        For those who may want something so you can judge this one in some way, there is an Anime from 2003 and the new anime from 2017. the Author also Wrote SAO Alt: GGO, which has an Anime adaption and we are getting the LN from Yen On.

        And Boy I really wish this is "A license 'rescue'" from the LN announcement Hints.

          I want these to get licensed so badly! Please make it happen with the new Kadokawa deal, I feel like you guys are my only hope to ever see this translated!

            Well We got mongatari series in english which is from 2007,then we have ZAregoto series in english(just 2 volumes for now) which is from 2002 and toradora in english from 2006, these titles are decade old and polular ones monogatari series is still running so why Kino no Tabi woudn´t get licenced? I would be shocked if some company is overlooking this masterpiece!!!!

              The main difference is Monogatari has huge fandom and ongoing anime (Kizu was licensed at the time of the US' 1st Kizu movie release.)

              Zaregoto was licensed cuz of success of Monogatari (same can be said about Katanagatari and Juni Taisen) and the new anime.

              Kino's a title that was licensed before, its fandom ain't as big and loud as other fandoms either.
              (Well, in this new state of the market, if your fandom is loud enough as Mushoku Tensei, you can get anything lol)

                @bloodygaikotsu it was licenced in a bad time where light novels weren´t that popular and now is the opposite they are popular so now it could be a great time to bring us this series

                  You're misunderstanding smth.
                  Yeah, the market was unstable back then but that doesn't mean it has to be the sole reason for every lost license.

                  What assures it to the company that it wouldn't have been a flop whatever the market state is.
                  I am just saying that it ain't as easy as u think...

                      Now that I look at Japanese Kino no Tabi I see that the Volumes are very short like 260 pages,240 pages and even 1 volumes have 208 pages and if that many pages are translated it could have at least 144 pages if I am not wrong even less :( Well I don´t mind that they are short at least they are very enjoyable and JNC would translated 21 volumes in a FLASH :D

                          No, only the first volume was released by TokyoPop, back in 2006. Aaand they rearranged the chapters to put them all in chronological order.

                          All in all, it's better we pretend that release never happened...

                            @korppi yeah Tokyopop screw up Kino´s Journey with rearanging chapter and making their own cover and the color pages weren´t even included there and because of this all Japanese Publisher was pretty angry with it and since then we have nothing because of Tokyopop

                                      @yumenokage most likely has something to do with this:

                                        I think when he said "come and gone", he was referring to the anime.
                                        All these old stuff coming back usually have a new upcoming anime, cuz marketing a novel series by a new ongoing (or recently finished) anime is the easiest marketing scheme for these titles

                                        FMP anime just ended last summer
                                        Kino, that was in 2017 (Too long has passed)

                                            I was wondering when a new volume would release.
