This went way under the radar on my end. Vertical Comics announced they would announce some new light novel acquisitions but this time they dropped a huge one.
Vertical Comics have announced they will be releasing Kizumonogatari, the third in the Monogatari series of light novels in English for the first time. The publisher have announced they only have the rights to Kizu at this time and is expected to be released in November.
Kizumonogatari and the Monogatari series were written by Nisio Isin, who wrote other similar works including Katanagatari and Medaka Box. Vofan handled the art. The Monogatari series has gained a huge popularity that spawned an anime adaptation done by studio SHAFT whom agreed to adapt the entirety of the franchise from Bakemonogatari to Monogatari series: Final Season. Kizumonogatari's own anime adaptation is still in development but rumours have circulated that the project is on hold until the rest of the arcs have been animated.
Vertical Comics have also announced they will be releasing the prequel to the shonen manga Seraph of the End. The light novel prequel offers a back story to the main series and will be released in English as an omnibus edition, no release date has been confirmed or announced at this time. Seraph of the End will soon have its anime adaptation airing in the Spring season from the same animators who worked on Attack on Titan, Wit Studio. The on-going manga version is currently available in English by Viz Media.
And last but not least, Vertical Comics have announced they will also be releasing the cyberpunk manga Ninja Slayer. The manga will soon be receiving an anime adaptation from studio Trigger (Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia) in the future.
