J-Novel Club announced on Tuesday that it will host Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash author Ao Jūmonji as a guest for this year’s Anime Expo.
Ao Jūmonji launched the Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash light novel series with illustrations by Eiri Shirai in 2013, and Overlap Bunko published the 12th novel on March 21.
Jūmonji’s other works include A Brave Heart of Red Rose I. -Farewell, the Witch Queen- (Bara no Maria I. Yume Oi Joō wa Eien ni Nemure) — his debut work and the first novel in his 27-volume 2004-2014 Bara no Maria light novel series.
J-Novel Club licensed the novels and is releasing them digitally, while Seven Seas is publishing the novels physically.
