Zero No Tsukaima (Zero's Familiar): The Novel Series


The continent of Halkaginia is tumultuous--a place where the various Kingdoms, Princedoms, Dukedoms, and Fiefdoms strive against each other to expand their domains. The nobility scheme and plot among themselves to gain influence amongst their lieges or even foreign lieges. In the middle of Halkeginia is the small but important Kingdom of Tristain (Tristania). The most notable fact about this Kingdom is the Tristain Academy of Magic where nobility from all over the world come to study magic. Although friendships form across national boundaries at this school, will they survive the politics and games of the world at large once they leave?

At the Tristain Magic Academy, her classmates call bumbling witch-in-training Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere "Louise the Zero." During an important coming-of-age ritual, when each student must summon their own witch’s familiar, Louise confirms her classmates’ opinion by accidentally conjuring up a normal teenage boy from Japan. Whether the two of them like it or not, the laws of magic bind them as master and servant forever !

Follow Saito and Louise on their hilarious and hair raising adventures with their 'friends' (Read and you'll know what I mean ;-) ) and 'secret missions' (Given by the princess of Tristania; She has some 'ulterior' motives ;-) ) ... And of course follow the amazing love story intertwined in all this hullaballu!!!

This novel is so well written that the once the storyline grasps you, you will be lost in the myriad emotions of the story. You will gasp in surprise, cry with happiness , shed tears of sorrow, do 'Awww' (when it's cute), and of course don't forget to LAUGH YOUR BUTTS OFF!!! XD

Available below for download are the pdf versions of the translation work that has been done uptil now by Baka-Tsuki. All the credit should go to them. All the following releases are published under the TLG Translation Common Agreement v.0.4.1.

  1. Dear Protik:

    Thanks so much for posting all these wonderful manga & e-books. I got hooked on the Zero no Tsukaima manga & thought I would read the light novel the manga is based upon. I am delighted to find the completed translations (to date) compiled on your site! I have downloaded it all to begin reading, but noticed in Volume 10 that the link for Chapter 4 is also Chapter 5 (i.e., Chapter 4 won't download). Thought you'd like to know so that you can update the link to the correct Chapter 4 in Volume 10.

    Again, no criticism implied - I'm most grateful for the great service you do for all of us in your web site.

    Best regards,

    Cliff8Q

  3. What does Baka-tsuki think about the fact that you're putting up their scanlated LN's on your blog?

  4. If you read the TLG Translation Common Agreement v.0.4.1 it states that I can post their scanlations as long as I give them credit, put up the TLG Translation Common Agreement v.0.4.1 link and not change any of their releases.... Also I used be on their Tora-Dora team (Sigh... Not anymore, I just didn't hve the time) so I know all the rules :).... For all the rules check the TLG agreement.... :)

    Cheerio!!
