Full Metal Panic Spinoff Novel Project Starts This Summer
posted on by Egan Loo
Kadokawa Shoten's Fantasia Bunko imprint will launch a new Full Metal Panic spinoff novel project this summer. The story of the new project is set over a decade after the story in the original light novel series. The previously short stories will also be published in the same timeframe.
Shoji Gatoh, the author of the original Full Metal Panic novel series, drafted and supervised the new novel project, but Naoto Ōguro will be writing the actual text. Shikidouji is reprising her role as the novel illustrator, and Kanetake Ebikawa is contributing to the mechanical designs. Gatoh had indicated in January that "a little interesting project related to Full Metal is in the works."
Last June, the North American publisher Tokyopop summer.
