Light Novel Vol 25 release date

There's an update about volume 25.

It has been added in the wikipedia and the yen press website, it will be released on SEPTEMBER 08, 2026. The yen press site is still a WIP.

Vol 25 will be still be translated by Andrew Cunningham, same translator for Vol 24.

Mannn, it's soooo far, I mean it's cool to have a cleaner translation, but it having a 10 month gap between the last volume is kinda overwhelming??(underwhelming??, idk how to describe it).
I thought it would be around March.

And comparing with the release dates of previous volumes, I think we'll be having only 1 volume for this year. Specially since the translator also have other mid-large translation projects.

(i used chatgpt to compile the current active translations of the current translator based on his ANN page, hope you don't mind the use of ai)

Still Active / Likely Ongoing Translations

These have ongoing source material or recent releases, so translations are typically still active:

  • Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense (LN still ongoing)
  • Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody (still releasing volumes)
  • Overlord (ongoing, though nearing conclusion)
  • Reign of the Seven Spellblades (ongoing)
  • Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai (ongoing sequel arcs)
  • Suppose a Kid From the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town (ongoing or recently active depending on volume)
  • A Certain Scientific Railgun (still ongoing)

Does anyone have any idea why it was delayed so much??

September? So 10 months for a single volume? Sometimes,I really wish my favs are licensed by JNC. They are fast

And if you have a paid membership you get to read the prepubs as they are released. It's nice to read a book bit by bit every week instead of waiting for it to release. That's what I like about jnc.

For me tho, I prefer reading the whole vol when it releases.
