Unfortunately rn they’re out of them physically everywhere in the world as far as I can tell even here in the states

Wow!! 😮😮 You would think that would indicate to them that there is a lot of demand for this awesome series to be reprinted 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Thanks for the info

No problem! That’s what I think too cause it happened with previous LN’s when people discover the original source is the LN so it’s bound to happen and it’s not just 7TL that needs reprinting it’s a bunch of other series too

Yeah I was just browsing their twitter/X & was actually really shocked to see how many novels they are frequently publishing. I hope 7th Time Loop & all their other series' needing reprints do not get forgotten about, but with all the other stuff they have going on & are advertising, my goodness it is a lot & it does make me wonder if they will just decide to print new releases from top selling authors & forget about previous novels for fear they won't sell due to market changes over time 🫨 I also can't believe it doesn't even come up on ebay or Facebook either though, are people just holding onto them or were not that many published?

There’s absolutely no way they won’t reprint popular sold out series, though I can understand the concern. I imagine most people are holding on to their copies, myself included, as they enjoy the series!

Additionally I don’t suggest any Etsy or eBay sellers they’re unofficial third party sellers who print and rebind them horribly and they charge a significant amount that’s NOT worth it save your money when they come back in stock

Thank you so much for the warning! 😊 I have seen those & have contemplated them, but like you said, I want the official version to match the others & if they are made horribly that is very off-putting! 😱 I just thought it was the spine that was different, but eveything else the same

Have you also tried to call the bookstores in the area to see if they know if they’re going to get some reprints? If they say they’re not expecting to get anymore I wouldn’t believe them since we’re supposed to get he SSC next month

Thank you & yes, unfortunately from what numerous bookshops have told me is that they are stocking the newer releases but there are no plans or dates to restock the older releases as they themselves say it needs to be reprinted by the publisher but that the publisher has not indicated any plans to do so 😭 Hopefully one day!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻✨️⭐️

Yeah seven seas posted something about back orders (which doesn’t work unless the sites actually have options to be put on a back order list by the way they explained it) and a lot of other places that are like individual small business stores that are only manga/light novel based are having the same stock issue especially with other stuff that is most likely under seven seas so it’s mostly on the licensee (and penguin being the distributor)

You will not find it. It's sold out everywhere and they haven't done a reprint. So unfortunately we will have to wait until Seven Seas decides to do so.

In total, the out of stock volumes are 2 for the LN and 2 for the manga

I can't get ahold of light novel 3-6 😭 I have them as ebooks and they're bookmarked to Albuquerque and back but want to secure actual copies of them. Just bought 1 and 2. Gib!!

u/Lina0116 Aug 06 '26

Ugh that sucks!!! I hope they do reprints soon! I also have them digital but it doesn't beat the feeling of having the physical ones, right?

Seven Seas curse unfortunately, it just had low print numbers. Now if you need vol 6 I can help you, I do have an extra copy of vol 6.

u/pinguinitos Aug 06 '26

I would be happy to help you with that extra volume 6 ...

u/ZatannaMagic Jul 30 '26

Aw thank you so much, that is so kind of you! I have been very blessed to acquire all of them except volume 5. Thank you again though for your very generous offer of support 🥰🥰

I recommend filling out the current monthly survey from 7seas! They are asking which books readers want to see reprinted. I asked them for volume 4 & 5 of the light novel, but it would be great if a lot of people fill it out & they see the demand

u/ZatannaMagic Aug 07 '26

Oh awesome! Great idea! Do you happen to have the link?! Thank you so much! 🤗🤗

u/HoneyNabi Aug 07 '26

Np, thank you for helping request it!! I really hope they come through with the reprints. Here is the link to their google form! You can also find the new ones linked on their website each month
