Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
These things take time. I'm not too worried.
-
Yay, they're announced!!
-
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.
-
Also said
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).
-
If one of them is an Overlap title, I'll guess Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha

This is the other skeleton knight one. They're both Overlap. =P
Sidenote: It's crazy that of the Bunkos by Overlap, only 3 have reached a conclusion according to Bookwalker.

Rest in peace Isekai ni Tensei Shitandakedo Ore, Tensai tte Kanchigai Saretenai?

This was from Curiosity Cat.
How many more licences do you have that you have yet to announce? And when are you going to announce them? — More than a couple? Less than a handful?
Also, I believe Sam said we may be getting another license announcement before the end of the month. Emphasis on "maybe" in response to the direct question, because we're pretty late in the month now. xD
-
With pretty much many series catch up I hope the newer one would be good. I still hope they license Seiken Tsukai no World Break so that I can get weekly dose of Shizuno.
-
I'm in work and forgot my tablet so can't access social media including Discord but.. this wasn't here yesterday I'm sure:

-
@shiroi-hane It wasn't. New series.
-
Wow, snuck that title in there right at the end of the month! Turns out that "maybe" wasn't like your mom saying "We'll see, maybe we'll go to Disney World next Summer". xP
-
A speculation thread is already up and running on reddit for the new J-Novel license hints, but I'll post them here for any who want to speculate here:
- It happens to me all the time...
- Half an Army of Evil
- They Usually Appear Around Lv 3
- Not a light novel
-
- Not a light novel
O.o
Yay! This opens up a whole world of license possibilities if they start getting novel-novels.
- It happens to me all the time...
Progressive something or other?
-
For not a light novel, the popular one that comes to mind is Hyouka. But I remember Sam talking about trying to get a book that was some kind of non-fiction (I don't remember exactly what it was, but I thought it had some kind of well-known author in terms of manga/anime), so that's perhaps more likely.
