Acquisitions Speculation - General

I wonder if we'll get the sequel to Zodiac War? First Zodiac War was kind of a weirdly presented death game type story. I think the next one brings in more competitors (maybe more victors / survivors too? I can hope).
I'm hoping for Imperfect Girl novel. Dunno if I should suck it up and read the manga instead.

@terrence
I saw the cover and I just don't understand it.
All the 12 warriors we know + 12 criminals with western Zodiac signs.
(I wonder why VIZ didn't include the manga chapter in the book)I also don't wanna pick up Imperfect Girl manga.
I kinda don't like LN-based manga. -

I kinda don't like LN-based manga.Imperfect Girl is not a manga. The Manga is the adaption, not the other way around.
Edit: Just after posting I realized you probably meant you do not want to read the Manga and that you don't like Manga adaptions of LN.

And that's exactly what I meant~✧

Updated.
Can someone tell me which titles are from Shogakukan? Or has that title not been announced yet. It's been a while.
-
@fezu so far nothing announced from Shogakukan
-
According to this reply by Sam, the last 2 unannounced series are basically done being translated for volume 1! Though I bet they’re still gonna only post the first 4 parts at once and then do the next 4 parts weekly.
-
I am still holding out hope the first Shogakukan title is Sasami-san@ganbaranai. But hey, what do you guys think it's going to be?
@legitpancake Interesting, I am surprised about this. They must be rather huge titles then.

This post is deleted! -
The Magic in this Other World is Too Far Behind! is for Better Late Than Never
-
So we have one book left that is "Not a Light Novel" and "A Personal Story"?
-
Updated. I guess its' going to be an interesting novel.
-
wait if Sam said the last two announces were basically done for vol 1 translations then are we going to get a 3rd fan-translated series? If so then this could narrow down the possibilities. just narrow down to credible or good fan-translations and then there would not be that much left, all it would take is the hint and we could have a reasonable guess.
-
@drone205 that is indeed a possibility!
-
If he hired the fan translator in the first place and has enough trust in that "published" version, then I suppose that cuts out the translation step entirely. Otherwise it would depend on how familiar with the fan translation the editor is already, since if you have a translation checker go over the fan script first, that's going to take about as much time as a translator translating from scratch.
-
If we're talking about quality translations with a volume already fan-translated, maybe Sam has finally broken through the Kadokawa barrier and grabbed 86.

Not a Light Novel
When was that hint mentioned?

It was the first hint, they gave 2 hints per title, apart from the fifth one.
-
To go with "Not a Light Novel", maybe it isn't a novel-novel, but not a light novel. In other words, a heavy, emotional novel.
could fit there.

@terabyte
Ah~
I only started playing the guessing game recently so, I didn't know...
