        Those 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

            Oh, that's a good find.

              @shiroi-hane Bit of a stretch, but that's such a cute connection. Take my upvote.

              Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                #1: Fate. Destiny. Tacos? / Did I say tacos? That's so 90s, I meant burritos.

                Kara no Kyoukai?

                Set in the 90s, and there's a character named Touko.

                  Another clever guess. I think it's ok to ignore burrito and hone in on the 90s reference, as I think that's the key part of that hint. =]

                  For some reason, I thought of Naruto and Boruto though when I saw the burrito hint

                    Interpreting the them as a pair, it could mean a series that had a title change around the end of the 90s. Something like (Dai) Densetsu no Yusha no Densetsu, though that particular one is completely in the 2000+, and I don't have any immediate ideas for something similar from the 90s.

                      Quarkboy has mentioned on reddit that no one has come close to the first hint yet.

                        So I interpret that to mean some have come close on the other hints. I'll take that as a victory. xD

                          I probably guessed both Isekai Maou and Knight's & Magic correctly which is 2 more than I thought I would have guessed correctly. :3 So I'm happy.

                            That zelda hint I keep thinking it's something to do with the naming of the series. Like the series named after a female character but one of the main protagonist is male. For example Altina the Sword Princess. Also the fairy part, perhaps the fairy isn't the one that's annoying?

                              Google doc already mentions the title's name, but I thought I should point out that the female protagonist in Jintai/The humanity has declined is frequently referred to as 主人公 (shujinko, lit. main character, protaganist, hero(ine), etc.) due to lack of known name and local fairies are arguably cute. Also, both Jintai and GJ-bu (possible #4) are from Shogakukan's GAGAGA.
                              A strong argument against the above - having one of these licensed would be too good, having both would be too too good.

                                We got our first acquisition: Outbreak Company.

                                Outbreak

                                What's going on with her left leg?

                                @sam-pinansky said in Outbreak Company: Volume 1 Discussion:

                                Clue number 1: "Fate. Destiny. Tacos?" -> plus hint burritos instead of tacos = "Fate. Destiny. Burritos." = "It's fate. It's destiny. We both like burritos." -> famous quote from "The OC" -> Outbreak Company.

                                Ahh.

                                      @white-cloud It's a pretty hard publisher to convince to do digital only, but I'm trying!
