posted on by Anita Tai
This year's 19th issue of Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine announced on Friday that tawaketch will launch a new manga based on Fujino Ōmori and Suzuhito Yasuda's Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka or DanMachi) light novel series, covering the "Deep Floors" arc, in the magazine's next issue on October 2.
Ōmori's original Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? light novel series currently has 21 volumes, and its spinoff series Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? On the Side: Sword Oratoria has 16 volumes. The franchise has over 20 million copies in circulation.
Ōmori's Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Astrea Record (Astrea Record Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka) spinoff light novel series inspired a manga adaptation in Square Enix's Monthly Big Gangan magazine on May 25.
The novel series is a spinoff of Ōmori's own Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka) light novel series, and itself adapts the "Astrea Record" third anniversary event from the Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Memoria Freese game, which debuted in the game in 2020. Ōmori launched the light novel series with its first volume in October 2022, with art by kakage. The third volume shipped in December 2022. Yen Press released the third novel in English in November 2024.
