Volume 6?]]>@Perplexed no news. JNC typically don't comment. A few other manga have had long gaps this year of similar length, but they were in a more caught up state, so I had just chalked it up to licensing issues. Still could be the case here though, as sometimes problems do arise when trying to get approval for future volumes.

If you have not read it yet, I like to encourage people to give it a try despite the theme it is about might not sound that interesting.

Maybe it is of interest that the mangaka of Death Note are behind that series.

Why am I being reminded of that manga when thinking about certain light novels / discussing them is how the manga is giving an interesting perspective into the industry and how certain "manga paths" are developed.

As in what happens to them from early on, and then becoming anime etc.

The art and storytelling is as good as you would expect from the mangaka of Death Note.

And the similarities of how to create a successful manga with how to create a successful light novel I consider helpful in understanding some light novel-typical-peculiarities as the developement is quite similar once a light novel got picked up by the professionals.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel is available in English, in paperback. I've got the first 19 volumes. (Eight more to go...)

I'm not likely to be alive on (checks Amazon) January 2, 2079 when volume 20 and 21 are listed for publication, so I switched to buying the Japanese e-tanks.

Crunchyroll closing their manga section seems to have killed the official translation.

But wasn't 100% sure because some Manga/Anime gets a revamp and the whole series starts again.

Though, I agree. Doing something more to help others know it's a continuation of the series would help, IDK what they could do though. Maybe a disclaimer at the top, right after the title? saying something like

"Disclamer: No mistake on seeing Vol. 1-5 twice. After the First 1-5 volumes, the second set is under the new title "Demon Lord: Retry R", and is the continuation of the series."

Thats about the only thing I can think of, cause some people might not read the descriptions of the Volume they buy, or miss rhe giant "R" next to Demon Lord:Retry (I did lol). Then just think the second 1-5 are just a remastered version of the older ones.
