      @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.

                      @drone205 My problem with the original cover is you can think that will be a funny manga with cute characters and others ...
                      Oh we have cute characters but hey ...
                      We have beautiful ones too (The sorceress !).
                      Anyways, about the 10 new acquisitions, because i'm bad with that, i will just wait...
                      But good job J-cafe for novel in real books and for manga ! :)
                      I will look at it. ;)

                        Manga #3
                        Preferred Apache

                        I'm guessing this is a title that's similar to a webserver or helicopter name.

                          Didn't Sam basically confirm that the Dendrogram manga was coming in the Discord months ago? I think I remember reading that.

                          Other than that, the Realist Hero and Exterminator manga both sound likely.

                            @sniper_samurai The first could also be The faraway paladin, the artist is the same that did the Grimgar manga so the art isn't really good most of the time. And so characters design are quite strange.

                            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

                                @guspaz I looked at the drawing style and LN images are way better. The upgrades were not even necessary.

                                  also could involve a motorcycle. I remember some LN/Manga having some middle aged dude riding a motorcycle in a fantasy world.

                                    Would love to get that one. It has a lot of volumes out too (it's up to volume 7). =)

                                    Don't know anything about that Apache hint though.

                                    You think we'll get any manga that don't have light novels in this set?

                                      Just call Terminix

                                      be a reference to Infinite Dendrogram's beginning?

                                        Another random guess for the Terminix hint.

                                        While it seems to be referring to The Terminator, maybe it's referring to "Who You Gonna Call? GhostB(ug)sters" too? ...(tugs at neck sleeve) cough, cough.

                                        Still hope it's Exterminator though.

                                          One little bump for discussions sake.

                                          "The manga we deserve, but.."

                                          That's a Batman reference, right? The "hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now..." quote comes from the Dark Knight apparently if that is the case. So maybe something with a Dark Knight?

                                          Just a random guess that I don't know has anything to do with Dark Knights: The Legendary Hero is Dead manga. Because it was a hero that thought he was needed by the village, but nope, and he
