Provided that Kadokawa's online store isn't lying to us, anyway.

About time... I mean I suppose the insanely long wait is kind of understandable what with how the series has been on hiatus for literally years... but I have a distinct feeling that volume 3 will consist entirely of chapters that were published in like, 2008 or so. Well, and perhaps a bonus chapter, I guess.

Now provided that Izumi doesn't fall ill requiring another five-year hiatus, perhaps there might even be a chance of seeing a FOURTH volume before long too! I mean, I'm pretty sure the last chapter that came out was number 20... And the first two volumes combined had eleven chapters + extras... So they should have enough material for another volume before long...

...And the 26th of November has come and gone without any sign of volume 3... Hell, even the product-listing I linked to has vanished.

Hibiki no Mahou vol. 3: "Duke Nukem Forever".

And now it's back up on Kadokawa's site, with a listing for the 26th of February. The official Twitter-account for the series says the same thing. Plus, seeing how close that release-date is and that this announcement was made like, today, I can only assume that they've already at the very least got all the necessary files to print said volume by now.

So that's a thing that's happening. At last.

Thanks for updating this thread! I just remembered this series and wanted to see if it ever got any further. Now I'm wondering if the localization side of this manga is still going or not.

From what I understand, the company who localized it isn't publishing manga at all anymore, so... doubtful? Unless another company licenses it, but to be fair, this isn't exactly a hugely famous manga in the first place... So I guess scanlations will probably be the only option. And on that note, I really should get back to work on those, as I've still got a lot of chapters that need translating...

Oh, and incidentally Rei Izumi had an entry on her blog mentioning that they'll be taking a month off from their publication-schedule to work on volume 4. So that might also be coming out sometime in the not-too-distant future.
