Acquisitions Speculation - General

@aruseus493 said in New Acquisitions Speculation General [5 NEW AQUISITIONS ANNOUNCED! New Hints added!]:
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.
-
Haven't seen this work, so can't comment specifically. But.
Issue is if it's simply a deuteragonist who's female, they already have a lot of those, so it's nothing new. :) It has to be the main protagonist for the clue to really have any meaning.

Well heres the KR to Eng translations(LN) if anyones interested(yes its licensed already in KR). Translator at least appears to be decent although its possible minor things got lost in translation somewhere) Pretty sure arts done by the same artist as unbreakable machine doll if anyone cares.
https://wakga.wordpress.com/2016/12/19/nothing/ <manga too for justice. -
Minding my own business, when my RSS feed notifies me J-Novel uploaded a novel I don't remember them having; How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord!
I actually like this series, and have been following the fan-translation for a while. I wonder though; does the fact that a whole Volume was pushed out at once mean this is an edited version of the fan translation?
