Publishing label Gagaga Bunko announced on Friday that it will release the 12th light novel volume of romance comedy series Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. on September 20, 2017. The previous volume in the series (pictured) was released more than two years ago.

Synopsis
That answer should be put into words. Even if you know that you will regret that choice. Yukino, Yui, and Hachiman make a commitment to confirm each other's feelings and take a new step forward. What are the answers that each has chosen for the others and for themselves?

Wataru Watari began writing the series, also known by its short name Oregairu, in 2011 with illustrations by Ponkan 8. The latest release marks the beginning of the final chapter in the series, which has sold a cumulative 6 million copies in Japan. Oregairu ranked first in the annual "Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!" (This Light Novel is Amazing!) poll of readers and industry insiders for three consecutive years between 2014 and 2016.

Oregairu was adapted into two television anime series in 2013 and 2015. North American publisher Yen Press began releasing the light novels in English in 2016 under the title My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected.

Praise the Lord for this announcement! However, it's been quite some time since reading volume 11.5. We kept hearing news that the author's original draft was being delayed. Now please Wataru-san stick to one series and you won't hear me complaining.

I don't think there is enough material that can adapted for a single season, otherwise you're looking for it to be stretched significantly. The second season adapted 10 volumes iirc and with no.12 being announced, maybe we'll get an OVA or two that can conclude the series. Of course a full season is more optimal but production committees have the final say.
All credit goes to Sacred.

As long as Iroha got her best moments again, I'm fine with however the foregone conclusion is delivered.

Is there a chance that the story is going to turn into a re-master of A.N.O.T.H.E.R.?

Well the thing is I don't really care much for the fact that if they do end up shipping up with Yukinon I really couldn't give a lot of shit to it, besides... while I do like everyone, I more lean to her due to her personality (yes she's kind of a bitch but she does have her sweet side later on).

And to be honest, as I said prior... I don't really see it as a romance purely, its more so leaning towards drama/comedy/school for me. But that's my perspective.

That's the better perspective since it's the shipping issues that mainly ruined the fanbase. You see constant insults hurling at one another especially in sites like reddit, etc whenever there is a character discussion or even any serious discussion of those sorts, especially Iroha/Yukino. It was fun banters early on but nowadays it has just grown cancerous and people just like to badmouth the rival ship(those two especially).

No, the solicitation indicates 物語は最終章へ which points to moving toward a conclusion, the final chapter. This is different from 最終巻 which would indicate final volume.

Being real ever since a specific point where I kind of participated in a waifu war I got very much sick of it. Because generally these type of stuff are the type the fanbase creates themselves to begin with (at least to me). Yes, you can argue that the author would have prevented that if the author had not "iniciated" something that has vented or started the flame, but at the end of the day, I think the people would make a bigger fuzz about it and then it goes to where it can become from something ironic and fun, to just something that would go for someone to become really defensive over something. And besides, an author doesn't have the magic touch to control a fanbase honestly. Authors do what they do (I will see someone just say they can do whatever they want but that doesn't stop them from criticizing said author, but that's another matter).

This really much applies to everything really but still. As a person that really likes OreGairu, I'm really much the type to just have this type of mindset, and probably general when it comes to romance. There are exceptions to this of course, but its just something completely pointless to fight about.

Just like my friend Rami said while the Re:Zero threads were going on with the waifu wars:

"They're like brave soldiers fighting to death in a pointless war."

So in other words they're just trying to end a volume, not the entire series. Am I correct?

I can say for sure "let the best girl win" in this one as I really don't care who wins in the end since I love all three female characters (I didn't believe I would ever come to love Iroha as much as Yukinon and Yui) in the story and I love the story because of how it can be seen as a social commentary just like One Punch Man.

Don't worry. I don't really care that much about you. I just don't like how you're throwing shade on other parts of the fandom while pretending like your hands are clean. The only reason I saved that is because I figured the two of you would be back in the threads again.

Not sure if this means final volume, or final arc. Either way, it was obvious that the series is ending soon. I've been waiting years, and now its finally confirmed... Watari finally thought of a conclusion! I never really read the series for the romance so I couldn't really care about who Hikigaya picks. I'm just here for the more 8man goodness.

Yeah my part was about insulting specific people at forums like in oregairu fanbase subreddit, banters like those what I did are common in r/anime in every discussion. What I talk in com to com with another is of no concern to you yeah, you can sleep easy man.

Finally vol.12 is coming! I am also glad to hear that this isn´t its final volume (at least from what I understood), since I don´t want to see the ending rushed. As for shippings go, I am pretty chill with whatever Watari decides to 8man´s future (considering that his writing doesn’t disappoint).... even if he goes for the loner route.

Oh god, I'm both relieved and saddened. Relieved that we finally get news on a new release, since it's been like two years. Saddened that I can't believe it's ending already and the possibility of another season is practically impossible because of the lack of material. Hoping for OVAs or a movie to properly conclude the anime version.

Either way, I can't wait for the release, and I hope for a suitable and decent conclusion!

I'd prefer that too, especially with how the Haruhi movie was handled by KyoAni. If this isn't the final volume and there is one more in the works, it's potentially viable to do a 2hr-ish long movie without massive cuts from the source material.

Oregairu has such a pale adaptation compared to its source, hope they don't adapt the final chapter and butcher the series. It is easily the best manga/LN I have ever read.

Damn man, 8man set the standards so high that I have never liked any protagonist much since.

There's a doujinshi featuring Yui that she's dating 8man....
