The first two chapters are currently available for your viewing pleasure, and you can stay up to date on releases by checking out this playlist.



    In more Outcast Restaurant news, the digital version of Welcome to the Outcast’s Restaurant! Vol. 4 (manga) releases today.

    To wrap up our update, we have one final announcement to make—a brand new series! We are excited to welcome Munakata’s Two Months Left to Live in Another World to the Kaiten Books menu! The story follows octogenarian Kaichi Takemura, a master martial artist with a terminal cancer diagnosis who suddenly finds himself transported to another world. The only cure? Grinding experience to level up and extend his life!
