      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:

        1. Now With Less Laborious Lecturing

        But Yen Press has the Mahouka manga...

        1. Fall In Love All Over Again

        An amnesia/time travel series probably.

        LN hints:

        1. Complete the Triptych

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

        1. Abe's Last-Ditch Solution

        Are there any light novels like Love and Lies?

            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.

                      Manga Hints:

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

                      LN hints:

                      1. Complete the Triptych
                      2. My Frenchman Will Be Pleased (Reference to The Obra Dinn)
                      3. It's Definitely Not Stocks
                      4. 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.

                        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.

                            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

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

                                  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.

                                    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!

                                          @zing I think you misread the “hint” part he was talking about.
                                          JNC sometimes gives us hints to what they might license next.
