If you have finished all nine volumes of Given, the next book is Given 10th Mix. The English edition is scheduled for November 10, 2026, published by SuBLime and distributed by Simon & Schuster.
The short answer is simple: read Given Volumes 1–9 first, then read Given 10th Mix.

Is Given 10th Mix “Volume 10”?
You may see Simon & Schuster label Given 10th Mix as “Book #10 of Given.” That is useful for arranging the English books on a series list, but it does not mean the title is simply called Given, Vol. 10.
The original Japanese manga ended with Volume 9. Japanese publisher Shinshokan calls Given 10th Mix a 後日譚 (gojitsutan)—an epilogue or after-story—showing the characters ten years after Mafuyu and Ritsuka’s high-school graduation and the band’s professional debut. SuBLime uses the same title, Given 10th Mix, and describes it as an epilogue.
So both ideas can be true:
- Retail catalogues may place it as Book 10 in the English Given series.
- Its narrative role is an epilogue that follows the completed nine-volume main manga.
For readers, the important point is not the catalogue number. It is that 10th Mix is meant to be read after Volume 9.
The Correct Given Manga Reading Order
- Given, Volumes 1–9 — the complete original manga story.
- Given 10th Mix — the official ten-years-later epilogue.
You do not need to alternate between manga volumes and anime releases to understand the book. If you have only watched the anime, however, reading Volumes 1–9 first is the clearest route. The manga gives you the complete original sequence and the quieter transitions that lead into the characters’ later lives.

English Release: Print, Digital, and Regional Availability
SuBLime and Simon & Schuster both list November 10, 2026 as the English release date. Because that date is still in the future as of this article’s October 25 check, the book should be described as scheduled or available for preorder, not as already released.
Simon & Schuster confirms the trade paperback with ISBN 9781974769230. SuBLime shows both “Print” and “Digital” on its official product page. The stores, release timing, and digital catalogue you see may differ by country, so confirm the format and delivery date on the retailer page for your region before ordering.
Official places to check
- SuBLime’s official Given 10th Mix page — English edition details and retailer links.
- Simon & Schuster’s official publisher page — ISBN, format, page count, and release date.
- Amazon US search for ISBN 9781974769230 — verify that the listing says English, SuBLime, and ISBN 9781974769230 before buying.
Does the English Edition Include the Japanese Anime DVD?
Do not assume that it does.
Shinshokan released a Japanese limited edition of Given 10th Mix with a new anime DVD. That was a separate Japanese product with its own ISBN. The official English listings checked for this guide describe the SuBLime book, but they do not say that an anime DVD or OAD is included.
If a retailer uses Japanese limited-edition images or mentions a bonus disc, check the language, ISBN, seller, and region carefully. The confirmed English trade paperback ISBN is 978-1-9747-6923-0.
Final Answer
Read Given Volumes 1–9, then Given 10th Mix. Treat “Book #10” as a catalogue position, while understanding the story itself as the official epilogue to the completed main manga.
The English edition is scheduled for November 10, 2026. Until that date passes and retailers update their listings, check the official SuBLime or Simon & Schuster page for the latest availability in your region.
