The wraparound jacket band on the fifth compiled volume of Virginia Nitōhei’s manga based on Natsuya Semikawa’s Isekai Izakaya “Nobu” (Otherwordly Izakaya “Nobu”) light novel series revealed on December 29 that the manga has 900,000 copies in print.
The studio Sunrise is animating an adaptation of the novels under the title Isekai Izakaya ~Koto Aitheria no Izakaya Nobu~ (Otherwordly Izakaya ~Ancient Capital Aitheria Izakaya Nobu~) for release this year.
The novels center on a bar called “Nobu” — located in Kyoto, Japan, but with a door that is connected to the bar in another world.
The visitors include denizens of the other world, and customers seek out its excellent “Toriaezu Nama” ale and cuisine.
