Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
@the-green-death I'd say Yen is consistent in incrementally delayed releases. Once something starts getting delayed it keeps getting delayed several times in succession...
-
Seems there will be more announcements next month during Cloud Matsuri.
PANEL – J-NOVEL Club Manga Panel feat. Live Q&A
J-Novel Club have been leading the way in bringing light novels to the west, translating a variety of titles and making them available on their own subscription service and beyond. The company will be joining us for Cloud Matsuri to talk about what they do, lift the lid on some new announcements, and then take your questions with a live Q&A session.
-
Cloud Matsuri seems to be based on UK as well if I'm not mistaken. Not that it matters much for online sessions, but at least a decent timezone for me to see it live.
-
@Crimson-Wise Yeah it's organised as an online replacement for MCM by Anime Limited.
-
Get ready for more announcements on Friday, November 13, 2020! Puzzle over hints here!
-
Title 1: How parents think of their babies
Title 2: 17 going on 27?
Title 3: SHUT UP!
Title 4: No, you deal!
Title 5: Not FDA-Approved
Title 6: Watch out for the full moon!
Title 7: The adventure of your dreams!
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

That is quite a few titles at once...
-
I'm hoping Title 5: Not FDA-Approved is "Let's Buy the Land And Cultivate in a Different World". I know this might be a stretch but I can hope right!?
-
"Not FDA-approved" Could be "The girl who ate a death god", after all I'm pretty sure Death Gods aren't FDA-approved food.
-
Title 3: My mind instantly snapped to Shakugan no Shana.
Title 4 sounds like a gambling series.
-
@saffire Shakugan no Shana or Zero no Tsukaima
-
Gonna fill with guesses / thoughts.
@Rahul-Balaggan said in Acquisitions Speculation - General:
Title 1: How parents think of their babies
Precious? Breathtaking (Seinfeld reference)? Inseparable? Idk. I feel like it's a word in the title, but maybe not.
Title 2: 17 going on 27?
Gonna guess this one about a 27 year old Office Lady who dresses as a JK (and gets saved by a 17 year old boy when someone tries to assault her on a train). I'd love anything from this author.

Title 3: SHUT UP!
My Best Friend's Lil Sis is Only Annoying to Me (stretch).
Title 4: No, you deal!
I have some gambling series guesses. Will post some later, but don't know what would fit.
Title 5: Not FDA-Approved
Food / Medicine series? There's a few out there.
Title 6: Watch out for the full moon!
Werewolves? Curious what this is.
Title 7: The adventure of your dreams!
Dreams. There's a series where an adventurer marries his childhood friend in a fantasy adventure dream... But it was cancelled. But judging by Welcome to Japan Ms Elf, this is likely a somewhat common premise.
-
@Terrence The last one could be the Japan Elf manga, which is unlicensed. The moon one also may be the Der Werwolf manga.
-
I just had a revelation! Number 5 is "Isekai Yakkyoku" or "Other World Pharmacy"! That fits perfectly!
-
Number 6 is probably "Der Werwolf" manga.
-
@LegitPancake
I just posted the "Der Werwolf" manga one like less that a minute ago. But I think you're right on the "Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf'" manga is spot on as well. Pretty sure I called #5 But we'll see. -
Title 2 is most definitely Choppiri Toshiue Demo Kanojo Ni Shite Kuremasu Ka?
-
Huzzah! New announcement hints! I love watching everyone use their superior knowledge to try to guess the new titles. For my part, I have no clue but I think @LegitPancake and @lighthawk96 are probably right.
-
Dark horse candidate for #4: Akagi. Admittedly, this is because I want to read an official translation for Akagi, since I like the anime quite a bit.
