      @myskaros An example for number 1: High School DxD Lots of fans would love to see licensed LN, but several people have explained why it probably wouldn't be profitable.

      Number 2 seems to be where JNC excels, though I can't think of any standout examples.

      Looking forward to see what comes out tonight. If I can stay up that late, I might watch the livestream.

        I have faith in you, JNC-chan! Maybe not a Bunny Girl-level but I do believe this time the announcements won't be all about other worlds and their demon lords.
        ...
        Inb4 we get a weird mishmash of yuri, otome and BL.

          Sams hints were very vague can’t wait for the news from the panel

          The demon lord title could be any number of LN my top two guesses

          Realist Maou ni yoru Seiiki naki Isekai, kind fits with realist hero theme and is in line with allot other titles j novel has

          The Demon Lord’s building a city! The strongest Dungeon is a modern day city, seven seas has the manga license and I know two companies will Some times coordinate and license different products of the same IP to feed into each other’s fan base

          As for the project that is a license that they never thought they would get my thought is recently in a bunch of the fan groups I am a part of there is a ton of interest in titles from Alpha Polis, maybe Sam an company finally cracked that shell and got a licenses from them

            I was looking for those hints but couldn't find them. Where are they?

                  @timmaaah A title no one thought they would get (or anyone would want, given the reaction to the anime).

                  Eromanga Sensei

                  Popular in Japan. A Kadokawa title. Possibly complete at 10 volumes. Considered complete trash in most English-speaking markets.

                  Yes, I'm being a bit of a troll with that title. I could have gone with another title by the same author. Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai That would be worse.

                  Remember, JNC did license JK Haru. Two volumes, in fact.

                  EDITED TO ADD:
                  Not completed. Volume 11 came out in January, and my gut is saying that's not going to be the final volume.

                    Come join us at 5:30 PM in LP3, 408AB! We've got double digits worth of announcements for you!

                    Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

                      I'm not sure double digit announcements means double digit new licenses, some of those announcements could just be physical releases for existing series, still I'd love to be wrong.

                        @timmaaah I'm kind of hoping that second one is a rescue. I feel like that's what I need right now after waking up this morning and finding out Harmony Gold was able to renew their Macross license again.

                        Whatever they announce, I don't think it would be hard for JNC to come out on top as far as I'm concerned. The only thing I'm interested in out of everyone else's announcements is Bunny Girl Senpai.

                        It could also be something like announcing that we will be able to buy manga with credits here instead of having to go elsewhere. Something I'm actually hoping for.

                        I'm an INTJ so I'm always the bad guy.

                          With what Sam said on Curious Cat recently, a premium manga annoucement seems quite likely.

                          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

                            So was just getting excited that it was almost 530, then I remembered the time difference between California and New York is three hours and I got awhile to go :(
