The landscape of Yashichiro Takahashi's acclaimed light novel series "Shakugan no Shana" is set to expand. An announcement from the official Twitter account of Kadokawa's Dengeki Bunko light novel label brought news of a new installment with the provisional title "Shakugan no Shana SIV." Kazuma Miki, editor and producer at Dengeki Bunko, confirmed the reveal, stating that the upcoming volume will be the fourth in the "Shakugan no Shana S" short story collection.
This development ends a long hiatus for the franchise, with the last new volume, "Shakugan no Shana SIII," having been released 11 years ago in 2012. A new story was published in 2017, but this new volume marks a significant event for the series.
"Shakugan no Shana" is set in a reality where beings from the Crimson Realm seek the Power of Existence, a crucial resource that can control the fabric of reality. The protagonist is a young girl with fiery eyes who wields immense power and a great sword, determined to protect the universe from these invaders.
The series began in 2002 with a total of 22 main novels, and "Shakugan no Shana SIII" was the last short story volume released in 2012. A final fan guidebook was published in 2013, marking the end of an era for the series—until the recent announcement.
