"Outraged by the absurd treatment, Rein decides to take back the enormous amount of mana he had poured into their equipment."

Uh? Seems like the guild would have a clear case against him. It don't work that way, bub. You enchanted those items on guild time. Can the guild just take back all that food you ate, that it paid for? I thought not!

Oh, I remember this one!
This one is famous for it's manga "adaptation" being completely different and much better than the generic original novels and based on the teaser visual (compare the protagonist's hair style for example) it seems like they're adapting the former.

I was wondering why PA Works, of all studios, would be adapting a Banished series but apparently the manga version gets pretty wild...

You really can't tell by the titles, can't you?

That's a good point because the article's The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a New Life Novels Get TV Anime title is genuinely misleading. Especially considering that it features a comment from the novel's author congratulating manga author on getting anime adaptation.

That depends on how enchanting works and what their contract was. Because it sounds more like he was renting them his own mana for the items. So when they cancelled the contract (which they probably never read), he rightfully repossessed what they were renting. LIke *The Strongest Solo Life in Another World of A Point Gifter* except with items instead of EX.

Ahahaha, I was looking at the info page while updating my spreadsheet, and this one's title is so long it went over Narou's character limit.

Though it looks like the full title is 95 characters (shortened to 89), and there's some that are longer, like The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows (99 characters). Maybe they lowered the limit sometime between November 2020 and January 2021? …No, that can't be right, this one started in August 2021 and also has 99.
