Seven Seas to Release Audiobooks for Failure Frame, Most Notorious 'Talker'
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
John Patneaude is narrating Failure Frame, and the first audiobook volume will debut on August 21.
Seven Seas licensed both the light novel series and its manga adaptation, and it describes the story:
Touka Mimori and his classmates are abruptly catapulted into a fantasy world, summoned by the resident goddess to serve as heroes. The good news? Most of the students display amazing skills upon arrival! The bad? Mimori is the worst of the lot, bottoming out at a measly E-rank. Incensed, the goddess tosses him into a dungeon to die–but it turns out that Mimori's skills aren't so much worthless as they are abnormal. Abnormally powerful, perhaps!
The light novel debuted on Overlap's Comic Gardo site in July 2018. The 13th novel volume with art by KWKM shipped in Japan in April 25. The manga premiered on Comic Gardo in July 2019. The manga's 12th compiled book volume launched in Japan on May 25. The novels inspired a television anime that premiered in July 2024.
Seven Seas licensed both the novel series and the manga series, and it describes the story:
Noel longs to be a Seeker like his heroic grandfather, slaying the beasts that emerge from Abysses and exploring far-off lands. Unfortunately, it turns out he's nothing but a measly Talker–a job with no combat skills whatsoever. Undaunted, Noel sets out to establish the strongest clan in all the land, using his silver-tongued Talker skills to unite assassins and heroes under his leadership.
Jaki launched the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website, and the Overlap Bunko imprint has published four volumes so far. Yamorichan has been adapting the story as a manga on the Comic Gardo website, and the manga's 10th volume shipped in November 2024, with the 11th volume shipping on August 25. The novels inspired a television anime that premiered in September 2024.
