This one?

I have to ask this first, is it exist in Kinokuniya? Because the last time I went, they don't even have Bungaku Shoujo and Haruhi :( (don't know if the branch I visited is an exception or not).

And also, the english version hasn't been released for a while right?

It seems refining my japanese is the only way to read this...

It is sold...in the US. We don't have any English LNs around in Kinokuniya...

Sword Art Online is just more "mainstream" than "art house".
It would win in terms of economical success and popularity, even if it doesn't have some sort of profound message like the latter (SAO does do that a bit, though).

And Zaregoto's only up to volume 2 in the official English published version, anyway. (I would rate it only average/above-average at that point, imo, I find UtsuroHako to be significantly better)
You can import them via online retailers.
I'm pretty sure Kino can do that for you too, if you ask for it at the counter.

Even if I imported it, I still can't read the later volumes, can I? Since there have been no news about the next release (even if they decided to release it, notice the two year gap between volume 1 and volume 2 :(

I hate reading a story if it will be discontinued (the english translation or whatever language I know) so looks like I won't read that LN for now...
I really should learn japanese lol...

Rather disappointed in it as it couldn't gain much "momentum" in the first book of the fourth arc, you can't feel the kick from reading it. It's inferior compared to the other arcs. I hope that Vol.10 will be much better.
