#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.
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.

Myucel-chan great to see you again.

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

Damn, the Jintai+GJ-bu dream shattered.
-
Wait for vol.7 for 2 years but the Thai publisher already abandoned this serie
-
Damn I'm so happy about this! Great acquisition team.
-
Seriously, I love you JNC. You're making all my wishes come true <3
-
Awesome! I'm so happy to see JNC expanding no matter what titles we get. Keep up the good work @Sam-Pinansky !!
-
Outbreak Company makes me incredibly happy, I have hoped to read that one for years. Thank you Sam!
-
Just dumping this picture of a female protagonist and her "master" sword.
It could be a total red herring though. -
@john-collins the problem is that "Shisho" is nominally the protagonist (Fran doesn't even feature for a while in the LNs, although the manga skipped ahead) and I can't make it fit any of the other clues either :(
-
@shiroi-hane Shes still a protagonist with a "master" sword, but yeah Ive only read a little bit of the light novel so far, so this was my best guess. I do hope its true though regardless. At the very least it fits the clue. And on top of that, at the very least it has a few novels out with an ongoing manga.
Frans shows up in the second chapter of the light novel though. But you are right about the manga skipping ahead.
