Black Butler in English so far
The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Jan 26, 2010 from Yen Press. In the 16.8 years since, 35 volumes have come out — one about every 6 months on average. The pace has slowed lately: recent volumes have come out about every 11 months. Our predicted dates follow this slower pace. The longest wait was 1.5 years, between Vol. 33 and Vol. 34.
Japan is at Vol. 36 (Sep 26, 2026), so 1 volume is already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing it would take about 11 months.
