One title I can think of is “I applied as a swordsman, but my magic is at 9999” or something along those lines that’s my hope at least
-
I'm hoping for "I Hate Being in Pain, so I Made a Full Defense Build" or Shield Heroine. That one will probably get an altered title though, doesn't fit for the "we didn't have to do anything to the title" hint.
A few others I'm putting my hopes in JNC getting since I think they'd fit their majority target audience.
-
@terrence that’s my other hope right there but as you said that title would need to be changed so that’s why I didn’t mention it
-
Sam mentioned that some of them wouldn't have to be changed, not all of them so any unlicensed series is fair game.
-
@terrence Oh, that one'd be nice.
-
We lack romcoms so hopefully we get some. At least that’s what I hope are some (One at least) of the licenses that we get.
-
I think Sam mentioned wanting rom-coms before, but said a lot of them lie behind publishers and labels he didn't have yet.
Hopefully he sweet talked some new labels for this conference. x)
(Gamers, Hensuki, or Oresuki plz; or some wild fun thing we haven't heard of yet).
-
Hm, there aren't that many titles that don't need changed for an English audience. Gamers and Cop Craft seem like good guesses.
Wonder how the Marginal Operation manga has been doing for JNC. If it's been okay then the original LN might be an easy target.
Mayyyybe Heavy Object? That's not licensed yet right? I don't care for it but a Kazuma Kamachi title might be seen as a feather in the cap for JNC.
Edit: Wait a minute Slayers doesn't require a new title

last time I checked Heavy Object still is unlicensed (It's still up on BT and they are very conscientious about taking down fan translations when licensed in English)
I liked the Anime, the books a little less so- but that might be more about the fan translation vs. the source works. (and it was also years ago...)

I had given up on Gamers! because of Kadokawa, but now....

@caramelwithoutthesalt Not the briar patch! Please, anything but the briar patch!

@nosgoroth Sorry it's not really linked to the discussion, but what does "briar patch" mean in that situation ?
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 -
@raitoiro It references an old story in which a rabbit begs a fox not to throw him into a briar patch. The fox then does exactly that, without realizing that that was exactly what the rabbit wanted, because as he was familiar with the briar patch he would be able to escape that way.
Perhaps Caramel was trying to use reverse psychology on Sam to get him to license Gamers?

@raitoiro You don't know Uncle Remus? :)
-
@crey Yes, never heard of him before, well aside from a list of forbidden cartoons (because of "Song of the South").
