Acquisitions Speculation - General

Another interesting tidbit from the Curiouscat!
Regarding the 5 series your in discussions for...are any isekai? I love the isekai genre and hope we get lots more.
It should come as no surprise that some are isekai and some are not! One is reverse isekai though.
So there's a reverse isekai title in the mix! I personally have really wanted to see more reverse isekai in the English LN-sphere in general so this is great news to me. As for what that reverse isekai title might be... I'll let those more familiar with what LNs are out there speculate on that.

Well... My wishful thinking hopes for this. x)

Apparently the definition of reverse Isekai is contentious though, lol. But this one has both the (rejected) hero returning to his world, and a princess being reverse Isekai'd there as well (by accident?).
This one does have a manga adaptation as well that is just starting up (one volume released so far, and it has chapter releases on Bookwalker as well).

I'm hoping it's the Overlap title, The Hero's Success is Now! which has caught my interest back when it was announced.

I love the colors on that cover. =)

The only time I read manga is when I accidentally buy them at Yenpress. It’s kinda a waste like someone mentioned IMO since I get less time of entertainment. This has happened to me 4 times now. I’m not sure if I’m to blame for “accidentally” buying manga tho cuz not all their licensed titles does it say “manga” or at least it didn’t when I accidentally bought them.

This happened to me with Slime. It's sitting on my desk unread. T_T

That’s not as bad as the time I was ordering on book depository and ended up with a German copy of a manga.
-
I only read manga if there is no LN available, or if it's known to be markedly different. I prefer LN most of the time.
-
@terrence I binge read slime in like 2 days now I gotta wait for v4 which luckily is out in December 11 but unfortunately have to wait til April for v5. Hopefully the anime doesn’t spoil v4 or 5. I actually like the anime it’s doing a awesome job for now.
-
@hyferzftw Considering that the anime took 8 episodes to do the first book, if they keep that pace, they will only adapt 3 books.
-
@terrence The Slime manga is really great though :o one of the few LN manga adaptations I collect.

I'm just bitter about grabbing the wrong thing. T_T
I'll probably read Slime LN next month since the anime is airing now.

I wonder when we might see some hints for the new LN announcements?
-
@catstorm it was said in “winter” and it’s still technically fall, so maybe end of the year surprise?
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

Well isn’t that peculiar summer official starts in Australia on the 1st of December so I just assumed Winter would start on the 1st as well in the north.
-
@catstorm Here in Ireland winter started on November 1st. Much more logical system with the Equinoxes and the Solstices bang smack in the middle of the seasons.
-
Here on Mars it’s always winter.
Well my guesses are around the end of December probably near the holiday week. -
I recall Sam said Manga in November and LNs in December. So we should get at least 1 LN (or more?) soon.

@timmaaah the OP teases Rimuru's fight with Hinata which happens on vol. 4 I believe.

Hinata
From what I've read, supposedly there will be 24 episodes. So it's possible they may cover more books. I personally don't think the 2nd book will take as many episodes because overall it was very straightforward. However if they stick with 8 episodes per book then they definitely will cover only 3 books.
