About to the red line in the second book. Check out the visual progress report from early in Book 2 here for the question of how much is on a page; it's more than a standard Japanese light novel since the print is much smaller and it's also double-layered per page, but probably closer to an English novel page with size 12 print, since native English prose tends towards fewer line breaks than Japanese.
The 5 volume paperback version prints at the normal print size, single layered. Those five books are broken up by 'books' in the hardcover versions too, with 1 (Crows) and 2 (From The Depths I Have Cried) labelled off in hardback volume 1, and 3-5 in hardback volume 2. The first volume of the paperback version is about 500 pages; the first hardcover book, which has book one and two but is printed smaller and with two layers of text per page side, is also about 500 pages.
Right now we're about two chapters away from the end of Book 3, which is the longest in the book.
