@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.
-
@aruseus493 Marie is also the co-protagonist of Clockwork Planet.

Nobody knew summoning could be so complicated
I am gonna say Wortenia Senki for this one which is a HJ novel I requested a few months ago. MC gets summoned, kills his summoners, and runs off. I can't think of anything else that fits better for this clue .
-
I'm with @myskaros on Slavemagic for the summoning one, both with Seven Seas just picking up the manga and more importantly their title for it.
The only other one I have an immediate idea for is the female protagonist, because it came up in the license requests forum: Kuro no Iyashi Te.
It is actually quite hard to find decent female protagonists who aren't originally men before reincarnation and where the cover doesn't also look like an otome game (yes, I know I'm picky) and while I know I've found others, I'm blanking on them. -
Female Protagonist could be Eru from Knight's & Magic where its a running gag for people to mistake him for a girl.

That'd be such a troll. =P
-
@village-idiot LOL that kind of makes sense xD
-
It also makes sense for JNC to grab it assuming that one of the new publishers they've signed up with is Shufunotomo.
K&M is (IIRC) the most popular anime on Crunchyroll this season.

Lol, did we both come up with the same idea, or did you read the google doc linked on /r/LightNovels?
-
Only when it said that JNC may have two new publishers and one may be Shufunotomo.
-
Updated the status, really excited about hint #3 and #5. Some of the other pique my interests, looking forward to see what it is!
-
Updated the status with the new hints together with the old ones. Cheer!

@fezu said in New Acquisitions Speculation General [5 NEW AQUISITIONS ANNOUNCED! New Hints added!]:
Sources for the new aquisitions:
https://j-novel.club/announcements (5 Titles!)
Hints are as following:
#1: Fate. Destiny. Tacos? / Did I say tacos? That's so 90s, I meant burritos.
#2: Not actually a part of the nasu-verse / You won't want it to end
#3: Nobody knew summoning could be so complicated / Juggling in Another World?
#4: Ironically, it doesn't need a club / The flatter, the scarier
#5: Finally a female protagonist! / Now without the annoying fairySuper exciting!
Quoting for the bottom of the page. You work fast. xD
So book 1 is an older series from the 90s maybe?
Book 2 sounds like it isn't short, a long series... Or is it just one volume, and the hint is saying it'll end too quickly for you... Hrmmm.
Book 3 hint sounds really specific.
Book 4, flat is not Justice? I guess there's a flat love interest, possibly a Tsundere one that beats up the protag... or Yandere one? 🤔
Book 5 sounds like a Zelda reference (now without Navi). That original hint makes so much more sense now (people have been clamoring for a female protagonist in Zelda). So something that feels like Zelda? The Knights and Magic guess might not be too far off too (remember people thought BOTW's protag was a woman prerelease).
-
@terrence This might seem contradictory but for the female protagonist The Reincarnated Person Doesn't Want to Cheat has fairies that AREN'T annoying so I think it's a possibility. A sort of misleading hint can also make speculating more fun so while I think this title is a rather small possibility it's still one to consider for that hint.
-
Could it be SukaSuka for hint 5?? I mean, the girls the protagonist takes care of ARE fairies. Damn, I'm pumped for this, Ctholly is definitely a protagonist along with the male MC

MC is a magician but he don't understand how summoning magic workThose seem like good guesses. I'm not as familiar with the first (synopsis seems like Realist). For The Different World Magic, I'm just trying for figure out how "juggling" comes in; unless it's juggling a harem.
-
@hatguy12 I have a guess for juggling that fits in wth by best guess for the first clue, in that the main character of Isekai Maou (How Not to Summon a Demon Lord) is named Diablo. Diablo -> diabolo
