How Not to Summon a Demon Lord in English so far

The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Jun 26, 2018 from Seven Seas. In the 8.3 years since, 25 volumes have come out — one about every 4 months on average. Recent volumes have kept close to that pace (about every 4 months). The longest wait was 7 months, between Vol. 15 and Vol. 16.

Japan is at Vol. 30 (Aug 7, 2026), so 5 volumes are already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing those would take about 1.7 years.
