Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka volume 15 release date

A while ago I checked the release date of vol. 15 on the wiki and it said it's TBD which is very strange considering vol. 14 came out in January of this year (6 months). Then I checked on google today and it says vol. 15 will be released some time in July. I don't know why I care about vol. 15 when it'll take a year or more for the translations to even get to that point but can anyone confirm?

Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka volume 15 release date

level 1

The reason why the wiki says TBD is because it's not confirmed. While the volume is predicted to be released in July as you said, it's not a guarantee since it could be delayed or something.

level 1

July is an estimate given that in 2020/2019 they released volumes in January+July and the first volume of 2021 came out in January so if it followed the pattern the next volume would come out in July. However nowhere lists volume 15 (including Honto, Amazon, Bookwalker, Kadokawa A, Kadokawa B, or Kadokawa C).

WELL, THIS IS AWKWARD...

With the Potimas problem officially behind us (like, for real this time), I can finally focus on destroying this god-awful system!…is what I’d like to say. But it looks like a certain someone won’t let that happen without a fight. I swear, every time you think you’re about to blaze through the final encounter, the devs crank out a hotfix. And by that, I mean D decided to activate some World Quest that clued the entire population in on the fate of the world. So now everyone has to pick a side in this battle of the gods— Black or White. And no matter who they side with, they’re probably gonna die. Sucks, right? Well, how do you think I feel?! Do you think I asked to be put in the middle of all this?! No waaay!

So I'm a Spider, So What? (Japanese: 蜘蛛ですが、なにか?, Hepburn: Kumo Desu ga, Nanika?) is a Japanese light novel isekai series written by Okina Baba and illustrated by Tsukasa Kiryu. The story follows a class that is killed in a mysterious explosion and reincarnated into another world with one girl reincarnated as a dungeon spider. The spider evolves and ends up having a significant influence on the world, becoming one of its most powerful creatures, while the students and their teacher deal with the fallout from her actions and those of other armies. The series has received a manga adaptation, and an anime television series adaptation by Millepensee aired from January to July 2021.

Plot[edit]

In a world where the battle between Hero and Demon Lord repeated itself time and time again, an enormous space-time spell misfired and hit a certain Japanese high school class on Earth, killing everyone in it. However, guided by what seemed to be a miracle, the students were all reincarnated into that other world. While a handful was fortunate enough to become royalty, nobles, and other kinds of influential people, one girl was not so lucky. Being reborn as a spider monster of the weakest kind in a dungeon filled with vicious beasts, she is forced to experience extreme hardship. Even so, armed with nothing but her human knowledge and overwhelming positivity, she continues to press on and survive against creatures much stronger than herself.

Media[edit]

Light novels[edit]

Okina Baba originally serialized the series as a web novel on the user-generated content site Shōsetsuka ni Narō starting on May 27, 2015.[2][3] Fujimi Shobo acquired the series for print publication, and published the first light novel, with illustrations by Tsukasa Kiryu, in December 2015.[3][4] Yen Press announced during their panel at Sakura-Con on April 15, 2017, that they had licensed the series.[5] The series' main story ended with its 16th volume released on January 8, 2022.

Anime[edit]

It was reported on July 6, 2018, that the series would receive an anime adaptation, according to an early look at the wraparound jacket band on the fifth volume of the manga adaptation.[3] The report was confirmed at Kadokawa's booth at Anime Expo later that day, and it was announced that the adaptation would be a television series.[61] Originally set to premiere in 2020,[62] it was rescheduled to premiere in January 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[63] The two-cour (24 episode) series was animated by Millepensee and directed by Shin Itagaki, with Okina Baba and Yūichirō Momose overseeing the series' scripts, and Kii Tanaka designing the characters, Shūji Katayama composing the series' music, and Jōtarō Ishigami producing the series. The series aired from January 8 to July 3, 2021, on AT-X and other channels. The first opening theme song is "keep weaving your spider way" performed by Riko Azuna, while the first ending theme song is "Do Your Best! Kumoko-san's Theme" (がんばれ!蜘蛛子さんのテーマ, Ganbare! Kumoko-san no Tēma) performed by I (Aoi Yūki).[64] The second opening theme is "Bursty Greedy Spider" performed by Konomi Suzuki, while the second ending theme is "Reality Convex Hierarchy" (現実凸撃ヒエラルキー, Genjitsu Totsugeki Hierarchy) by Yūki.[65][66] It is licensed by Crunchyroll outside Asia.[67] Medialink has licensed the series in Southeast Asia and South Asia, and is streaming it on their Ani-One YouTube channel and Bilibili.[68] The final episode was delayed due to production issues and aired one week later on July 3, 2021.[69]

Reception[edit]

The light novels and manga had a combined 1.2 million copies in print as of July 2018.[3] The light novels ranked third in the tankōbon category in the Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! 2017 rankings,[97] and second in the 2018 rankings.[98]
