Where's the English volume of volume 4+?

I read the first 3 volumes in English and really enjoyed the series (pre-ordered then as well which is very unusual for me as I usually wait for a price drop).

Anyway, I've been waiting for volume 4 to be released in English,.but there has been no announcement or preorder listings for it.

As the author is quite famous, it seems strange to have only translated the first 3 books and then stop. Is there a licencing issue causing the delays or something else? As nothing has been announced by any of the publishers or the original author...

The translation probably got canceled due to low sales, this unfortunately happens from time to time, just wish publishers would properly communicate this with fans.

@itsdreo damn, I was really enjoying the series. I haven't heard of a publisher infamous for cancelling series for a long time (the last two were Tokyopop and Viz Media).

Probably best to avoid Vertical's books from now on...

Thanks for letting me know! 🐺👍

@Murasaki0kami Always happy to help!

As far as I'm aware Vertical only had an issue with canceling Light novels prematurely. The thing is tho that Vertical doesn't exist anymore and is now part of Kodansha. So yeah be skeptical of there LN releases.
