          I'm hoping Title 5: Not FDA-Approved is "Let's Buy the Land And Cultivate in a Different World". I know this might be a stretch but I can hope right!?

            "Not FDA-approved" Could be "The girl who ate a death god", after all I'm pretty sure Death Gods aren't FDA-approved food.

            Do you like death, war and misery ?
            Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
            Do you like vengeance story?
            If so then then vote for The girl who ate a death god

              Title 3: My mind instantly snapped to Shakugan no Shana.

              Title 4 sounds like a gambling series.

                  Gonna fill with guesses / thoughts.

                  @Rahul-Balaggan said in Acquisitions Speculation - General:

                  Title 1: How parents think of their babies

                  Precious? Breathtaking (Seinfeld reference)? Inseparable? Idk. I feel like it's a word in the title, but maybe not.

                  Title 2: 17 going on 27?

                  Gonna guess this one about a 27 year old Office Lady who dresses as a JK (and gets saved by a 17 year old boy when someone tries to assault her on a train). I'd love anything from this author.

                  https://myanimelist.net/manga/123393/Choppiri_Toshiue_demo_Kanojo_ni_Shite_Kuremasu_ka

                  Title 3: SHUT UP!

                  My Best Friend's Lil Sis is Only Annoying to Me (stretch).

                  Title 4: No, you deal!

                  I have some gambling series guesses. Will post some later, but don't know what would fit.

                  Title 5: Not FDA-Approved

                  Food / Medicine series? There's a few out there.

                  Title 6: Watch out for the full moon!

                  Werewolves? Curious what this is.

                  Title 7: The adventure of your dreams!

                  Dreams. There's a series where an adventurer marries his childhood friend in a fantasy adventure dream... But it was cancelled. But judging by Welcome to Japan Ms Elf, this is likely a somewhat common premise.

                    @Terrence The last one could be the Japan Elf manga, which is unlicensed. The moon one also may be the Der Werwolf manga.

                      I just had a revelation! Number 5 is "Isekai Yakkyoku" or "Other World Pharmacy"! That fits perfectly!

                        Number 6 is probably "Der Werwolf" manga.

                          I just posted the "Der Werwolf" manga one like less that a minute ago. But I think you're right on the "Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf'" manga is spot on as well. Pretty sure I called #5 But we'll see.

                            Title 2 is most definitely Choppiri Toshiue Demo Kanojo Ni Shite Kuremasu Ka?

                            JNC LN Ranking:
                            1st - Rokujouma
                            2nd - Realist Hero
                            3rd - Bookworm

                              Huzzah! New announcement hints! I love watching everyone use their superior knowledge to try to guess the new titles. For my part, I have no clue but I think @LegitPancake and @lighthawk96 are probably right.

                                Dark horse candidate for #4: Akagi. Admittedly, this is because I want to read an official translation for Akagi, since I like the anime quite a bit.

                                My grasp on sanity remains absolute.

                                Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

                                  Would be nice, I’m still angry that Seven Seas Entertainment licensed I Swear I Won’t Bother You Again! and She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wiseman. Why is it always this company who gets the good licenses and not J-Novel Club?! Because of amazon’s stupid banning system, I probably won’t even get the kindle books...

                                    Probably cause SS is just more adept at getting more licenses that people want? JNC while they sometimes license requests, tend to just focus on getting completely new stuff while hoping they'll hit big like a gacha machine.

                                    I'm quite happy with SS getting stuff cause it means the physicals will be single volumes typically while JNC has been pushing more and more for omnibuses if something gets a print release.

                                      Oh, there is still a JNC session on Cloud Matsuri. Curious about why having announcements before the panel; not enough time for them?

                                      Well, not that I care much, just happy to have announcements soon. Hopefully the pending series from the last panel will start soon as well.

                                      Quof got a break.
                                      WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?!

                                        @Aruseus493 I wouldn't mind getting physical copies, let's leave the question of space aside, but I live in Germany and currently it's incredible difficult to get english books, mainly due to the coronavirus.
