      Anyone got any idea how many volumes Seven Seas' Wicked City has? The film's wiki page says 6, but I'd prefer more sources before committing to that number...
      EDIT: Nevermind.

          @doublemangekyo Infinite Stratos will end with volume 13, you can change that 12+ to a 13 if you want ;)

            @terabyte Yeah, I know IS vol.13 will be the last. My list only covers volumes that are already released. Oregairu will end with vol.14 and there's a bunch of available pre-orders I haven't included. That's just how I decided to do it.

            If other users here prefer I include future JP releases, I'll change it, but for now it stays as is.

              @terrence That's way more compact and concise than my list. Just out of curiosity, what do the total counts look like? One of the most common complaints leveled against YP is their glacially slow of translation. It would be interesting to see if their overall translation percentage is lower as well.

                @doublemangekyo Amazing list, thank you! Does Viz’s Slum Online count as a light novel? It was the only thing here I could see missing that isn’t long out of print (such as Tokyopop stuff)

                ETA: Also the Boy and the Beast adaptation from Yen On.

                  Also does Viz’s LoGH series count? Or is that too much of a novel since no illustrations?

                    To be honest, I just picked titles that were animated in some way or had ties to popular creators (like All You Need is Kill has a manga version by Takeshi Obata).
                    But, after thinking it over some more, I don't really consider VIZ a LN publisher. And considering how much stuff they've dropped, I don't even want them on my list anymore. So I'm moving their stuff to this post here.

                    VIZ Media:

                    All You Need Is Kill - 1 / 1
                    Death Note: Another Note - The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases - 1 / 1
                    Genocidal Organ - 1 / 1
                    Harmony - 1 / 1
                    Juni Taisen: Zodiac War - 1 / 1
                    Legend of the Galactic Heroes - 10 / 10
                    Mardock Scramble [3-in-1 omnibus] - 1 / 1
                    Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots - 1 / 1
                    Naruto True Chronicles - 3 / 3
                    NieR:Automata - 2 / 2
                    Tokyo Ghoul - 3 / 3
                    Fullmetal Alchemist - 6 / 6
                    Naruto - 2 / 3 (dropped)
                    Naruto Secret Chronicles - 3 / 6 (dropped)
                    Shakugan no Shana - 2 / 22 (dropped)

                    EDIT: Moving the Kodansha Books list here as well. I can't be bothered to keep it updated anymore.

                    Kodansha Books:

                    5 Centimeters per Second: one more side - 1 / 1
                    Am I Actually the Strongest? - 0 / 5+
                    As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World - 0 / 3+
                    Attack on Titan: Before the Fall - 3 / 3
                    Attack on Titan: The Harsh Mistress of the City - 2 / 2
                    Attack on Titan: Lost Girls - 1 / 1
                    Attack on Titan: End of the World - 1 / 1
                    The Dark Maidens - 1 / 1
                    The Dawn of the Witch - 0 / 5+
                    The Ghost in the Shell: Five New Short Stories - 1 / 1
                    Katanagatari [3-in-1 omnibus] - 4 / 4

                    Monogatari Series: Final Season - 6 / 6
                    My Unique Skill Makes Me OP even at Level 1 - 0 / 7+

                        Book Girl is my most favourite light novel! It needs more appreciation! ;_;

                        and ooooh I didn't know Pita-ten got a light novel. I remember crying so hard in the manga. Haha I'm embarrassed just thinking about it...
