X English release FAQ

Will there be more X volumes in English?

Nothing has been announced. The English edition from Viz Media stopped at Vol. 18, released May 10, 2005, about 21.5 years ago. That already covers all 18 volumes out in Japan, so a new English volume would first need a new Japanese one. If a publisher announces a new volume, we'll add the date here.

How many volumes of X are there?

X has 18 volumes in Japan so far. 18 volumes are out in English as of November 2026 (the latest is Vol. 18, released May 10, 2005).
