Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
@jaquobus He just prepped the page, the hints will come later.
-
Wow, 5 & 5. I was expecting more manga and maybe a couple of LNs. Glad I was wrong. Now to wait for the hints... though I guess it won't be long either way since Sam mentioned the manga are coming out mid November.
-
You know I feel like we are all very lucky right now, even 4-5 years ago the idea that we could get to read so many LN beyond mostly poorly translated fan stuff would be crazy. Just from J novel club alone we will have gotten more than 20 new translated series or stand alones in just 2018, that’s crazy stuff.
I guess I’m just really glad to be able to legally access the medium I love so much is what I’m trying to say.

I know what you mean. The memory of Yen Press discarding the original covers for Spice & Wolf in favor of westernized ones seems a distant memory at this point...
-
@korppi Sometime the westernize cover can be better, the new cover for the french edition of goblin slayer look way cooler than the jap one
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 -
So we can sort when searching through the catalog between Manga or Novel now, and Most recent, least recent, along with the old A-Z, Z-A.
Of course, nothing listed under manga yet.
-
@raitoiro well I still like the original cover. The series is about the characters and you get a sense that something is not right when you flip the cover anyways.
-
@drone205 The serie is about character but mostly that dude being badass while killing goblin what i feel that cover show more than the jap one. The real problem is more that the next volumes will probably have the jap cover so vol1 won't fit that well with the rest of the serie.

New hints up for 5 manga and placeholders for 5 lns on the announcement page
Manga #1
Now with "enhanced" character designManga #2
Just call TerminixManga #3
Preferred ApacheManga #4
The manga we deserve, but...Manga #5
Are we sure this isnt a touhou?Considering the description I think it is highly likely that #1 is Realist Hero due to the complaints about the changes to the character designs from the lns.
-
When will the new LNs be revealed?
-
@smiley_101
if everything stays on track around Thanksgiving, could be before could be after.Scratch that looks like manga is set for around Thanksgiving, and LN will just come in “winter”
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@sniper_samurai I think you're right about #1; but I still hope we're all wrong. Realist Hero's manga art looks really bad to me 😐
-
@rahul-balaggan here's to hoping we get "Rakudai kishi no Cavalry". A man can only dream after all
-
@smiley_101 For some reason, the more time that goes... the further away that dream gets...
-
I do hope we get the Realist Hero manga. The art looks pretty good to me, balloon boob syndrome notwithstanding.
-
Hints are up for the manga!
Spoiler:
Terminix makes me think of that Exterminator other world light novel, but this is a manga title, so idk. It does have a two volume manga as well, so hmmm.

"Now with "enhanced" character design"
One of the hints.
-
Yeah, my guess for #1 is Realist Hero. All the females in the series got... upgrades. Don't get me wrong, I'm normally a fan of that sort of character design, it's just that in this case it's a change from what was already established.
-
I didn't look much into the hints yet, but if #2 is Exterminator, then I'm all for it. I've been checking out the WN + manga scanlation and I like it!
-
Not sure if I'd like Exterminator, myself, but not everything is for me. I read the WN and it ... just got repetitive. He doesn't do anything and it's not the fun sort of slice of life. Though that's WN, so they could've edited it for manga/LN.
-
@dtta From what I've read of the manga, which I suppose is based on the LN, the story is already a bit different at the start.
