I even read the hint in the Spongebob style, but I was hung up on pineapples and the sea, lol
So that's why the 2nd hint is a Spongebob reference.
Honestly, I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. -
@myskaros @LegitPancake Ops, thanks. I read the hints here in the topic without checking the announcements page this time... 😋
-
@Terrence if this is indeed the case then I will be over the moon for this release! I've been hoping these light novels got licensed.
-
It's the final hour before showtime, last chance to place your bets! 😁😄

Best guess I saw for 1 from Discord was World's Greatest Swordsman Became A Mage. (Parents think their kids are always the world's greatest, trades in sword for magic).
The parents hint would be a lot funnier if it was World Break though.
-
I missed most of the podcast due to work. I saw "Apothecary", "Ideal Sponger Life" and "Ms. Elf manga". What were the other 4 announcements?
-
I would like to know that too.
-
Ok. Der Werwolf manga is one. Now I'm just missing 3.
-
@lighthawk96 Imouza, "We're just friends but she's the cutest", and thr 27yo "JK" one we were expectiong.
-

27yo "JK
Thanks. But that only makes 6. Weren't there 7 hints. There should still be one more I think.
-
@lighthawk96 No, that makes seven. The two mangas, imouza, cutest, 27yo, sponger and apothecary. Better to just redirect you here.

Got it. Thanks!
-
Quite happy about this announcements panel. I think I'll read most of them. Also happy about having more romcoms.
Hopefully we'll have another Black Friday sale this month, I'll need those credits...
And with Softbank, more chances of OreShura. -
Anyone who wants more info on these, this article gives good details:
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-11-14/j-novel-club-adds-5-light-novels-2-manga/.166328This is the biggest announcement for me in a long time. Love seeing more RomCom and everything here looks at least with checking out. Wish I had more time!
-
I wonder if Sam plans on doing a Rokujouma with the translating of Sponger Life and Tomodachi no Imouto. Lots of fan-translated series can be stiff/bad, but I thought these two were really well done. I'll definitely buy them.
-
I was really surprised to see so many romcoms licensed, I assumed we'd at least have to wait a while how well Social Game did before we got any more.
-
Huh, I'd seen Der Werewolf's manga a while back, didn't realize until now that JNC was doing that LN. Guess I'll have to wait a while for it to come around on catchup again to see if it's interesting enough for me to warrant following it.
Well I consider having one title I'm planning to follow on a more romance oriented licensing reveal to be pretty good since I'm generally more inclined to go after fantasy rpg/isekai/sci fi titles.

Just saying, Der Werwolf is one of my favorite series. Before I started working at JNC, I waited until all the parts for volume 1 were released, binged it one night, and immediately slapped down a premium credit for it.

I'm sure everybody has seen by now, Seven Seas having a licensing event on the 30th to debut their new novel label name, Airship (think more Yen On than JNC Heart; a label name for all the LN they license that separates them from their normal Seven Seas manga logo and brand).
Kinda curious what they could grab.

@Terrence
That's definitely an interesting bit of news. Can't wait to see what new titles they might have snagged.
