Recent English volumes have come out about every 9 months. The English edition runs about 1 year behind Japan. How we predict

Goblin Slayer Side Story: Year One in English so far

The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Dec 11, 2018 from Yen Press. In the 7.1 years since, 13 volumes have come out — one about every 7 months on average. The pace has slowed lately: recent volumes have come out about every 9 months. The longest wait was 1.6 years, between Vol. 5 and Vol. 6.

Japan is at Vol. 14 (Dec 25, 2025), so 1 volume is already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing it would take about 9 months.
