Sound! Euphonium

can't J-novel buy Sound! Euphonium
there is only 1 novel of it and there is big fanbase of it
I believe it's quite good deal for J-novel

This novel is already published by Yen Press:
https://yenpress.com/9780316559805/sound-euphonium-light-novel/
You will want to contact them about any other novels in the same series that you would like to see published in English.

10 volumes, according to MAL.As @myskaros reports, it is licensed by Yen Press.
The fandom is majorly unhappy with Yen Press, as they haven't done anything since publishing the first volume back in June of 2017.
But until their license lapses there's nothing to be done other than contacting them [politely] and expressing an interest in their translating additional volumes. -
@Geezer-Weasalopes Is this really the case?
First, from what I can tell, Euphonium wasn't regular light novel.
Then, regardless of whether it is regular light novel or not, I am in an understanding that Japanese publishers usualy do not license all the volumes in a series at once, but rather give out their license a few volumes at once.
Is there really nothing other publishers can do for the time being? -
Would be great to see J-Novel try and see if they could pick up the rest of the series as Yen Press don't seem to want to get the rest of the licenses and now that they have a print partnership with J-Novel maybe this would be easier to sort out where J-Novel does the translation and digital and Yen Press does a print version so Yen Press still has a hand in the licence? Plus with the new anime series coming out there might be renewed interest in it?
