18th volume will be the last

Light novel author Tsukasa Kawaguchi announced on Tuesday that the Lord Marksman and Vanadis light novel series will end with the 18th volume, which is slated for this year. Kawaguchi originally planned to end the series with the 17th volume.

Kawaguchi launched the light novel series in 2011 with art by Yoshi☆wo. Media Factory published the 16th volume (pictured right) on January 25 and the 17th volume is slated for July 25. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed Nobuhiko Yanai's manga adaptation and is releasing it in North America.

Funimation Entertainment streamed the 13-episode anime adaptation, which premiered in October 2014, and released the series on DVD and Blu-ray with an English dub in February 2016.
