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.

Would be nice, I’m still angry that Seven Seas Entertainment licensed I Swear I Won’t Bother You Again! and She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wiseman. Why is it always this company who gets the good licenses and not J-Novel Club?! Because of amazon’s stupid banning system, I probably won’t even get the kindle books...

@Liber-Monstrorum
Probably cause SS is just more adept at getting more licenses that people want? JNC while they sometimes license requests, tend to just focus on getting completely new stuff while hoping they'll hit big like a gacha machine.I'm quite happy with SS getting stuff cause it means the physicals will be single volumes typically while JNC has been pushing more and more for omnibuses if something gets a print release.
-
Oh, there is still a JNC session on Cloud Matsuri. Curious about why having announcements before the panel; not enough time for them?
Well, not that I care much, just happy to have announcements soon. Hopefully the pending series from the last panel will start soon as well.
-
@Aruseus493 I wouldn't mind getting physical copies, let's leave the question of space aside, but I live in Germany and currently it's incredible difficult to get english books, mainly due to the coronavirus.
-
No new hints yet?
-
@lighthawk96 Nope.
-
@lighthawk96 @Liber-Monstrorum New hints are up now.
-
@jdmmis
Just saw them and now I don't know which direction I'm pointed in. -

Hint #2 supports this one, since the first part of the title translates roughly to "I'm a little older but can I be your girlfriend?"
@Terrence said in Acquisitions Speculation - General:
Title 3: SHUT UP!
My Best Friend's Lil Sis is Only Annoying to Me (stretch).
Seems more likely now given the second hint.
On the Discord people have given "The Ideal Sponger Life" for #4 (I deal/you deal, and of course SpongeBob reference)
As an alternative to Der Werwolf manga for #6, I was thinking the Tearmoon Empire manga (beware the full moon, so tear the moon; also, executing Mia despite her not actually being the leader).
#7 is almost definitely Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf manga.

Beneath the Tangles (the blog I write for) -
Best Friend's Little Sister is Only Annoying to Me looking like less of a stretch with the last hint. But we shall see. =)
I don't really get the second hint below the 17 going on 27 one, but if Imouza does go for the aforementioned hint, Choppiri is another SB Creative work. Edit: I should have read stardf's post before posting, lol.
And hint set 4 I think it was (No, You Deal; Who Lives in an Isekai Under a Queen?) has been thoroughly guessed from other folks (unless there's some funny business).

The translated title is something like "I'm a little older but I can still be your girlfriend right?" 10 years is a bit much to be described as "a little older".
5 is currently being debated as Sekkaku Cheat.

Ah, I forgot Micro Magazine. Are there any other titles Micro Magazine said were licensed that haven't been announced through their Western partner?
