      We Opened a Cafe In a Different World:

      Now that sounds like something Sam would license...

      Shoujo look, food industry focused, and it takes place in another world! Perfect license for this set. And it's not about stocks either!

      (I'm not actually guessing it, lol, but I would not be completely against it; I just want to look for something with economic or business focus for the "not about stocks" hint).

      I keep coming back to Stocks and Bonds... maybe the license has "Bonding" in the title?

      Kizuna is the Japanese word for "bonds". 絆

      Bond Contrast?

      I'll keep looking.

        @aruseus493 The post talks about the "longest secured" though. And Cooking with Wild Game has 15 volumes. It may have been that series? (Typo with 2 instead of 5 lol)

          @terabyte The 12 volume one hasn't been revealed yet.

          You mean unnannounced? Hmmm. I guess 12 Vols.

            @doublemangekyo Oh, I thought it was an older Curious Cat post. Looking at it again now I see Sam replied to it only ~6 hours ago. Ignore me then 😋

              Oh, stocks is the free one? The MC in Bear Bear Bear got rich with stocks if I read the description thread right, and it is in the 12 volumes list

                I built my list based around what was requested rather than using bookwalker. (Was also cross referencing with LNDB and the JP publisher sites.)

                  Oh god, two new arifureta spin-offs of all things. Maybe I gave SS too much credit...

                      Gotta hurry to capitalize on dat anime. I always get depressed after realising high popular arifureta is.

                                It's somewhat funny, sad and weird that I have hundreds of titles (manga & novels) I wanna see licensed (put together in .txt files or S notes documents) yet none of the last 20+ announcements managed to hit even one.

                                  @bloodygaikotsu I feel for you, when JNC was literally 1 month old I started begging for a food related novel, took over 2 years but I finally got Cooling with Wild Game.

                                  It might take longer then 2 years but hopefully some day you will be able to starting ticking off those Novels you want.

                                    With 8 outta 18 of titles in 1st page of licenses suggestions are of my liking, I thought my tastes ain't so outta there as I initially thought...but I was duped lol

                                    Actually, the only company that hits my strike spot every time is Vertical (but they don't have that many slots).
                                    I never was disappointed in Vertical license (but disappointed they do not release enough)

                                      The thing that baffles me about the last announcement by Seven Seas is they said in a post that it has been something anticipated by people for 10 years and largely requested. I've never even heard of the series. Mind you I don't read BL so guess that would be why, but seriously? lol

                                          @BloodyGaikotsu Ah okay thanks for the heads up. Kind of funny how that other guy said it in the same way I did.

                                            BL not for me. I guess I'm happy for those that want it though, but yeah...

                                            I actually really liked half of day 1's licenses, but these did nothing for me (I'm happy for Arifureta fans too). If the ghost one is actually scary / creepy, let me know.

                                            I'm hoping the last day is where they're saving their light novel announcements.
