Recent English volumes have come out about every 6 months. The English edition runs about 1.1 years behind Japan. How we predict

KonoSuba in English so far

The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Nov 22, 2016 from Yen Press. In the 9.8 years since, 21 volumes have come out — one about every 6 months on average. Recent volumes have kept close to that pace (about every 6 months). The longest wait was 11 months, between Vol. 11 and Vol. 12.

Japan is at Vol. 23 (Aug 7, 2026), so 2 volumes are already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing those would take about 1.1 years.
