Ah, thanks.

So, A license "rescue", huh? I wonder which one...
Rescue in quotation marks... Curious.
Edit: I think this may not be a license rescue on Sam's part, but on a Japanese publisher's part. Someone hinted at one of the licenses being
-
@sam-pinansky Really glad you got both Elf Wife and Lazy DM. Started reading both the f-t's this month, though some of the grammatical errors in LDM made my brain boil.
I am very curious and equally worried about what the snu-snu hint means. -
Any school romcoms among the new titles? I always enjoy them, so would love to see one.
-
@crimson-wise Not in the 2 titles that we already know of. We still have 10 left and another 5 after AX, based on what Sam said. There might be one (or more?) in those 15 titles left...
-
@terabyte Also 2 of the remaining hints are single volume series’.
-
@terabyte I know, it was something more like a wish/request :P
-
@crimson-wise That's what the Licensing Suggestions! forum is for :P
-
I hope Mushoku tensei is part of the anoucement. At least to of the hints ("You Asked for Snu-snu..." and "Highly requested") could corespond.
Do you like death, war and misery ?
Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
Do you like vengeance story?
If so then then vote for The girl who ate a death god -
@raitoiro Yea, but how hard is it to license from Media Factory? J-Novel hasn’t gotten any titles from them before.

AX Announcement #4: A license "rescue"
Now is will it be something that has already been licensed like Kinos' Journey or Aria the Scarlet Ammo or something else? Why is rescue in quotation marks?
-
@legitpancake It may be hard, but anythink need a beginning. And parts of the LN are realeased as bonus with the english version of the manga, so the editor may be willing to export it, even in digital version.
-
"Highly requested" and "They don't make them like they used to"
Maybe... Rakudai Kishi? it would be great.
"Finally my String Theory background comes in handy"
Hmm.... Growth Cheat? -
My guess for string theory is rather than science, it'll be sewing or knitting or something. (If they didn't already have Rokujyouma, I might think that. :)
-
Growth Cheat certainly does have some zany reality stuff going on (like how when you get isekai'd, your existence is erased from the old world and everybody forgets you), but beyond that I'm not really sure how it would fit "string theory"...
That said, I adore that series. I just wish that the author hadn't slowed to a crawl. There were 130+ chapters in its first six months, but only 12 chapters in the last six months.
-
The "string theory" one may be for Kara no kyoukai (the garden of sinner) given how complex are the world, characters and story structure.

Help! I'm drowning!
I can only think of 2 possibilities and both are quite the long shots lol
The Ocean Chronicle Series
From HayakawaAnd
In The Pool
from Bungeishunjuu (Mari's autobiography publisher)
It was translated once then it went outta print. (It's part of a series of 3 books tho)Like is there an isekai where the MC is a marine creature?
-
@raitoiro
That's more of a rescue title tho lol
But Kodansha Novels, huh?
Dunno if Vertical will let him have it... -

AX Announcement #6: Finally my String Theory background comes in handy
maybe has something to do with the string of fate?
-
License "Rescue" could be Hentai Ouji since it was listed by DMG as being licensed at one point. They never released anything though.
-
@aruseus493
That would be great~! (Since I love the series)
But it brings us back to the big Q: whether Sam can license Kadokawa stuff now or not...
