      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.

          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?

            lol, So happy I got it right. It was my top guess for a series to be licensed when Seven Seas licensed the manga, but not the LN.

              Hahaha! One catgirl series down one more to go! Well to be honest I'd be surprised if it didn't happen after Seven seas acquired the license. As far as the fan translation at least the early bits are concerned. They were pretty bad, grammar and flow wise. I read the prologue a month ago and it gave me a small headache filling in missing parts of sentences. I'd be surprised if it was.

                @tusf It's an entirely new translation and we only released 4 out of 10 parts for volume 1. Plenty left to go!

                  @sam-pinansky Ah, alright. Good to know! I guess I just confused myself is all.

                    Sam confirmed on reddit that the last 3 titles aren't Isekai so I guess that's a new hint.

                        I love the cover illustration. That's almost enough to make me read it, and it seems popular and all.
                        But then, I realized it's harem -my least fav genre.
                        So since there are so many harem I've decided to read all the novels I deemed "not for me" because of the tag. Like Smartphone. Yare yare ^.^

                          Hey @Sam-Pinansky
                          Was Outbreak Company the one with the female lead you hinted at? Or has that yet to be announced?

                          @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.

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

                                  @_08 Female protagonist, without an annoying fairy? (Could it still be a fairy? Just not an annoying one?), and Not actually a Tensei (Takes place likely in another world, but there isn't reincarnation or summoning. Interesting.).

                                    @aratashikun I feel like it's 魔術破りのリベンジ・マギア somehow, but I have no idea on how the lack of a fairy is related.

                                    It probably could end up being it. Being that HJ Bunko promoted the series on many sources, of course.

                                      @student-no-0 I'd be a bit sceptical, as it was stated on reddit that all 3 remaining series were from the 2 new publishers.
