Organized Canine Bureau Special Agent
Bumping it now since I got the trope page up.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"
There is an unofficial translation of the light novels to English (1st volume and part of the 2nd so far, also most of the crossover novel with Durarara). Search the 'hakata tonkotsu ramens' tag on tumblr.
There is also an official translation being published in Korea (2 or 3 volumes I think).

Thanks for that tidbit. Didn't know.
Is there info on the Korean publisher?

this is what I've seen today
A few years ago HTR's author wrote on her blog in Japanese about the 1st novel being published in Korean. I've seen some mention of the 2nd volume in Korean somewhere, too. I assumed that tweet may be about the 4th volume coming out (that's why I thought there may be the 3rd out already).
I can't read Korean so what I suggest is looking for information in that language yourself.

Ah gotcha.
The page'll need some other stuff in it soon...

In the third episode, we see how the Niwaka Samurai looks like.

Been researching on the term Niwaka (俄) in the show and whether it is the same kanji as shown here since I'm not that familiar with the light novel.

Looks like peeps foreshadowed about the Niwaka Samurai's connections to Banba.
Turns out they're one and the same.

Four more characters are gonna show up and you may notice one of them from the PV trailers.

Gave a listen to FUNI's Episode 4. Wished they use a younger voice for Sarucchi. He looks maybe in his 20s IMO.

I gotta say.
Yagi's an awesome butler...

Seems like Satelight adapted the first four volumes, albeit a bit out of order with some plot stuff changed or not mentioned at all.

At this point, I think I need to split the characters page to subsections.

Looks like one more episode before the show ends. Hopefully another season can start.

Nice way to end the show. Seems like it’ll be a sleeper anime...

Going to read the novels now. Someone compiled the first three volumes.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"
Putting up this up 'cause there's none yet and I'm watching the first two episodes since I don't think knows if the L Ns have an unofficial translation to English yet.
The trope page for the show is now live.
