@liber-monstrorum Earl & Fairy falls under Shueisha and, aside from Jump spinoffs, still mostly untapped. For Heart would be Julian Publishing, Futabasha, Starts Shuppan and more from Overlap great. (Alphapolis too, but they are still dicks)
-
@lotteliese My mistake. I forgot Earl & Fairy isn‘t Kadokawa.
-
I just got a look at Seven Seas announcements, and there is only one title there that I intend to follow and it's a manga. Other than that I wasn't really impressed with this round from them.
-
@lighthawk96 Agreed, there was only one light novel that took my interest this time which was the isekai minecraft with a dark elf wife series.
-
Indeed I liked the isekai Minecraft one when I read the raws. It's suitably insanely over the top and I'll be buying it
-
I'm pretty amused that theirs a light novel title that references Old Man Henderson, I'll definitely give that one a read.
-
@facelessone
That's the one for me as well. I thought it was the manga though, but if it's the light novel I'm still in! -

I feel like I should have a guess for Series 1, but my mind is blanking.
Series 2 has an... interesting hint there, maybe this one?
Series 3 is baffling to me.
Series 4 is also confusing me.
-
@thegrimlich I Really hope you are right about series 2 🤞
-
JNC has given us some more cryptic clues none of which I am able to guess, although I feel like Hint 4 "Not actually an otome game!" is on the tip of my tongue.
-
Given the Japanese publishing dates along with the JNC translation dates, I'm expecting JNC to announce Dungeon Busters vol 3 within the month. Might match the game hint.
Morning and Mourning sound alike for good and sufficient reasons.
-
I'm thinking series 4 might be shiro buta(white pig) link it's a reincarnation into an otome manga, Instead of a game. That might fit the clue.
-
@jcochran Continuing series volumes don’t count as a new license, people would be pretty annoyed if JNC diluted the hints with “next volume” announcements (“Second Path in Life” though I wouldn’t mind…)
-
Well, I'm hoping for the last volume of Second Path in Life but I am sure it is not it.
-
@legitpancake The only re-announced series so far was one that had lain dormant for years.
-
This is unexpected.
I was hoping that JNC would announce new titles on their anniversary next month.
Are these like appetizers before the main course on the anniversary?

@rahul-balaggan said in Acquisitions Speculation - General:
SERIES 2 HINT:
Sometimes it's just as exciting to watch.There was another guess a few posts up which also makes a lot of sense, but I thought of a second title that also fits... Ascendance of a Bookworm: Royal Academy Gaiden 1. It's a book of third party PoV side stories, which means it's all people watching Rozemyne rather than her usual self-narration.
-
@pcj While I really want that one, I don't see it realistically starting prepub before P4V4 since IIRC it was released after P4V4 in Japan, and any licenses start prepub the day of the announcement.
My grasp on sanity remains absolute.
Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?
