Via Lactea announced upcoming preorders for Vol. 2 of their English release of Killing Show, a danmei webnovel series written by author FOX. [Source: 1, 2, 3] Preorders will run from June 20 – July 21, 2025.
The volume is packaged with special merch, which includes a postcard, an in-universe fan club card, and an in-universe newspaper.
Those who order during the first 24 hours of the preorder period will also get a very special freebie: an autograph from the author themselves. This freebie was also offered during the first 24 hours of Vol. 1’s preorder period. Via Lactea often includes pre-printed author signature cards with their novel releases, but the publisher has confirmed in their Discord channel that Killing Show’s offer is for a handwritten author signature. Buyers interested in the signature offer should order directly through Via Lactea’s site, as there is no indication or guarantee that the offer will be honored via any third-party retailer.
Preorders for Killing Show Vol. 2 are set to begin on Via Lactea’s website on June 20, 2025, and the preorder period will end on July 21, 2025. The volume is priced at $26.99 CAD. The limited time signature offer runs from June 20 to June 21 only, and ordering within the first week (June 20 – 27) will net buyers a small discount ($25.99 CAD).
