Through his Twitter account, the writer of the light novels Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi (Redo of Healer), Rui Tsukiyo, commented that the English version of his literary work “was rejected” by a foreign publisher. «For fans abroad. I have received several inquiries about how to acquire the English version of Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi, but it does not exist. We tried to publish the English version but a foreign publisher rejected it. The situation could change if several foreign publishing labels start receiving applications to license the work, "he wrote.
For overseas. I've received several inquiries about buying the English version of "Redo of Healer", but it doesn't exist. We tried to publish the English version, but it was refused by an overseas publisher.

The situation may change if many requests reach overseas labels.
Another of the author's works, however, did get an English translation from the Yen Press publishing house in the West. This work is Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei suru (The world’s best assassin, To reincarnate in a different world aristocrat), which features illustrations by Reia and whose first volume in English was released on December 29. Tsukiyo pointed out this fact in a later post, noting that it is another of the works in which he also has faith for the future.
Another novel I wrote is in English, so be sure to check it out! This is also a self-confident work https://t.co/aB0RFRfUd4

Rui Tsukiyo began publishing the novels through the independent service Shousetsuka ni Narou in December 2016 and they are still in publication. Subsequently, the Kadokawa publishing house, through the Sneaker Bunko label, began its publication on paper in July 2017. The manga adaptation by Souken Haga has been published through the Young Ace Up service since October 2017.
An anime adaptation of twelve episodes produced by TNK studios, under the direction of Takuya Asaoka and scripts written by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu, has been on air since January 13 in Japan.
