Keep dreaming, they probably will announce it when the LN going to "end" which is soon lmao.

And it probably going end soon.
Maybe in this late 2018 if the story wasn't dragged.

Alright I will wait then

Imo at this point if the people actually more appreciate good stuff than trending isekai idk getting full adaptation instead an advertisement.

Loli LN lose to incest bait LN? Pretty sure Japan is in ruins now.

Well of course its not going to sell as much, Mahouka has been a powerhouse in the LN industry for several years now.

To suggest that everyone in Japan is not lolicon. Truly blasphemous!

It'll probably end around vol 30 at the current rate. The author already said he planned on covering their entire high school years, and they're only about a 1/3 into their third year right now.

so its dragged?
I heard the LN going to Climax soon.
So say author going to fill 1-2 volume with a proper closing?

I wouldn't say dragged, but anyways theirs no question that the series is getting closer to the end, but definitely not in 1 -2 volumes. Just with all the things going on in the story right now, it would be impossible to finish it with that many volumes. Also the climax for the current story arc is in the next volume, not the series itself. This is where I think the confusion that mahouka was ending really soon came from.

3rd year in japan is much shorter tho...

Mahouka magic school terms aren't exactly the same as real life tbh, but besides that most of Mahouka's content has been taking place outside of high school, so a shorter school year won't really effect the length at this point into the story. To give some perspective, their 3rd Year started at volume 21 and we're on volume 24(plus volume 25 coming out next month) and its only June, so only a little over a month has passed in 4 going on 5 volumes in the mahouka timeline.
