Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
@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.
-
"When the magic fades..." could mean a J-Novel Club Heart title, specifically The Redemption of the Blue Rose Princess. The heroine, a queen is madly in love with her husband the king and sees him and all what he does through rose colored glasses. Only right before her cruel death, she realizes he did never loved her and even had an affair the whole time. Her whole world collapses after that realization. The magic of love faded, it was never there in the first place...
On another thought, "J'étais une grande personne" could also mean Musketeer Rouge. Although the heroine doesn't know it at first, she was/is originally of pretty high status. And the world is also loosely based on a medieval France too. -
It’s possible that “When the magic fades...” could refer to Legend, where a soul from another world is summoned to keep certain magic from being lost entirely. The more I think about the hint, the more convincing I find the romance interpretation, but I enjoy guessing.
-
Just a reminder that J-Novel Club will be live in less then 15 minutes on Twitch
-
Weird that nobody has mentioned this yet as it's been on Reddit for a few hours, but J-Novel Club & Yen Press will have virtual Anime Expo panels (on Twitch) on July 3rd:
https://www.anime-expo.org/plan/schedule/
The timing for the J-Novel Club panel is a bit unfortunate for Europeans though, that's like 2 AM Saturday for me. I'm not going to stay up that late.
Edit: New licenses confirmed for J-Novel Club (no surprise here, Quarkboy already said as much at the stream earlier this month):

@GHDpro Yeah, same. I'll just have to wake up to the news.
-
Will we get hints again? It was really fun the last time.
