      ok, Dr. Pepper is the N1. Drink. THIS IS A FACT! Anyone who denies this is not a PERSON but a ROBOT ALIEN MASQUERADING AS A HUMAN.

      with that in mind, I believe this hint means we will be getting a series about Doctors or Pharmacists.

      PSA Time: if you see someone who does not like Dr. Pepper, remember to call Space Patrol that a Robot Alien is masquerading as a human.

        There's quite a few good pharmacy Isekai / fantasy series, so I'd like that. I want Parallel World / Different World Pharmacy because I like the covers (and I'm curious about the older silver haired gal that features on most of them).

        ...I don't like Dr. Pepper. If I drink soda, Cream Soda is where it is at. Of course, you already knew I was a pink alien masquerading as a human. =P

          “One of roots’s favorite drinks”

          I'll give a few more clues I have got for this one.

          roots refers to the author of Teekyuu manga.

          It is an Isekai.

          It is pretty good.

          It has a Kurounin - someone who has worked and suffered hard to get where they are.

          It is not that popular

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isekai_Izakaya_"Nobu" Maybe? I’m guessing beer as Root has a manga about beer, but that doesn’t cover the “worked hard to get where they got” thing, so...

              Have at it! You only have over 400 possible wrong guesses. =P

              Edit: Dawn of the Final Day. Less than 24 hours remain.

                Periscope Fireworks test:

                Hopefully this means Periscope is good to go now at the convention. =D

                For now... Waste time until 3:30 East Coast time.

                  @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?

                        @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 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
