Hayakawa Publishing will release the Japanese edition of qntm's 'There Is No Antimemetics Division' on July 15. The novel is a sci-fi horror story set in a secret organization that contains and researches anomalous entities, focusing on antimemes that erase themselves from human perception and memory. The work was serialized on the SCP Foundation website from 2015 and later gained a commercial release in the US and UK in 2025, which the author fully revised and rewrote. The Japanese edition translates that revised version. Hayakawa Publishing notes that elements tied directly to the SCP Foundation have been replaced, restructuring the work as a 'sci-fi × special agency × spy thriller' aimed at a broader readership.
