See you, or maybe it’s more apt to say “hear” you after work.
Yen Press announced that See You at That Site of Grace After Work, a light novel that was announced for license acquisition just last month, will also receive an audiobook adaptation. The audiobook will be released under the publisher’s audiobook imprint called Yen Audio. A narrator has not yet been announced. The audiobook releases in November 2026.
Yen Press has provided the following synopsis:
Wataru Aida struggles with communication, yet somehow he ended up with a job in sales. His sole source of joy is playing video games, where he immerses himself in the world and studies online strategy guides alone rather than interacting with other players. However, this all changes one day when his senior coworker Reito Kashima catches him looking at a site for the game he’s currently obsessed with during his lunch break—and rather than chew him out, Reito asks Wataru to help him with Elden Ring! As they adventure together across the Lands Between, both Wataru’s career and his life begin to lead him down paths he never thought possible…
Written by Keiichi Hikami, the light novel was first released in Japan in 2024 and has received praise for its story about the gaming culture and sharing hobbies that you typically wouldn’t associate with adults.
The hardcover light novel publishes in October 2026 with the audiobook out a month later and will be available on Spotify, Audible, Google Play, and other platforms.
