Making this now actually makes sense.

A lot of people might think making this before the first year of the manga ended was weird, but I think both from a ln reader's perspective this might be a great move.

1. The manga is real slow as it only adapted upto Volume 4 of the LNs.
2. We're already in Volume 5 of the 2nd year, and it would take literal YEARS for the manga to catch up, so starting the 2nd year manga now is a good move.
3. The art of the manga was anything but good, especially the art of Ayanokouji. I would hope the new artist draws him well.
4. 2 manga series running at the same time = more money.
