          Yeah one pretty high profile licence. And the others look interesting and definitely worth a try

            @rahul-balaggan @Sam-Pinansky could we please get an explanation of the hints?

            Thank you, and thanks for all the new licenses and new prints!

              SERIES 1:
              When? Now!

              https://twitter.com/jnovelclub/status/1437500487096586243

              SERIES 2:
              Sometimes it's just as exciting to watch.

              Reference to the story

              SERIES 3:
              A transient parting.

              Reference to the title

              SERIES 4:
              Not actually an otome game!

              Dumb joke because the title has "Duke's Daughter" in it

                @myskaros Thanks!

                Also, Faraway Paladin is a Print Release?!?!?! YESSSSS!!!!! I have wanted a print release for this series back when I first read it on my library's Overdrive app, back before I even knew what Jnovel was.

                I had two simultaneous reactions to this announcement:

                  @lily-garden so I only got 1 of 4 right, which was about what I was expecting

                    I only guessed Endo but I'm pleasantly surprised to see Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter which was also on my wishlist.

                    Zero Believers Goddess looks interesting so I hope I end up liking it as much as the last titles announced.

                      I’m so happy I’ve been waiting for the goddess with zero believers to be licensed forever

                        Will there be hints again, or not this time?

                            @myskaros What a pity, it is always so much fun guessing the new titles.

                              As long as one of the releases is this title, I'll be happy.

                                @lighthawk96 For me it would be Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, Fake Cinderella and Free Life Fantasy Online. I would be so happy if J-Novel Club actually licenses them! Earl and Fairy would be awesome too, but unfortunately J-Novel Club hasn‘t tied a connection to this publisher yet.

                                  Any word on how many licenses are being announced?

                                  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?

                                    There will be a panel at AnimeNYC on Saturday the 20th at 6:30 pm Eastern Time.

                                    There will also be announcements on twitter, and plenty of conversation in Discord (link available on the bottom of the page on J-Novel.Club)

                                    Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

                                      Since there are no hints this around I shall just have to make random guesses mwahahah:

                                      Heat the pig liver

                                      Fake Saint of the Year

                                      I Summoned the Devil to Grant Me a Wish, but I Married Her Instead Since She Was Adorable ~My New Devil Wife~

                                      Sugar Apple Fairy Tale

                                      Now all that's left to do is to await the announcements and see how wrong I turn out to be...

                                        I'm going to go with five anime series I liked that have absolutely no hope of being acquired:

                                        • Campione!
                                        • If Her Flag Breaks (Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara)
                                        • Kino's Journey
                                        • Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
                                        • Problem Children are Coming from Another World, Aren't They? (Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?)

                                        (See: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/1156/read-first-compiled-list-of-existing-suggestion-topics?page=1)

                                        I predict that the accuracy of my guesses for new LN titles will be slightly less than 0%

                                          My two biggest hopes are Isekai Yururi Kikou (unlikely as it's an alphapolis license) and Rebuild World. But JNC's licenses have been pretty good overall, I think there's always been at least one thing they announce that I end up buying.
