Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
Fate. Destiny. Tacos?
Not actually a part of the nasu-verse
Nobody knew summoning could be so complicated
Ironically, it doesn't need a club
Finally a female protagonist!
-
Sam also said there are 2 new publishers involved on Discord, so that makes guessing a bit trickier. It might still be reasonable to assume Kadokawa (the big one with a controlling share in Yen Press) would still be out of reach for the moment, if just because assuming so allows a huge chunk of potential titles to be crossed out.

Probably Kara no Kyoukai and Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo Dorei Majutsu for 2 and 3. I don't follow the light novel scene quite enough to guess at the other 3 (not to mention 5 is way too broad a hint D:).
-
@hatguy12 duke's daughter for the 5th one? Seven sea has the manga now.

Fate Stay Night! Nah. =P
Maybe that assassin food mascot one, Death Need Round? Probly not though. But I want it!
Not actually a part of the nasu-verse
Soundalike title? Bake-something or other? Something-Monogatari?

Hmmm
Ironically, it doesn't need a club
Fight something or other.
Finally a female protagonist!
I wonder if they'd simulpub that new Seven Seas announcement, Average Powers?, the one with the woman who becomes an idol or something. I hope it's something fresh though.

Does this mean most new info gets released to Discord instead of here? Seems Sam has been largely absent here for the past few months, little bummed I need to head to Discord to keep up.

Nasuverse (Nasu Kinoko) is Tsukihime/Fate/Mahoutsukai/etc. Bakemonogatari is NisiOisin. Although your thought is a good one, maybe it's a title like "Something/something" where people could confuse it for a Nasuverse story?

I think Sam has been absent to some degree everywhere for the past couple of weeks; I think he mentioned he had some travel and things outside of JNC on his plate recently that may be over now. Discord seems a little more conversational most of the time, so I think it's easier for random extra bits (like there being two new publishers) to come out there.
-
He was absent in Discord for a whole month as well.

Ah, whoops.
Even better for me (I like Fate). Those designs kind of looked like Tohsaka in one of the guesses above.
-
Please let"Ironically it doesn't need a club" be Gamers, I need that series on my tablet.
-
So series dealing with summoning:
Fate/Zero (the "not the Nasu-verse" clue is misdirection)
Zero no Tsukaima (summoning gone wrong for one hapless schmuck)
Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts!Doesn't need a club:
Is there a novel equivalent to The Going Home Club?
Maybe something about a club that doesn't really exist like Haganai, or is forced into existence like Kokoro Connect? -
on the "Not actually a part of the Nasu-verse"... my bets are on either Fire Girl or DDD. Both are Type-Moon works but not actually part of the Nasu-verse, also, the hint could be pointing to Fire Girl since it was not written by Nasu (unlike DDD, but it could be just wishful thinking, I want more BUNBUN art in my life)
And for "finally a female protagonist"... PLEASE BE BLACK HEALER!!! I know there's plenty of others but I need Black Healer XD
-
@the-green-death Sorry I really should read the forums more but I'm trying to focus on more important work stuff.
-
@hatguy12 I was in the US for family issues for 2 weeks and then after coming back I've tried to focus on some person things like cleaning my apartment and getting my life back into a reasonable state, as I've been neglecting that.
I'm now back in a better place on most standpoints and can start pressing forward more, though I do plan on limiting my forum participation comparatively.
-
@sam-pinansky Just as long as someone is around to check on the Support forum regularly!
And glad to hear you're taking care of yourself. One's most important business asset is oneself after all. -
Ooh, new hints to speculate on! "Not actually a part of the nasu-verse" makes me think DDD - as much as I want Kara no Kyoukai, it is definitely tied in with his other major works. My brother will be very happy if it's DDD since he's wanted to read it for ages. :)
Regarding the "female protagonist", I would love it if it was Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami butttt it's published by Kadokawa so I'm not holding out much hope. Still, fingers crossed!
-
@eternal-wanderer I just started watching the anime. I'd love to see Gamers get translated.
-
@sam-pinansky totally fair. Work/life balance is important and it sounds like you were going really full on for a long time here. We all appreciate the heck out of what you do and J-Novel and though I'll miss your being as regular a presence on here, as long as you and he company are healthy - it's no big deal.
-
Finally a female protagonist!
Was just chatting with a friend who wants Black Healer and when I thought about this hint, I realized that we already have a series with a female protagonist.
- UchiMusume features Dual-Protagonists of Latina and Dale.
- Paying to Win in a VRMMO actually has the female protagonists take the main role more than the Young Heir.
