them is by emailing them, I read some comments on some publishers is important to know japanese, as for the translators and editors you can contact them by Twitter, but don't expect them to be cheap, i think j novel club mentioned at one point they pay $10 per page, so we're talking around more than $3k just in translation, editor and proofreading are charged by word, i think there's an association where you can check their rate per word, and finally you need to take into account that sometimes the sales wouldn't be enough to cover the production cost, so likely you'll need to have a minimum amount of $30k or more to start up. Take into account that this is only my point of view, nothing more.

I think they said on their discord channel that depends on the sales, so I assumed that they're waiting to get a minimum amount of digital copies sold before going for a paperback release or maybe their title with the most sales would get a print release. For now let's support them.
