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... -
@guspaz Is for the Imouto. In the story she travels to another world by herself (she made complex calculations).
Well.. it's only a hint.

Like is there an isekai where the MC is a marine creature?That one where the MC is a female Orca.

That orca ends up being grounded on grass at the start and flies through the air though...

AX Announcement #8: They don't make them like they used to
I have a feeling that this will be something about a lost magic or a lost art, where in the past things were more powerful or were better than the modern world. or MC using knowledge or power from the past like that one with the MC reincarnates hundreds of years in the future where magic has declined.
Though I want Magicraft Meister where MC uses knowledge from the previous holder of that title (from thousands of years prior) and makes new things.
Edit: I also think there should be a "C" between the "A" and the "Q." you have it spelled like that the first time but the All-Caps versions are not.
-
@zchronos The calculations weren't to send her to the isekai, though, just to calculate exactly when and where she needed to be so that it would happen.
-
@drone205 Could be a novel about saving people, or some series that was licensed by a failed publisher previously (like maybe an old Tokyopop LN) bit still is going strong with a decent fanbase here in the West.

It could also be 7th, were the MC is able to speak to his Ancestor and at the beginning most of them are trashing him for being weak and not worthly of the house name.

@raitoiro I tried reading that one when the ft first started it.
Personally, i kind of enjoyed the way the ancestor treat him, but if that was the reason you drop it u should give it an other try because it's gone by vol2, and the ft is now compled

@terrence
That's even way more of a long shot lol -

@terrence
That's even way more of a long shot lolMore of a never shot since it's Kadokawa (well, never say never I guess). But yeah, I hear marine, my mind goes there (and to George Costanza). xP
Edit: Just for funsies, here's a Bookwalker light novel search excluding the word "Kadokawa" from the search.
https://bookwalker.jp/search/?order=rank&qcat=3&np=0&qnot[]=Kadokawa&x=12&y=15
If anyone has the Japanese names of other publishers we know JNC almost certainly doesn't work with, I could try excluding them too.
Edit 2: Ascendance of a Bookworm a possibility? I don't remember if it was highly requested or no.
Edit 3: Bookwalker search with all those exclusions:
-
@terrence
Shogakukan | 小学館
AlphaPolis |アルファポリス
Micro Magazinesha | マイクロマガジン社That's all I guess?
We just don't know about the rest...

@legitpancake I'm wondering if either of those single volume titles will be non-fiction.
-
Here are some of my notes for the guesses. Posted them on reddit, just follow the parent comment.

@hak0 I'm reeeeally careful about getting hyped for Rakudai, but those are some pretty good points. My heaaaaart!
