Today marks the end of an era for light novel fans . The iconic Dragon Magazine , which for 38 years enchanted readers with memorable stories, published its final issue. And who graces the cover of this farewell? None other than Slayers , one of Kadokawa's most beloved series.

Taking advantage of the moment, Slayers also gifted fans with a new Short Story Collection, the first in 13 years! The news is a real treat for followers of the series, who can now relive the magical and adventure-filled universe created by Hajime Kanzaka.
However, despite the farewell to Dragon Magazine, which since 1988 was home to famous works such as Full Metal Panic, Saekano , and of course, Slayers, Kadokawa already has plans for the future. The publisher announced the launch of a new digital platform called Mekurimekuru, which promises to continue the legacy of bringing quality light novels and literature to fans.
This is a moment of nostalgia, but also of renewal. As we say goodbye to a magazine that has marked generations, we celebrate the emergence of new opportunities to explore incredible stories.
