the book was also issued there as Ten Little Indians between 1984 and 1986.
The U.S. paperback title *Ten Little Indians* predates 1984 by about two decades. Bibliographic records show Pocket Books editions under that title in the mid-1960s, and reference descriptions summarize the run as 1964–1986, not 1984–1986.
Full reasoning
This date range is too late.
Bibliographic sources for U.S. editions of the novel show Pocket Books publishing Ten Little Indians in the 1960s, not starting in 1984:
- Open Library’s edition history for And Then There Were None states that "the Pocket Books paperbacks published between 1964 and 1986" appeared under the title Ten Little Indians.
- WorldCat lists a Pocket Books New York edition of Ten little Indians in 1965 (copyright 1940), which directly contradicts the claim that the title was only used between 1984 and 1986.
So the statement should not say 1984 to 1986; the supported range is at least 1964 to 1986.

The manga has been licensed for English publication by Viz Media in Q4 2026.
VIZ's own listing gives the English release date as September 15, 2026, which is in Q3, not Q4.
Full reasoning
VIZ has indeed licensed the manga, but the quarter given here is wrong.
On VIZ's official product page for And Then There Were None, Vol. 1, the release date is listed as September 15, 2026. September falls in Q3 of the calendar year, not Q4. VIZ's February 2026 publishing announcement also described the book as a Fall 2026 release, which is consistent with a September launch.
So the licensing/publication timing should not be described as Q4 2026.
