Actually, the first three volumes have been translated by Yen Press with volume four coming at month-end.

I was thinking of leave Vol04 in stand-by, having Dendrogram v11 and Isolator v05 incoming.
Now I got renewed reason to read it as soon as possible

A-1... Hmm... Sounding better with each passing day.
Now I can possibly hope for something nice out of it.
And this coming from one who kinda dislikes tragedy.

Cover for volume 8 which's scheduled for May 9, 2020.

Spoiler for image:

Just finished Volume 3.

This novel is amazing. It really emphasizes the saying "war is hell" not just to those who fight, but also those who were left behind.

I really hope the upcoming anime will not disappoint.

Manga spin-off Gakuen 86" chapter 1 already translated

Just finished volume 7, a peacful, slow-paced volume without any action is quite nice once in a while

So just talking? Is that actually entertaining? Because I'm writing my own story and thinking if the first volume having no fights would be entertaining or not.

IMO, your Vol01 should have some action, if to entice the readers.

Ah good, good. I was deciding between action and no action.

Volume 7 was so peaceful that I´m scared what hellhole Spear Head Squadron is going to end up next volume!.

[Sparteh]

Saw that Sawano was working on 86 anime. Smelled potential and decided to get myself a copy...
Seriously, vol 1 was so good! I haven't read JP ln that good in years.

Guys,
I watched the anime and really liked so I'm thinking in reading the LN.
I'm not sure if I should wait for the anime to end and start from where it stopped or read the light novel from the beginning.
What do you guys think? How was the adaptation so far compared to the original? Will I miss too much if I don't start the light novel from the beginning?

The author's commentary on Twitter is 10/10. Complete gunji otaku there

[RDNexus]

What commentary?
It might be interesting...

I recommend you read from the beginnig. While anime does justice to to novel so far, novel is still better imo. Especially volume 1 itself is amazing. I think you should experience it.
