[Anime] Infinite Stratos - Project Restart

Infinite Stratos began as a light novel series written by Izuru Yumizuru, with illustrations provided by Okiura.[7] The first volume was published by Media Factory under their MF Bunko J label on May 31, 2009. As of April 8, 2011, seven volumes have been released.[8]
Due to conflict between the publisher (Media Works) and the author, publication of the light novels is under suspension.[9][10] Later, the author confirmed that he's simultaneously writing a new work and continuing Infinite Stratos through Kodansha.[11] The novels are now being published by Overlap under their Overlap Bunko imprint, with CHOCO replacing Okiura as illustrator. Reprints of the first seven volumes will begin on April 25, 2013, starting with the first two volumes.[12]
The light novels are being translated into traditional Chinese and the first volume was published and released by Sharp Point Press[13] on November 9, 2010. The Chinese translations of the light novels were originally under an indefinite suspension.[14] Yumizuru cited that Media Factory's overseas representatives were engaging in contracts with foreign publishers without the author's permission as the reason for the suspension.[14] Yumizuru had also stated that he was willing to fight over this matter in court if necessary.[14]
