Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
First two acquisitions both Overlap. Overlap seems to love working with new pubs.
They both had their 2nd volumes release in November in Japan. Let's hope they continue.

Volume 3 of
Welcome to the Diner of the Exiled!has a release date in Japan of June 25, 2020.Just got announced earlier today: http://blog.over-lap.co.jp/shoei2005/

I'll definitely pick up Side Character as I want more room-com light novels and I'm pretty excited this new publisher is starting with one.
I wish them the best and hope that they put out good translations in a timely manner, market then well and give us another quality LN publisher.
-
That is.... interesting...
I can read both languages, but honestly it feels weird to me to read a light novel in Spanish at this point. Will give the rom-com a try once it's out.
-
@Crimson-Wise Hah, agreed. I only read fiction in English at this point.

There’s no way a side character like me could be popular, right? (友人キャラの俺がモテまくるわけないだろ？), 1st volume releases May 29th
going to vote with my dollars
pre-ordering this now because- more translation companies/projects/etc. is a good thing
- romcom...any other translation publishers want some more $$... =more romcoms please
edit to add: not available to preorder on Amazon (USA), yet?
-
@Jon-Mitchell I don't believe there are any preorders anywhere yet.
-
I will preorder as soon as I can on their site (sounds like it'll have lots of different DRM free format options to download there).
-
Holy... Overlap keeps tweeting the covers for Yuujin Chara, so I've been hoping for it to get licensed sometime in the future but I really wasn't expeting it to be so soon!!!
-
I'm excited another translator is jumping on the DRM-free train. That's the biggest reason I read so many JNC titles over other companies, and I'm glad others are following suit.
-
I hope Tentai gets their act together soon, I wanted to show my support by pre ordering but I couldn't even find the option to make an account their website.
-
@Eternal-Wanderer It doesn't exist yet, and preorders aren't up anywhere. I think they jumped the gun with their reveal.
-
@Nosgoroth Definetly, it makes no sense to have a log in option when there is no way to create an account.
-
Guessing that Demon Academy one for hint number 1 in the new announcements. But I'm sure there's other series where magic fades, so let's see what the other hints are..

@Terrence its actually pretty good.

Moist, soft, slippery makes me think of Ore to Kawazu-san no Isekai Hourouki

"J’étais une grande personne" could hints at the light novel version of Sweet Reincarnation, it would explain the use of french for the hint since it's a story about pastry and cuisine and some of the names are french.
Plus "J’étais une grande personnel" can mean "I was a great person" or "I was an adult" and Pas was both a world-class chef even describe (at least in the WN) as a gifted by god, and he also used to be an adult but is now a child. -
@Eternal-Wanderer Alphapolis? I wouldn't get your hopes up...
-
I hope there will be a J-Novel Club Heart novel too.
@Terrence Didn’t this already get licensed?
@Raitoiro “J‘étais une grande personne” could also very well mean Isekai Yakkyoku. The protagonist was an adult when he died from overworking and got reincarnated as a child in a medieval fantasy world mainly based on France. And he was a renowned doctor in his previous life.
It could also mean Fake Cinderella. The protagonist was an adult when she died and got reincarnated as a child in a world loosely based on France too. -
@Clarabelle
Only the manga for Demon King Academy has been licensed so far.
