Sword Art Online: Re:Aincrad in English so far

The English edition started with Vol. 1 on May 21, 2024. In the 1.7 years since, 4 volumes have come out — one about every 7 months on average. The longest wait was 9 months, between Vol. 3 and Vol. 4.

Japan is at Vol. 6 (Apr 10, 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. The next Japanese volume, Vol. 7, is out in Japan on Dec 10, 2026.
