The Faraway Paladin: The Archer of Beast Woods - Kanata Yanagino - Bog

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. Japanese turnout remains strong, thanks to a manga adaptation also released in monthly serialisation, alongside an anime adaptation due to begin airing in October 2021 with global simulcasting. 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!
