From the New World, Volume 1 | Yusuke Kishi
1 post | 2 read
Saki and her schoolmates enjoy what they consider normal lives in a peaceful provincial setting. Only their village cannot be of this era. Its customs differ from those of any known in modern day Japan. The landscape while familiar is also much more constrained than what modern day maps may exhibit. So when 6 friends embark on a journey of mental and physical training, this fateful journey will lead them to a series of mind-shattering truths-for these characters and for us as readers.

Loved the fan translation of this light novel when I read it years ago. The official English translation is good. There are some phrases that were specific in the fan translation and anime that are different in the official translation. The anime is also heart breaking and wonderful. The anime is available in English and is named Shinsekai Yori in Japanese. I'm glad light novels are catching on in the US.
