86–EIGHTY-SIX Alter.2 brings its offbeat spinoff stories to audio

Yen Audio released Alter.2 on September 22 with Suzie Yeung and Stephen Fu reading the science-fiction spinoff.

The second 86–EIGHTY-SIX Alter collection now has an English audiobook. Yen Audio dates Alter.2: Fight, Magical Girl Reina Lena! Go, Starship San Magnolia! to 22 September and lists Suzie Yeung and Stephen Fu as readers. The publisher's listing describes a markedly playful detour from the main military science-fiction

story: a starship San Magnolia, magical-girl Lena and the Eighty-Six as guardian spirits. It also says this volume includes a revised, extended version of a short story originally included with the anime Blu-ray, alongside new illustrations in the book edition. The listing does not state that those illustrations form

part of the listening file. Where it fits This is an Alter side-story volume, not the next numbered main-series installment. That distinction helps listeners choose whether they want the character-focused diversion or are looking for the continuing central plot. Yen Audio identifies the book's author as Asato Asato,

illustrator as Shirabii and translator as Roman Lempert. Its product page links to several audio retailers, with availability dependent on territory and store. It also links the first Alter audio volume for anyone starting this branch from the beginning. Headline image: official Yen Audio cover; Asato Asato, Shirabii
