Acquisitions Speculation - General

@hak0 Honestly the first thing I thought of with the "kurounin" hint was "Kamitachi ni Hirowareta Otoko" ("The Man Picked Up By The Gods"), which matches with "isekai" and, as far as my own tastes go, is pretty good. Not sure about "not that popular", but it doesn't seem that well-known.
I have no idea about "roots's favourite drink", though, since I'm mainly only familiar with the manga version so far, and so far the primary drink-like plot development reference is the bathwater of a young maiden (which is the ingredient to make a cleaning slime), which is a little too weird.
Also it's a little too on-the-nose for "kurounin", which probably means it's not correct.
(It's apparently a Hobby Japan publication? Three volumes of the Light Novel out, I think.)
-
When it says "root's favourite drink", it could be a plant - any LN based around water?
-
Here my stab at the root's drink:
Glory to soil magic! -
@fozzedout It says roots's. More specifically, ルーツ mangaka according to @Hak0.
I would suggest bear LN but it doesn't seem 'not that popular'. -

-
Is this real life?
At this point I think every title I've ever wanted licensed except Sasami-san has been licensed. Wow, what a nutty world.
The Kadokawa contract opens up so much too. Man, this is nuts!!!!
-
-
I was nutting all over KC and AmaBuri. And now they add Seirei Gensouki??
@Sam-Pinansky are you that set on giving some of us a friggin heart attack?? I'm hyperventilating!! I have a shift at the hospital tonight so I'm sad I won't be able to read the first parts of both KC and ABP, but I am sure glad that if I pass out I'll have proper attention quickly xD
-
Wow full scale prints. Damn

Wow full scale prints. Damn
They might be able to work with publishers that don't do digital only then! Like I was a sword when I reincarnated!
-
What was the 9th announcement? Or am I missing something here?
-
@fezu I'm thinking print editions was #9, but the panel isn't over so it might be at the end.
-
I thought it was the Teaser announcement. I guess we'll see .. Maybe the App update was an announcement. I guess?
-
The "WRYYYYYYY" one is Seirei Gensouki, right? MC Rio's wry smile is an ongoing joke...
-
So was that all the announcements? I didn't count. (And I dont't know if the "physical print" announcement was one of the listed ones). It was a "Big Announcement", which I assume was that weird lone one in the hints list?
We have a Jyumonji Q+A later too, but I wouldn't want to get my hopes up for more stuff. Just dive into what we got when it goes up.
-
I guess we keep it like this for now.
Still surprised, did the Shogakukan deal get cut? At least we instead got Kadokawa licenses, this opens up a lot of new suggestions. Could get interesting now..
-
I knew the Ryuu / Dragon answer... kind of. I was just learning that in Realist. I would have said one looks like a lizard and one looks like a camel (I think camel was the animal the girl from the other world was confused about?). xC
