In 2004, Kazuma Kamachi launched the legendary light novel series, A Certain Magical Index. The light novels ran from 2004 to 2010, with a total of 22 volumes. However, the series began to take off as the manga hit shelves in 2007.
Still, in publication, the manga has a total of 24 volumes, so far, and a multitude of spin-off series. The spin-offs include series like A Certain Magical Accelerator and A Certain Scientific Railgun. The franchise has also branched out into the world of video games and mainly anime.
Before all of the more recent spin-offs began to release, there was one that came out during the height of the original light novel series; A Certain Magical Index SS. The series was written by Kazuma Kamachi and drawn by Kiyotaka Haimura. The series followed fan-favorite characters Touma, Hamazura, and Accelerator, among others.
The series acted as a supplement to the original and was widely loved by fans. Being that Yen Press has published the series since the beginning, it came as no surprise that during a huge license acquisition announcement, the spin-off would be one of the ones to get a release in North America through the company!
While no further release dates were given for the book, more information would be announced during a panel at Anime Expo Lite. Make sure to share your thoughts on the announcement in the comments!
