      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.

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

                          "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."

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

                                  @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).

                                            That would be an awesome one, and it's actually complete now.
