      @liber-monstrorum Yeah, we need the next part of I Got Hit By a Truck But I Wasn’t Sent to Another World! What the Heck?!

      The public needs to know what happens next!

        @lily-garden I really hope that we will also get more Kadokawa licenses for the Heart label in future, like Sugar Apple Fairy Tale and Earl & Fairy for example. I especially hope for these longer-running series.

          @liber-monstrorum Earl & Fairy falls under Shueisha and, aside from Jump spinoffs, still mostly untapped. For Heart would be Julian Publishing, Futabasha, Starts Shuppan and more from Overlap great. (Alphapolis too, but they are still dicks)

            @lotteliese My mistake. I forgot Earl & Fairy isn‘t Kadokawa.

              I just got a look at Seven Seas announcements, and there is only one title there that I intend to follow and it's a manga. Other than that I wasn't really impressed with this round from them.

                @lighthawk96 Agreed, there was only one light novel that took my interest this time which was the isekai minecraft with a dark elf wife series.

                  Indeed I liked the isekai Minecraft one when I read the raws. It's suitably insanely over the top and I'll be buying it

                    I'm pretty amused that theirs a light novel title that references Old Man Henderson, I'll definitely give that one a read.

                      That's the one for me as well. I thought it was the manga though, but if it's the light novel I'm still in!

                            I feel like I should have a guess for Series 1, but my mind is blanking.

                            Series 2 has an... interesting hint there, maybe this one?

                            Series 3 is baffling to me.

                            Series 4 is also confusing me.

                            My grasp on sanity remains absolute.

                            Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

                                JNC has given us some more cryptic clues none of which I am able to guess, although I feel like Hint 4 "Not actually an otome game!" is on the tip of my tongue.

                                  Given the Japanese publishing dates along with the JNC translation dates, I'm expecting JNC to announce Dungeon Busters vol 3 within the month. Might match the game hint.

                                  Morning and Mourning sound alike for good and sufficient reasons.

                                    I'm thinking series 4 might be shiro buta(white pig) link it's a reincarnation into an otome manga, Instead of a game. That might fit the clue.

                                      @jcochran Continuing series volumes don’t count as a new license, people would be pretty annoyed if JNC diluted the hints with “next volume” announcements (“Second Path in Life” though I wouldn’t mind…)

                                        Well, I'm hoping for the last volume of Second Path in Life but I am sure it is not it.

                                          @legitpancake The only re-announced series so far was one that had lain dormant for years.

                                            This is unexpected.

                                            I was hoping that JNC would announce new titles on their anniversary next month.

                                            Are these like appetizers before the main course on the anniversary?
