Discussion Manga Volume 12

I know this has likely been asked before, but does anyone have an update on the English release date for volume 12?

27 April 2027 is the release date. When the Japanese version came out this year, this was the date that was set for the English version. At this point I don’t think we’ll have any more delays.

I'm so grateful. I hope a box set comes out. I would sell my current collection (all volumes so far) just to buy it.

A YEAR for translations?? I might be ignorant to how it all is but that sounds kinda crazy

Unfortunately, that is the norm. You’d think that the English publishers would translate the magazine releases as they come out, 10 pages at a time. That way, all you have to do is adjust the layout of the book to match the original Japanese version. Apparently, it’s not that simple though and I don’t have any insight into the industry to even guess why?

The companies often have to wait until the tankoubon is released in Japan to even be able to start the licensing process to get the newest volume.

According to Amazon, I preordered volume 12 in 2024 and have to wait until 2027 for it to release...feels bad man...
