      @Jon-Mitchell A little more history

      Carbon Copy is a reference to the pressure sensitive "carbon paper" that was used when you wanted to print two copies of something on a typewriter. The pressure would change the color of the back sheet (they were loaded simultaneously), while the front sheet had ink applied.

      It is still occasionally used for record-keeping with documents that have to be signed or hand-written, as a pen is effective as a typewriter at triggering the color change (Provided there aren't four layers of copies [personal experience]).

        @piisfun said in Acquisitions Speculation - General:

        Provided there aren't four layers of copies [personal experience])

        you've got to press pretty hard for signatures to get through 4 part (or 6 part) forms

        in the USA - buying a car (at least the last time I did) still needed 4 part carbon copies

        I read banned books

          I'm confused. Is the third license a manga now, or a light novel?

            @Clarabelle All I am certain of is it is some kind of book.

                ...So. Is that a new hint, or what? "Wait, where did this come from?!"

                  To get even more historic, I think what you’re describing there is “carbonless” copy paper. Original carbon copies used two regular sheets of paper with a carbon paper sheet between which transferred through with pressure onto the back sheet. I’ve a box of 35 year old government issue carbons hanging around which I’ve kept because they’re surprisingly pretty on the front: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6MAH3KtpWUNN4ij3A

                    @Shiroi-Hane This is what I like about this forum. You can have completely spontaneous discussions about things like this.

                      Well, there probably won't be a title in it for me, so I don't even know why I'm this exited about the hints this time...

                              I take back what I previously said. I can't believe they licensed A Wild Last Boss Appeared!!!! I'm so unbelievably happy right now!😆😆😆 Deathbound Duke's Daughter sounds interesting too, I will definitely check it out after I've finished reading the first parts of A Wild Last Boss Appeared!.

                                        Guess I'm gonna pass on Deathbound Duke's Daughter for now. Maybe if a new volume comes out or next time it's on catchup and I've got nothing else to read.

                                        I'll check out Fake Princess and read for sure Wild Boss.
