Dunno if you are aware but the LNs got fully release in english, all the six volumes in 3 omnibus formats, just search amazon.com and you will find them, got mine from there.
Hello you seem to know much about this so I want to confirm something!
I noticed that the Japanese version has 7 volumes, but the english version only has 4 volumes. Is this correct? I don't want to miss anything >///<
I plan to buy the english one. Is 4 volumes all?
What I know is that, at first, there were only 6 volumes in Japan, and their produced to launch the english translation having 2 volumes per book, so what you see in english is actually omnibus release, with 3 books, 1 includes vol1&2 and so forth.
Volume 7 on japan seemed to be released after they released the 6 volumes in 3 books in the west, and sadly I dont think they plan to ever release 7th, which sucks...
But I have read only till the middle of the second book in the west (which makes me having to read and complete the first 3 volumes released in Japan), and I m under the assumption that the plot ends in volume 6, so 3rd book, and that volume 7 is just some extra stories or something... dont take my word for the last piece of info, but I m pretty sure about the rest.
The books are a decent value considering you are paying for 2 volumes per book, whereas for other LNs they usually release it 1 per book, all said, each volume in the west usually seems to be around 170-200 pages, and here with two volumes in one book for Seraph, you get an average of 300-310 pages per book, make your own conclusions.
Also the writting on these books is the best the series has ever seen, and since the writter has always been a LN writter, and Seraph was his first time writting for a manga as far as I m aware, it shows he know what he is doing when writting LNs.
Point is, any fans of the series that want to read more should get these books, I usually dont pay for stuff, but it was the only option here since fantranslation SUCKED, very poor editing, and the books are definitly worth it.
Actually I stopped at the best part, and was sidetracked with something else, but this is damm good writting and will leave the fans engaged and addicted to binge read.
Edit:
Seems I was wrong about 7th... it was already released in english (alone):
