I guess that means the manga is a goodly distance behind the light novels, then. Usually, one light novel volume makes about four anime episodes—not always, since the anime can add or remove subplots, but it’s a decent rule of thumb—so there were probably 6+ light novel volumes already published in Japan when they started planning this season.
