Rosmei posted the dust jacket and base covers for all three volumes of their upcoming English edition of Nan Chan.
Rosmei also made note of a change to their release of the third volume. In response to negative fan feedback about the third volume’s cover art, Rosmei states they will be contracting with new artists and taking open requests for merch.
Quoted from Rosmei’s Twitter/X announcement:
“The cover artworks were completed long before we revealed them to the audience. Considering the controversies that arose and the contract we signed with the artist, the Rosmei editorial team has decided to add an M-edition for Nanchan Vol. 3. What is the m-edition? It stands for “merch edition”. We will feature 2-3 additional artworks by different artists for Nanchan, which will be made into various merch. Currently, we plan to include one acrylic plate and one shikishi. If you have preferences for other merch types, please leave us a comment under this tweet. While we may not be able to produce every type our readers want, we will definitely take your suggestions into consideration.
In the meantime, the same artworks will be made into paper-based freebies for the regular edition, so anyone who doesn’t want to pay extra for the new art can still receive the new artworks with their pre-orders.
In summary:
Regular Edition = Nanchan Vol. 3 + freebies (including the new artworks)
M-Edition = Nanchan Vol. 3 + freebies + merch (with new artworks made into an acrylic plate and shikishi)”
Nan Chan (南禅) is a danmei series written by Tang Jiu Qing that began in 2018 and ran for 129 chapters (including extras) on JJWXC. It has since been published as a two-volume Simplified Chinese print by Changjiang and a two-volume Traditional Chinese print by Morefate. It also received an audio drama adaptation, though it is now discontinued.
Rosmei does not provide summaries for any of their licensed series. The below summary is taken from DanmeiNews’ series catalogue entry:
The amnesiac immortal Jing Lin has been recovering in seclusion on a mountain for centuries with only a carp for company. The carp, Cang Ji, has human-level intelligence and gains a human form after drinking Jing Lin’s blood. After a valuable artifact goes missing, Jing Lin and Cang Ji must journey to retrieve it while facing trials themed around Buddhist philosophy.
Tang Jiu Qing is also known for her other popular series Ballad of Sword and Wine: Qiang Jin Jiu, which is currently being released in English by Seven Seas Entertainment.
Any buyers interested in purchasing from Rosmei must order through group order services, forwarding services, or other third-party sites. Rosmei’s distribution rights only permit them to sell inside Singapore, so these books will not be available for purchase at North American retailers like Barnes & Noble, Indigo/Chapters, or Amazon.
