Index Light Novels have been licensed by Yen Press
Yen Press has announced that they've licensed the Index Light Novels. This thread can be used to discuss this news, and information up to and after the release begins.
I would also like to remind everyone that, as with all licensed works, it is no longer permissible to link to or discuss any unofficial translations. You may still discuss what happens in the recent novels (and we will still create threads for recent novel volumes as they come out), but you may not discuss how to unofficially read them in English whether in a public thread, in social groups, or even by private message on this site.

How does this work if the official novel is more than 20 volumes away from the latest?
Surely, I doubt a lot of people would discuss the very first volume of Index. That has been done to death a long time ago.

I doubt anyone will discuss the first series in this subforum actually. Half of it has been covered by the anime, and certain arcs have been adapted in various forms over and over again.

Well I guess the only thing that'll be talked about here is the presentation of the books, the only LN I have from Yen Press is a Haruhi book (although it's the cheaper paperback book with an alternate cover) and from what I can tell the pictures came out nice and it was easy to read through.

I'd put more faith in them than any other publication to do this. They're aware of what they got into.

A lot of people assume that only OT was counted. But then again, that might just be people expecting Yen Press to be reasonable enough not to bog down on the series even more by including New Testament to their license.

If you had asked me before I went to bed last night whether Index would ever get licensed I would decisively said no... Now... Now I'm not so sure if anything is impossible... |

Let's see ... I kinda happy TAMnI get licensed, but it also bad news. But, I highly doubt Yen Press gonna licensed NT. Since The way I see it. NT considered as separated pieces of TAMnI, even though it part of TAMnI.
And ... I don't want Nt to stop, it's getting epic |

In my country, we got LC for Index novel for a while now. The publisher who LC-ed it released 7 translated volumes in the last year. (They plan to release at least 6 volumes per year.)
Reaching the lastest volume in Japan is not a dream.
