Acquisitions Speculation - General

Sam Pinansky

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

TUSF

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

Aruseus493

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

@aruseus493
well heres still hoping to frans story. Since its technically tensei. Otherwise this boats sunk.

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.

Megami? Any good series with that in the name?

AratashiKun

@_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.

Fezu

Man, sorry for being slow had to go to /r/lightnovels to see that there were new hints!

Jaquobus

@student-no-0 The latest one: https://www.reddit.com/r/LightNovels/comments/74fylf/jnovel_club_license_hints_updated/

Artemis1990

No 5 might be... "First thing I think about after reincarnating: For now, get naked."

Konchen

"Not actually tensei" I see what you did there
oh well, back to binging rokujouma.

_08

I wonder if capitalization in the latest hints is a hint as well.

@artemis1990 I don't think "new publisher" is going to be "actually, that's an individual author, not a publishing company."

ImIlyaz

So any idea when the next LN will have its announcement? :3

Hyferzftw

@imilyaz I'm betting Monday

Fezu

@imilyaz Sam confirmed to us that the next announcements contracts are under review by the publishers lawyers.

So it might take a while or not, depending on how long it will take to review the contracts for the next titles.

Should be relatively soon or maybe not.
