On Wednesday (14/3), Indonesian book Publisher Penerbit Haru reveals that they will publish the second book of the Classic Literature Club (Kotenbu) novel series in Indonesia, with the title Credit Roll of the Fool. The announcement is made in a post on their Instagram account which shows two different versions for the book’s cover, and fans can vote which cover they like. More information about the release date and price for the book has not been announced yet.
Previously, Penerbit Haru published the first novel in the series, Hyouka, in December 2017. The first novel also gets an Indonesian edition cover designed by Cynthia Yanetha, while Andry Setiawan translates the novel into Indonesian.
Written by Honobu Yonezawa in 2001, Hyouka tells the story of Hōtarō Oreki who was forced to join The Classic Literature Club in his new school by his sister. There, he met with various persons: Satoshi Fukube, the self proclaimed “database”; Mayaka Ibara, his acquaintance from middle school; and Eru Chitanda, a person full of curiosity. Oreki then got involved in a mystery from 33 years ago: about Chitanda’s Uncle, about what happen at the Kanya Festival at that year, and about the meaning of “Hyouka” itself.
The novel has inspired an anime adaptation in 2012 produced by Kyoto Animation and also a manga adaptation in the same year. The novel had also been adapted as a live action film that debuted in November 2017.
