Rosmei Licenses Danmei Novel Nan Chan for Official English Release

Danmei novel Nan Chan will be available to read in English soon, as early as 2024.

Rosmei has announced the Singaporean publisher has officially licensed Nan Chan, written by Tang Jiuqing (t97), for an official English release. The first volume will release sometime in spring 2024. In addition, Rosmei has also revealed they will not release an e-book version due to copyright ownership issues.

Nan Chan follows a powerful deity named Jing Lin who is presumably killed for murdering the Emperor of Heaven. However, Jing Lin managed to survive the assassination attempt and has hidden himself away atop a mountain to recover, along his brocade carp Cang Ji who has an all-consuming desire to devour Jing Lin. The two descend the mountain and encounter the Eight Sufferings, a Buddhist concept that denotes eight sufferings of life that everyone must go through such as birth, old age, sickness, death, parting with loved ones, encountering hated ones, inability to fulfill wishes and the inability to let things go.

Nan Chan produced the first season of an audio drama adaptation, although MaoerFM recently took it down due to contract expiration. The first volume releases in spring 2024.
