      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.

              Megami? Any good series with that in the name?

                @_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.

                            "Not actually tensei" I see what you did there

                              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 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.

                                      @fezu shit seems like a big deal

                                      I thought the publisher and Sam just usually have a small chat over a cup tea, then the conversation ends with a handshake and a small contract for them to sign 😅

                                      But then again, I don't know shit about business ^.^

                                        @fezu I believe the most recent info is that 2 of the titles are under lawyer review and 1 is ready to be announced soon (I thought "in about a week" was given at some point in the past week).
