@raitoiro
Why this one? (Especially, the concept of time with Kyouko is more abstract. And it's more about what it feels when today(Kyo) is all you got ans do we still be the same person if we lose our memories)
Well, the connection between the two series is fan theory about Kyouko is older Hanekawa anyway.

Well, a series that has mystery solved by time loops like Erased or Re:Zero might be a solid guess but I can't remember any rn.

@bloodygaikotsu I choose that one cause that the only one that came to my mind ^^
It's true that the link is weak but it's kind of allway the case with those hints: the one for Yume Nikki was "not a part of the nasuverse", aparently because Nasu mean eggplant and there was a mini game about eggplant in the original game
In fact if i'm end up being correct, compare to that one, this one would have been a strong hint ^^
What make me dubious is more the fact that NisiOisiN is mostly publish by Vertical even more if it could be a monogatari sequel.

My Frenchman Will Be Pleased (Reference to The Obra Dinn)

I just thought of smth
but it's a bit of stretch.
it might be too much of a stretch.

It's mystery.
there's a bit of time issues.
Sam was asked about it on Curious Cat months ago but he said the market might not be ready for it back then.
It's a publisher that Sam hasn't dealt with before—Shinchosha.
it's quite the risk but it's a 1000-plus-page book divided into 2 Tankobon then 3 Bunkobon—so, the risk might not as big as longer mystery series.
The author is an enigma.
Madman or woman or alien.
Only available in English in old Faust volume and a novel released by Viz.
However, it can please Andrew Cunningham (but he's not French, I think?)

Disco Detective Wednesday
But as I said, it's too much of a stretch

If it is a JNC title, is there an Undead Adventurer manga?

It has one, yeah. Just got a volume 2

I think Less Laborious Lecturing refers to Unwanted Undead Adventurer manga.

My reasoning: If you spell out the English title in katakana, you get a triple A(ア).
アンウォンテッド
アンデッド
アドベンチュラー

New hints are out.

Manga Hints:

Now With Less Laborious Lecturing

But Yen Press has the Mahouka manga...

Fall In Love All Over Again

An amnesia/time travel series probably.

LN hints:

Complete the Triptych

Has Akira adapted any other off-the-wall media projects?

Abe's Last-Ditch Solution

Are there any light novels like Love and Lies?

Shimoneta?

BloodyGaikotsu

@myskaros

Well, pretty sure that one won't do anything good for Abe, when they don't know ABC of making babies~♪

Complete the Tryptich, maybe a third series by Ichiro Sakaki?? We already have Bluesteel Blasphemer and Outbreak Company.

He's got a new one that looks like it shares names / similar designs to Outbreak, but... They aren't the same characters? I don't know, I'm probably wrong, but that's what it sounded like from Google Translated reviews.

@paulnamida A "triptych" is defined as "a set of three associated artistic, literary, or musical works intended to be appreciated together," so "a random 3rd work by Sakaki" is kind of out there. Unless Outbreak and Blue Steel are intended to be connected and this hypothetical third series will also be connected to those two, that seems like an unlikely prospect.

Potion Danomi makes more sense since FUNA released all 3 of her works simultaneously and the other 2 have already been licensed.

@legitpancake let's hope that's the case!

Manga Hints:

The Manga Adaptaton of LN#1 (#1 as in Complete the Triptych)
Not Actually An Imouto Harem
Now With Less Laborious Lecturing
Fall In Love All Over Again
Ironically No Anime Adaptation

LN hints:

Complete the Triptych
My Frenchman Will Be Pleased (Reference to The Obra Dinn)
It's Definitely Not Stocks
Abe's Last-Ditch Solution

I have no clues on the Light Novels, however
4. Fall in Love All Over Again might be Black Summoner. The protagonist has a summoning agreement with the deity that oversee's those summoned/reincarnated from a different world. According to the deity, the summoner confessed his love to her, but agreed to have his memory wiped in order to obtain more power. He supposedly said he would fall in love with her again even without his memories. The deity agreed and the protagonist needs to become powerful enough to be able to summon her and is anxiously awaiting his second confession.

2. Not Actually An Imouto Harem might be Murabito Tensei: Saikyou no Slow Life. This is a little bit of a stretch though.

Terrence

Just giving this a little bump.

When do you guys think we'll get some of these title announcements? Before / On Christmas or closer to New Year's?

My guess that Sam may wanna put Santa outta his job this year; so, maybe, on Christmas.

Terrence

If he did them on Christmas Eve, he could really ruin Christmas. I'll be looking all the titles up on my phone instead of socializing with relatives at the dinner table. =P

Do it! xD

Fall In Love All Over Again

Just what if?
What if it's Mujaki no Rakuen (Paradise of Innocence) lol?

BloodyGaikotsu

@terrence
"Socializing with relatives" was never fun, so at least, you get a good excuse lol

BartzBB

Cooking with Wild Game and I shall Survive using Potions just got licensed. I wonder which hints were these 2 supposed to be.

EDIT: Just realized that Potion Loli probably refers to Complete the Triptych. Since this series is one of the three series of FUNA.

Terrence

Is it happening. It's happening!

Who was the poster who was really excited for the Wild Game one? I remember that was one of the earliest food novels brought up here. You got your wish! =)

I heard the author of Gal Gohan also confirmed his manga for an English release with no confirmed publisher (this is thirdhand knowledge, so take with a grain of salt, don't know where the Twitter poster got that from), but I didn't think any of the hints pointed towards food stuff. Already proven wrong, so let's hope!
