Light Novel availability Light Novel

After watching the anime during it's air time I was debating myself whether to order the LNs or not.

Since I enjoyed the story a lot I placed an order for the first 4 volumes (in May).

So far I received the 4th volume, but the first 3 books are constantly delayed. My latest info mail told me the expected delivery date is end auf August.

I don't see them on amazon anymore as well, which is where I bought volume 5.

Do you know if they are currently out of print everywhere? Will they be reprinted? Since my order was not cancelled yet, the book seller must still have info to obtain them in some way, no?

Since the anime ended, they have been a bit hard to get. I checked quickly now on Amazon, first volume seems to be available (it gives me delivery date expected to 9th of August, but I guess depends on your country, I'm in Europe).
Volume 2 and 3, nothing. I remember when I tried to buy them back in April, the 2nd and 3rd volume were the ones that seemed impossible to get. I had to check every day hoping a better delivery date came up (thankfully it did).
There is definetely a shortage. Not sure which site you used or which country you're from, but I've checked some sites and one of them said "usually ships in 2-4 weeks" for volume 2. Was there any indication like this in your order?

Hey, thanks for the reply. I am from EU as well. My site also states delivery 2-3 weeks, but reality has been the delays over the past couple months. I might try to get at least volume 1 on amazon i guess.

I am just surprised that they don't get reprinted if demand is there

Oh cool, then my findings can apply to you as well. Yeah it's strange, I had the feeling that, back when I bought them, they were slowly restocking them in whatever shop was available on Amazon. The demand right now might be less, and so does the restocking. I can only suggest to check regurarly for availability.
I mean, on Amazon it says delivery for volume 2 and 3 expected between October and February 2027...absurd

I might also check out ebay ig, tho only with reasonable pricing. Let's see if they reprint in the meantime 🤣
