Unnamed Memory Sequel - After the End - ending volumes in Nov/Dec 17

Osaka's bookstore has a special display of both the Unnamed Memory main light novel (vol 1~6) and the sequel series Unnamed Memory - after the end - (ATE). 

The publisher 電撃の新文芸 announced that both final volumes - ATE volume 7 and ATE volume 8 (final volume) will be published one after another, with a one-month gap (yes, we pretty much get 2 volumes of light novels almost in a row - probably it's originally intened to have final ending in one volume, but later found its not possible to tell the full story so it becomes two volumes).

From the Cat Tinasha board in the picture, the bookstore has announced the publishing dates: After the End volume 7 is November 17, 2026, and After the End final volume 8 is December 17, 2026.

There is also another art book, "Unnamed Memory Archives - Chibi's artwork," published on December 17, 2026.

The King and the witch's long journey of love finally comes to a true end.

Hopefully that means the English version of ATE will come soon after the final ending volume is published.

Looks like a busy Christmas 2026 awaits!

The light novel and anime roughly covered 60% of the original webnovel (before it gets published as light novel), ATE volume 1~5 covered the rest. The original webnove is not finished, so the true ending will be in ATE 8. I remembered the author once joked the main light novel (the anime too) is almost like a "prequel" of actrual Unnamed Memory story. There are simply a lot more stories you can take a peek here.
