Would people here be interested in a translation of the drama CDs that supplemented the show? I just learned about their existence the other day, and some of them were pretty cute when I checked them out. It figured I might do those on the side as translating audio is much more relaxing than text.

Again, thank you so much!

Also great work on volume 5, the translation seems very easy to read and is being updated often. Keep up the great work!
PS. Do you happen to know anything about other volumes or side stories that have been released since 5?

So, I had originally planned on telling you there wasn't anything like that, and it's been 5 years since the 5th volume with no news of anything Kotenbu, but after doing a little research, I learned that apparently there are three short stories in the Hyouka series that weren't published in novel format, two of them actually released after the 5th volume, so once I manage to get my hands on those, I'll definitely put them up. It's also reassuring to know that he hasn't given up on the series. XD

I also learned that he actually has a couple more ongoing mystery series under his belt, so maybe I'll try putting one of them up on the site in the future as we all wait for volume 6. XD

Q8: Why haven't you released a new Classics Club Series Volume?

It's not like I simply haven't, per se, but rather that I can't.
There's fundamentally no way for me to publish a mystery novel from Kadokawa without serializing it. (Hell, I don't even know if there's precedent.) I'd have to do the standard method of taking stories of mine that are already out there in one format or another and then developing them in novel format later.
The Shoushimin series, my first attempt at publishing a novel without serializing the individual elements, had an entirely different set of circumstances involved with it.

The fact that the publishing type switches depending on the volume is really weighing heavily on me. I too desperately want to line the shelves with it.
Once I can finish the remaining steps involved, I'll be able to gradually form it into a novel, so as a result, I would like to offer my deepest apologies for the wait.

If I could do what I did with "Hyouka" and "The Credit Roll of the Fool" and combine already published stories into a novel format, I would be able to publish it, but...
That's also a tough thing for me to work out.

I just updated it today, and I added an epub version.

Cheers!
