[About the background] Dangan Bunko is rebooting “Labyrinth Bastard,” which was originally published in 2019 but then canceled, in July 2025. This project received an overwhelming response. Based on this experience, we believe that while many titles have been canceled (including those that have been canceled), there may be some titles that have potential. [Reboot work conditions] – A light novel (including a web novel adaptation) previously published by a publisher. – More than one year has passed since the last commercial publication. – A work aimed at men. Rebooting is not possible in the following cases: – The author cannot be contacted. – There are issues with publishing rights, etc., and the copyright cannot be changed. – The publishing rights cannot be revoked. – The copyright holder is already selling the work
themselves. [Notes] – This is merely a request for candidate works, and does not guarantee that submitted works will be republished. – The number of requests will not affect the selection of candidates. – There is no deadline for submissions, but the submission period may end without notice. ◆For companies interested in our work Our company is involved in media mixes and collaborations, including video, audio, and comic book adaptations, as well as the production and development of original IP through collaborations, so if you’re a company interested, please feel free to contact us.
