OrCould You Love a Pervert...
AKA HensukiIf I recall correctly, it’s a current anime and relatively popular
-
Next ones I really want that are known properties?
Ideal Sponger Life
Shield Heroine (I Hate Being in Pain, So I made a Full Defense Build)
That Dark Fantasy Yuri one with the eyepatched girl, a title whose name escapes me, but there's a thread for it here.
Edit: This one.
"Omae Gotoki ga Maou ni Kateru to Omou na" (Do you think Someone like you can defeat the Demon Lord?) https://forums.j-novel.club/post/45768Cop Craft I'd also like. Alderamin, Bear, Bear, Bear and Chivalry I want for others (and I would try them too). I'd definitely try reading Hensuki too.
-
Honestly, I want JNC to get Mondaiji since it would then become possible to license Last Embryo and Million Crown which revolves on the same universe.
Although Million Crown is a different parallel world.

Does anyone think it's possible for it to be Date A Live? it is an older title that has had a demand for a long time, season 3 aired at the beginning of this year, and it was announced that there is a new anime project in the works making it current.
The only thing I can think of that makes me not think it's Date A Live is because it is a long series (although I'm personally fine with it.) -
@caramelwithoutthesalt
The conceptual idea of a novel that can please everyone doesn't seem realistic given the varied nature of individual preferences. All we can do is hope a new license happens to align with what we like to read. This will be easier for some than others. -
@eternal-wanderer said in Acquisitions Speculation - General [AnimeNYC Nov 15-17]:
Assassin's Pride
As much as I want AssPride to be among the licensed, from what I remembered from discord, he didn't seem to think very positive about the title. Color me surprise if he changes his opinion then.
I just hope the big one is some fantasy/scifi title.

My "biggie" hopes would be Kino's Journey or Death Mage, which has a popular fan translation. Unfortunately the former has already been said to be unlikely due to a number of factors, and the latter comes from a small company with only one miscellanous title licenced (by SS, I think?), which would probably be harder to break into.

@eternal-wanderer I agree the Ore Wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo would be a good choice as to a potential acquisition. Seems to have potential and could be a good change of pace since a majority of novels are isekai.
Hensuki would be a good pick also!

Via Seven Seas' Twitter:
In this month of delicious treats, we've got MORE manga and light novel licenses coming your way! 🍬🎃🍫 Join us here next week, Monday through Wednesday (Oct 21 - 23), for brand-new license announcements that are sure to blow your gourd! 🤯
-
Nice I got something to look forward to during the long work week
-
I'm not really holding my breath on this one. Pretty much since Mushoku Tensei, Classroom of the Elite and Reincarnated as a Sword were announced, their announcements have all be disappointing
-
oo, yay. hopefully there'll be at least a couple of things that I'll want there. How long is it generally between SS's announcements and initial release dates?
-
@yumenokage
I'd say from 7 months to a year. -
Does the digital first stuff still take 7 months?
T_T
-
@terrence No, they have early digital releases.
-
Even when taking in their early digital release, they still take forever to actually start releasing.
For example, Mushoku Tensei:
Announced: 8th of July 2018
Volume 1 digital release: 4th of March 2019
Volume 1 physical release: 21st of May 2019Still about 8 months from announcement to early release. Classroom of the Elite was announced at the same time, and has the same scheduling.
So even if they announce a new one next week, probably won't see it till mid next year. -
@timmaaah Well, there are other examples that could be more in line with how these next announcements might be scheduled.
Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!
- Announced Sep 11, 2017
- Digital release Feb 1, 2018 (+5 months)
- Print release Jun 12, 2018 (+9 months)
Reincarnated as a Sword
- Announced Jan 9, 2019
- Digital release May 2, 2019 (+4 months)
- Print release Aug 6, 2019 (+8 months)
MT can be considered an exception because it was obviously a big crowd-pleaser and they probably wanted to announced it at AX even if it meant longer waits.
-
@myskaros Classroom of the Elite was also announce at the same time as MT and was only released a month earlier than MT.
I only really picked MT as I was waiting for this to be released for so long, so I really noticed it.
It more of a "don't be surprised if you have to wait awhile for it", plus the first person mentioned it taking 7 months, so I provided 2 recent examples of it taking that long.
At least it's not as bad as YP making us wait a year for the Konosuba spin off....
