NEW YORK, NY — May 15, 2026 — Fans of heartfelt workplace drama and video game adventures will soon be able to experience See You at That Site of Grace After Work in an entirely new way, as the highly anticipated light novel by Keiichi Hikami is set to receive an audiobook adaptation in November 2026. 

See You at That Site of Grace After Work

Story by Keiichi Hikami

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… 

Soon to be published in English by Yen Press under the Yen On imprint, See You at That Site of Grace After Work has quickly captured readers' attention as a gaming-centric light novel inspired by the shared experience of playing Elden Ring. The story follows Wataru Aida, a socially awkward salesman whose quiet routine changes dramatically after his coworker unexpectedly invites him to team up in Elden Ring. What begins as cooperative gameplay slowly develops into a deeply personal journey of friendship, confidence, and connection. First released in Japan in 2024, the novel has drawn praise for its authentic depiction of gaming culture and modern adult relationships, resonating strongly with readers who enjoy slice-of-life stories grounded in shared hobbies and emotional intimacy. 

The English hardcover edition of See You at That Site of Grace After Work is currently scheduled for release in October 2026, with the audiobook releasing the following month. See You at That Site of Grace After Work (audio) will be available on most streaming platforms, including Spotify, Audible, Google Play, and more.
