 Popular light novel series Zero no Tsukaima by now-deceased Noboru Yamaguchi has been announced to resume until completion. Publisher Media Factory will continue the light novel's publication in its MF Bunko J imprint.Noboru Yamaguchi died in 2013 at the age of 41, after more than two years of fighting cancer. The remaining plot and ending of the series were assigned to the series' editors by Yamaguchi on his sickbed. Noboru Yamaguchi began writing Zero no Tsukaima in 2004 with illustrations by Eiji Usatsuka. It was discontinued in 2011 with 20 volumes out of 22 planned volumes due to the surgery and treatment for his illness. A manga adaptation of the light novel by Nana Mochizuki began serialization in seinen magazine Comic Alive in June 2006, and it ended on October 2009 with seven volumes. Zero no Tsukaima previously received four TV anime adaptations and two specials. It also received three visual novels for PS2. The light novel was licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment for English release in 2007 but was later cancelled. Source: Official site |

| That's very cool of the publishers, even if they care mostly about money. I don't even know ZnT but props from me. |
  |
| It took 4 years to announce this? I don't know, I just think that this could be fake. money makes the world go around If this is indeed what the author intended, then great. I personally wouldn't like my favorite series written by someone else though, the writing style, the details, all that will be different, and more importantly, nobody knows a character better than the author himself. |

| Apparently his family also requested to have the novels finished. It was his life's work after all. I haven't read the novels, but reading this gives me some more motivation to start them. |
| Was never that interested in ZnT, but congrats to the fans who have been waiting all this time! |
| The 4th season of Zero no Tsukaima is the true ending of the franchise, making a sequel is completely unnecessary. |

| Wow never expected this to happen. I may not be a fan of the series but I felt for the fans, it's a shame the author passed away at a young age. I'm glad they are finishing it. |
 |
| Well I didn't expect that... Glad we'll get the ending he envisioned though as terrible as the franchise is, I've grown a soft spot for some of the characters. |
| welp. maybe it's about time i finish the anime. |
 |
| I like the idea of finishing the unfinished works of authors who can't ever finish the works themselves if the author gives his/her ideas to someone he trusts, someone who also knows his style of writing well. Considering the novel had 4 anime seasons, the novel had to be damn popular. And with only 2 volumes left from 22, there won't be much time to mess things up. I liked the anime and wouldn't mind seeing another season, especially with the ending the author had in mind. So I really hope they do a good work on these 2 volumes and make it as close to what the author wanted as possible. |
| If only someone would do this to kaze no stigma. |
| This light novel needs to be purged. Utter trash. |
"Hi!" |
| I feel sorry that the author died with cancer. No one deserves it. But I don't feel sorry for the fact that his novel sucks. I hope someone continues Kaze no Stigma. |
 |
| Not a fan of the novel. The anime is not enough for me to interested on it. I tried reading the first volume of the novel once out of boredom but after I completed volume 1, I totally lost interest continuing it. Great news to the fans but their are far more better LNs that deserve this instead. |
 |
| Heard about it yesterday, was very surprised but I'm curious as to how it turns out. Not sure it's really *needed* though but why the hell not Loli-Sazanami said: You know that was an anime original ending they made in order to make up for the fact that the author died before the series was over right? :sThe 4th season of Zero no Tsukaima is the true ending of the franchise, making a sequel is completely unnecessary. |
  |
| Was never interested, but that's huge news. I am pretty happy for it and for the fans of the serie i guess. Might give it a try, but it's not really my cup of tea ln wise. |

Maybe they wanted to get things right? The LN was far from godly, but it was still better than the last two seasons of the anime, so maybe I'll pick it up again. It's an entertaining enough read, and still better than some of the LNs that are popular nowadays... If only it would happen to Kaze no Stigma... *sigh* |
| Can't say I'm surprised about this. I'm sad that the author passed away though. |
 |
| Was never really interested with the series. No, never. But this one's a really good news. At least it will be continued even after his death. |

The author passed away half a year after the series was over. And IIRC, he wrote the script for the anime, just in case he would die before it was done airing, so if thatls true, then the ending is as canon as you can get, as far as the anime is concerned. Maybe the LN will deviate from that, we'll have to wait and see. Either way, I like the idea of the series finally coming to a full closure. Everyone wants it, including the fans, so I see no reason to not do it. Plus, it's a nice tribute to Yamaguchi. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Might watch the anime sometime later. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Always had mixed feelings for ZnT, but I think is still good news. The Series wasn't all that great IMO although it was still decent compared to all the clones we have these days and the series deserved an ending when it was so close to finishing. |
| This sure is an amazing signature! |
| This was one of my first ever harem series. Good to hear. |

 |
| Well, this is certainly good news...at least for the fans. |
| Pretty nice of them to honor the author with this, hope he got a nice end planned. |
 |
| Good news for the LN fans. Never really read the novel and just watched the franchise but both are canon anyways. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Despite how bad the series turned out to be partway through, I really enjoyed it. Been a long time since it's finished though. Anyway, I wonder if the last two volumes would get any sort of adaptation in the future. Not sure if I wanna read the LN |

StormNA said: I don't know how you can say the 4th season wasn't an ending, that's about as conclusive as you can get. I imagine the LNs will end much the same way. Probably because the vast majority of season 3 and 4 was pandering harem fanservice garbage. Granted, the LN is not innocent, but it at least tried to give a decent fantasy plot. |
| TOO MANY FEELS RIGHT NOW!!! Best news of the year for me, hope the author is in heaven all cheerful with this news too. Really surprising, now I m very eager to read it to the ending he wanted to create. xD |
 |
| I didn't even know the author died. RIP. Nice to see his/her works will continue existing even after passing away. |

A LN getting continuation after 2 years of author's death... From what I heard, the author wrote the ending already (someone correct me if I'm wrong though). The editor was entrusted with the rest of the work. |
|
| I don't want this. |
 |
| Nothing to really lose imo. It's not like we can get an official ending anyway. Might as well throw as much as they can against the wall and see what sticks at this point. |
 |
| The Anime was decent only this mega tsundere *SAITTOOOOOOO..SLAPSLAPSLAP" was annoying as hell. Totally overused. |
| Dear god. Never liked the anime and didn't know of the author's death until now, but this is still good news, I guess. |
 |
| There is big difference with how plot goes from LN and anime. I won't say anime ending canon with how the way LN progressing. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
