CATDOLL: Dengeki Bunko editor-in-chief Kazuma Miki quits the company to start a new company. Will there be a chance for "A Certain Magical Index 3"?

Now, Japanese light novels are booming, and many animations we are familiar with are adapted from light novels. Speaking of the Japanese light novel industry, everyone must be familiar with the name Kazuma Miki. He is the editor-in-chief of Dengeki Bunko, and the familiar "A Certain Magical Index", "The Irregular at Magic High School", and "My Sister Can't Be This Cute" are all edited by him. It can be said that many of the popular light novels are brought out by him. Recently, a big news came: Kazuma Miki has officially left Dengeki Bunko at the end of March and established his own new company.

It is reported that the new company of Miki Kazuma is called "Stretch Edge", which means "let everyone go along a clear path and reach the destination directly". The company's operation direction is to plan publications, character products, and animation planning and production. The company is located in Nakano-ku, Tokyo, and the board of directors is composed of Suzuki Kazutomo and others from Dengeki Bunko. Miki himself will continue to be responsible for the works of Dengeki Bunko as an external editor. It seems that his resignation from the company did not cause a rift with Dengeki Bunko.

The company has already signed a number of light novel writers, and they are all very heavyweight. Currently, the signed writers include Kamachi Kazuma (A Certain Magical Index), Kawahara Reki (Sword Art Online), Sajima Tsutomu (The Irregular at Magic High School), and Fushimi Tsukasa (My Sister Can't Be This Cute), etc. In addition, well-known illustrators such as abec have also signed with Miki's company. This is basically the mainstay of the current Dengeki Bunko. Even if the current works will not leave Dengeki Bunko, it does not mean that these writers will continue to be Dengeki Bunko people in the future. These changes will definitely cause a lot of shock to the light novel industry. But in fact, what everyone is most concerned about is that the author of "A Certain Magical Index" has officially signed, and the new company's business also includes animation production. Does that mean that "A Certain Magical Index 3" still has great hope?
