        Tsuki no Sango

        Isn't that like 50 pages or something?

          @hakomari would be why you won't want it to end (?). Just named it for fun XD It'd be too much of a troll if it actually was it

              Idk why this came to mind, but Ro-Kyu-Bu! for #4 - "ironically, it doesn't need a club" - it's about a Basketball Club but you don't need a club to play basketball. "The flatter, the scarier" could be a reference to the main cast being made up of lolis mainly. I have had very little exposure to the series but it just popped into my mind while looking at the clues and I'm not sure why…

              Also, Dengeki Bunko has offerings in English avalible from both YP and, more recently, Seven Seas, so it's not impossible for J-Novel to start licencing titles from them! I mean, this seems like a weird choice based on some of the great titles DB has, but we'll see where this leads if that's the case, I guess…?

                So with the new newsletter we have the additional hint that one series is suited for Halloween. I hope that means horror/mystery, but maybe Sam and Aimee are just trolling and its about someone getting reincarnated as a pumpkin.

                So do we think we'll get this title announced by Halloween? Running out of time. =[

                  Word is it's still working its way through various sets of lawyers, so I'd guess it might not be Halloween. Though I suppose there's still a chance if it happens to get through all of a sudden on Monday or Tuesday JST.

                      Google Doc found on this topic.

                        I'm now worried about how long its been taking. I mean Outbreak Company was the first of the group and its almost to ebook publishing now.
                        Unless the bossman is just holding off on releasing them till we hit a lull.

                          As of yesterday they were still going through the final legal paperwork.

                            These things take time. I'm not too worried.

                                Huh. Not really my sort of book, but that's okay. Good to have a broad variety for everyone, I got 3 this batch. Outbreak is 'YES!', New Life is 'Very Good' and Demon is 'Enjoyable'. Good enough. :)

                                  More new titles this month. From a Curiosity Cat question to JNC (and reposted on Twitter):

                                  I'm in love with light novels. Any ideas when you will announce more new titles? — Definitely a few this month.

                                    @terrence Arifureta Zero is already the first. I’m definitely ready for some new content.
                                    Also hoping for For My Daughter V5 this week, and maybe Paladin.

                                      Those aren't new, though.

                                      I'm hoping one or two from Overlap like Lazy Dungeon Master. And maybe if we're REALLY LUCKY a non-Yen Kadokawa property, but that's a long hope.

                                        Will there be new license announcements soon? — Yes! I have 5 series in various stages of readiness.

                                          One of them is from Overlap.

                                            Gotta be this one!

                                            (I'm not serious, though I wouldn't mind a "Muscle head Aniki" story). xP

                                            World Teacher is a possibility maybe? They have a few interesting looking series in the novel section (I don't know which of the "Immortal Adventurer" / "Skeleton knight" books are good though).
