Sword Art Online (light novel)
| Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew when the first light novel would be released in english, I would like to pick it up and read but I don't really feel like reading it online, I would much rather wait for it to be release in book form in english. Since I don't speak Japanese I have no other choice but to wait and buy the book once it's released online. So yeah if anyone knows I would love to know. Thanks! |

| Hey There, Light Novels don't really get released in English. The only light novel that has been released in English that I know of is Shakugan no shana but due to low sale they stop after volume 3? 4? something like that. Only the Japanese "version" is out at the moment the only way to read them is to learn Japanese or go read it online but if you have e-book, i-device or something like that you could download them and read them like that. Sorry but that's all I can say |

Sorry but that's all I can say mhhh.. Really? Theres bunch of light novels that have been released in english, although it is a few years after the original release. Like Haruhi Suzumiya, zero no tsukaima, Ookami to Koushinryou, Toradora! to name a few, but there is a lot more. |

| http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Sword_Art_Online ^currently it's pretty much the best thing you can read it from. VIZ's CEO did say he had faith in light novel, considering SAO was pretty popular out of Japan we might expect a release some time soon, but that being said, it has yet to be license by any English distributor. |

I guess Ill just wait and see if anything happens with that, if not Ill have to resort to reading it online. |

| Man.. just started reading the LNs a month ago D: I got to volume 6 so far and was really happy that it was only half of the current volumes available.. are they going to translate until volume 1 gets released or are they just keeping the translations online until then? I sure hope they would be able to translate the 13th volume before the time runs out.. I'll probably buy the English releases if the price is reasonable, but it will take ages until they are up to date, so I want to at least get everything available now. |

No news on if they will continue til the first volume is relesed. I will get them also if the price is good. If the books are released like the Haruhi Suzumiya Light Novels, also released by Yen Press, the hardcover will be $15 and paperback will be $9. Since prices have been rising for manga and such recently, especially from Yen Press, they could be $1-2 more, though. |
