You could also look on Wikipedia for volumes list. If there’s an upcoming volume, they’ll usually have a tentative entry and/or release date
Or maybe just Google if it’s finished or ongoing

Also the publication period. If the series is over, there will be an extra end date. Otherwise, it will be indicated as ongoing. (Can be out of date if the last volume was very recently published, but that’s usually not a problem)

So I was looking into a few things I had in mind but sadly most of them are out-of-print in physical form, and seems like going for a digital only would halve potential club members…
So I’ll see if I can find some extra nominations that still have their books being printed…

In a world where people are proven to swing between slightly different parallel worlds on a daily basis - Hidaka Koyomi, who lives with her father after her parents’ divorce, meets a girl called Sato Shiori at the Institute of Imaginary Science where her father works. The two have a faint feeling of love for each other, but everything changes when their parents talk about remarrying. Convinced that they will never be together again, Reki and Shiori try to jump to a world where they will never be siblings, but … there is no meaning in a world without her.

Why are you nominating this book: Looking for some recs that aren’t a 10+ volume series, I remembered I had this on my TBR and had been planning on reading it for a while. This and the companion book 僕が愛したすべての君へ | L28. I have been told the order in which one reads those 2 books determines to some extent how one sees the story and I found some recommendations to start with 君愛.

Why are you nominating this book: It’s supposed to be a chill title, I guess I’m having enough stress in life that lately I’m gravitating towards these kind of titles. It’s been on my TBR along nonbiri nouka for a while. Since I started the other one on my own, I’d though I’d nominate this one.
For table adding reference.
The status is ongoing-ish. 12 Volumes + 1 Prequel volume.

Summary - English (Anilist)
When timid eleventh-grader and math genius Kenji Koiso is asked by older student and secret crush Natsuki to come with her to her family’s Nagano home for a summer job, he agrees without hesitation.
Natsuki’s family, the Jinnouchi clan, dates back to the Muromachi era (1336 to 1573), and they’ve all come together to celebrate the 90th birthday of the spunky matriarch of the family, Sakae. That’s when Kenji discovers his “summer job” is to pretend to be Natsuki’s fiance and dance with her at the birthday celebration.
As Kenji attempts to keep up with Natsuki’s act around her family, he receives a strange math problem on his cell phone which, being a math genius, he can’t resist solving. As it turns out, the solution to the mysterious equation causes Oz, the program that controls nearly every aspect of life to be hacked into, it’s up to Kenji and his new “family” to stop the hacker before it’s too late.

竜殺しの英雄、シギベルト率いるノーヴェルラント帝国軍。伝説の島「エデン」の攻略に挑む彼らは、島を護る竜の返り討ちに遭い、幾度も殲滅された。
エデンの海岸に取り残され、偶然か必然か――生きのびたシギベルトの娘ブリュンヒルド。竜は幼い彼女を救い、娘のように育てた。一人と一匹は、愛し、愛された。
しかし十三年後、シギベルトの放つ大砲は遂に竜の命を奪い、英雄の娘ブリュンヒルドをも帝国に「奪還」した。
『神の国で再会したければ、他人を憎んではならないよ。』
復讐に燃えるブリュンヒルドの胸に去来するのは、正しさと赦しを望んだ竜の教え。従うべくは、愛した人の言葉か、滾り続ける愛そのものか――。
第28回電撃小説大賞《銀賞》受賞の本格ファンタジー、ここに開幕！
English
Love tore them apart.
The Noverland Imperial Army led by Sigibert, the hero of the dragon slayer. They challenged to capture the legendary island “Eden” and were annihilated many times by the dragon’s return to protect the island. Left behind on the coast of Eden, by chance or inevitability-Brynhildr, the daughter of Sigibert who survived. The dragon saved her little girlfriend and raised her like her daughter. One and one were loved and loved.
However, thirteen years later, the cannon fired by Sigibert finally took the life of the dragon, and “regained” the hero’s daughter Brynhildr to the empire.
“If you want to meet again in the kingdom of God, don’t hate others.”
Brynhildr’s vengeful chest comes to the dragon’s teachings for her righteousness and forgiveness. Is it the words of a loved one or the love that continues to linger in order for her to obey?
The 28th Dengeki Novel Grand Prize “Silver Award” winning full-scale fantasy begins here!

Welp, that’s all the slots taken! Good work team! While I update the nominations table, does anyone care if I open the voting early? Any reason we should wait?
Also, did we want to modify how a book is removed from the next vote? Originally I just had something similar to the mystery club in mind, where no votes = kick, but LNs are more likely to be easy to nominate, so it feels like we might want a snappier system.
