German distributor KSM Anime picked up the rights to the Atelier Escha & Logy ~Alchemists of the Dusk Sky~ series back in August 2016 and previously set their release plans for it. The show is getting a two-volume release where the first volume landed on May 15th, 2017 and now the second volume has been set for a July 17th, 2017 debut. Originally, plans had them set for August 21st and October 12th, 2017. It does look like that it’s going to be dubbed with GlobaLoc handling that adaptation for the company with the German edition getting a 5.1 bump.

Having learned the latest teachings in Central, young Logy makes his way to the woefully understaffed town of Colset to make use of his knowlodge. There he meets Escha, the local apprentice girl in the Research and Development Department. Logy, a seasoned user of alchemy, is astonished by Escha’s radical use of technique in her own alchemic endeavors.
