May 2023 announcements!
-
I think a random, silly story that no one quite expects would be nice.
-
@Ardyvee Lina Inverse (Slayers) was too good, and scared the other authors off years ago :P
I wouldn't mind some more though, Death's Daughter and the Ebony Blade has been quite good, and I'm kinda curious if the Sorcerer's Receptionist v4 would be significant enough to get mentioned on a stream for when it starts prepubs considering it was supposed to be a complete series. Unfortunately there's also just less of them to license, the demographic is just male dominated.
-
@Lily-Garden I don't have anything completely new on my list, but personally, I'm hoping for the LN of Fii's Bread Fetish (or Lady Rose Just Wants to be a Commoner, as its more commonly known).
And there's a couple of LN series I'd like to see the manga of. Death's Daughter and the Extinction of Cake or Density Level 99: I may be the Hidden Boss, but that doesn't give me common sense!, especially.

99 Manga was recently licensed by One Peace Books.

@Lily-Garden Scratch the Parallel World Pharmacy novel and manga. One Peace Books got the manga, I don‘t think it will be long and they license the novel too...

Fii's Bread Fetish
OK, this is my new favorite fan title for this series. :-)
-
The Lucia spin-off of Dahlia would be nice.
Oishii Veranda would be even better, if highly unlikely. BTW, thank you Lily for promoting it so many times. 😊
-
It's been a while, but we do have hints for this round of announcements!
Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.
-
A short title? Those still exist?
And one ridiculously long title...
Green's Theorem

One of those hints has some
idspispopdenergy -
is there anything in particular that you guys are hoping to hear announced?
... ironically, I'd like some original manga. JNC has chosen those well so far.
As for light novels, while I still want some of the usual old series with anime/GAGAGA (Humanity has Declined, someday), with the licenses lately with mostly series I don't know anything about, I always find some interesting stuff to read.
Quof got a break.
WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?! -
@myskaros Hints! It's been so long! 😊
For series #3 all I kind think of is Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway but that's already licensed by Yen Press
-
@Lily-Garden At first, I thought that hint might be suggesting an isekai, but your idea has made me think maybe it's something like Rabudame where the MC treats things like a rom-com, which you definitely shouldn't do in real life.
-
The first hint made me immediately think of the Futari wa Precure novel. But we've already been told straight up by Sam that it would never sell enough to be worth it, so that can't be it...
-
@piisfun I’m praying for Twelve Kingdoms.
-
The fifth hint could be Tales of Reincarnation in Maydare. I remember there is a special signature spell which goes “Maki Rhea Lucia, the crimson order, a bloodstained doll, going round and round... a red spinning wheel...“.
Honestly I don‘t know about any other novel about or with “spinning“. -
@Silver-Sugar-Duchess That seems a bit far fetch, although it wouldn't be a first. But "spinning" could be a hint for a lot of other stuff.
It could be a hint for a series inspired by fairytales, spinning thread is a regular plot point in those, Sleeping beauty probably being the most famous.
Or it could be a series about spiders, the 2 I know are already licensed, but I wouldn't be surprised if "So I'm spider, so what?"'s popularity birthed a few more copycats.
It could also be about the plane maneuver, surprisingly there is quite a few older series about old war planes.
It could even be a reference to the good old "I'll try spinning, that's a good trick!" prequel meme and be a hint for a sci-fi LN.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 -
One of the members of my household thought of Mahoujin Guru Guru when they saw "Spinning"
-
@Raitoiro True, now that I think about it, it really seems a bit far fetched.

Some more original manga and also manga adaptions would be really nice.
