Full Metal Panic Novels Licensed!!

Post by momiji_k »

I just found out that the FMP light novels have FINALLY been licensed!! :D :bounce:

I can't wait to read them all, but sadly since there are so many It's going to be a painful wait. I think there are 17 so far (or somewhere around there).

They were licensed by Tokyopop.

Hey, if you hear anything about it, drop us a line! I've been looking to see if there is any news about that, but none so far.
It is not a problem! :salute:

Okay, don't quote me - I don't have a reliable source - but I've heard that the first book will be released September 2008. (the guy at my anime/manga store thought maybe December 08, so I tell myself that it's earlier than I thought!)

I actually just read that it would be some time in September on the Tokyopop forums last night. So I think Septmember is safe to hope for. I can't wait and I hope they will crank them out pretty quickly. We have a lot to catch up on!! :bounce:

Wow! That's a very long time from now... 2008! Well, I guess we'll all just have to hold out till that happens... good thing there was Boku-Tachi in the mean time, but I'm still curious to see how "the professionals" did. Most importantly I'm looking forward to reading One Man Force. Ugh! Can't wait!

*looks round shiftily* you're not the only one who feels that way - a team of fans has taken it up. The chapters are coming out fairly quickly, as there's a team doing this as opposed to one person over at boku-tachi (not to diss her in any way, she did a wonderful job).

Hooray for Full Metal Panic! The first novel is being released on September 11th! Can't wait! Look for it in a bookstore near you, or if you're simply a die-hard fan, you can pre-order it now online. I found this information about a month ago--didn't take the time to post it until now, sorry!--so, if there is any news we should be aware of, c'mon and share it with the rest of us.

Happy Reading!
