86 Light Novel Reading Order Complete Volume Guide (2026)

The 86 (Eighty-Six) light novel series is currently ongoing, but it has officially entered its final stages. The series is scheduled to begin its final story arc on September 10, 2025.. From the 86 sub, the author said volume 7 was the midway. So, 13-15 volumes would be my guess. 11 volumes were translated. 12th is being released in Japan like the other said. I'd say the last volume should be translated by the end of next year.
