Acquisitions Speculation - General

I’m still waiting on the 4th of the confirmed titles let alone that unconfirmed one.
-
@catstorm
So glad that you brought this up. I was just wondering the same thing. -
Bakuman is a manga about mangaka’s who make manga they want made into anime... with anime being the milestone for the real prize at the end...
Hitman isn bad either, not so much about anime yet in it. More manga... only from an editorial view.

They said most of these will release early, but then some like the Sword Dad series would not get a physical copy until August this year which is quite a while for just 1 volume. Does anyone happen to know how long they generally take for digital releases..or if they even do digital
I don't know if it was officially confirmed before, but Sword Reincarnation is May digitally.

I wonder how long until we get the last 2 LNs. Sam said the 5th one is now confirmed so I guess it's gonna take some time before they translate the first 4 parts.
I'd love to see a LN about the MC being able to travel between worlds though. I had high hopes for 80,000 Gold, but... I'm not even sure if it will come out for now.

Read Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf!
Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

Sam said on his Curiouscat five days ago that it'd be about a month for them, so I guess we can expect them by mid-March?

Yep, already reading that. It was a nice discovery but it has only 2 volumes out thought (with the second one starting TL soon). I'd like some more similar series/content 😋

@terabyte
There is the last of the FUNA series “saving 80,000 gold in another world” the MC in that one travels back and forth At will. -
@catstorm I think you may have missed Tera’s previous comment where he expresses interest for 80K and also expresses trepidation at Sol’s ability to deliver.
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

Oh, I'm sure it'll be in typesetting on their blog before you know it...
=(

@terrence yeah maybe when they actually acknowledge that they locked up the license to VRMMO Academy, cause it still ain’t listed under Light Novel on their Site.

@rahul-balaggan Kinda of fills you with confidence. Not really.

Yen Press announced the license of Keigo Higashino's novel The Miracles of the Namiya General Store. I'm so excited that they're continuing to branch out from lights novels to license Japanese literature/novels.
-
@hyperion That is freaking awesome news! Instant buy for me and it sounds really good!
I am just in the middle of Higashino’s latest Dectective Kaga mystery “The Newcomer” and it’s fantastic!
I’ve read the majority of his translated works and he is the writer who got me intonations Japanese fiction with the wonderful “Devotion of Suspect X”
-
@the-green-death
I've been interested in trying his work when I discovered it a little while ago. My library has a number of his books on Overdrive. Would you recommend The Devotion of Suspect X as a good entry point for the author? -
@hyperion Yeah it’s a great start, still my favorite and I’ve read it twice and plan to read it again soon. It’s very much a mystery so you won’t like it if you don’t like mysteries and it’s also very much a Japanese mystery in that it’s pretty slow-paced. What’s cool is you know who did it from the start but you don’t know the how and it’s a book that plays fair with the answers even though I certainly didn’t predict the ending.
