I heard that the 86 light novel is on its final arc or something. I’m curious to start reading it! Is there an estimated end date for when the light novel will be finished? And I guess it would take time for the English translation to come out as well…

If anyone has any info about this it would be greatly appreciated!
I wish more people watched Chobits.

The author expected the serie to end at the 13rd volume yet the 13rd volume has been published in Japan and they are working on the 14th. The translantion's pace seems to be something like 9 months 1 year between JP and EN edition so if thinking reasonably with the current pace i would expect it to end in 2026-2028 making it around 2027-2029 for EN edition. (I expect something around 15 or 17 volumes in total at the end if they don't go for a ridiculously long story just to get more money)

The author mention Volume 15 will be the last volume.

Author is currently working on volume 14, he publishes a volume annually? I think? I rarely check on Dengeki Bunko. :/

Yen Press tends to be 1-2 years behind Japan (Dengeki Bunko), so probably 2027-2030? I dislike Yen Press for their slow publishing and common release dates postpones. :(
