Acquisitions Speculation - General

catstorm

That’s not as bad as the time I was ordering on book depository and ended up with a German copy of a manga.

DTTA

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.

Timmaaah

@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.

catstorm

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?

catstorm

@rahul-balaggan

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.

Hyferzftw

Here on Mars it’s always winter.
Well my guesses are around the end of December probably near the holiday week.

Terabyte

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.

Timmaaah

@paulnamida Ah true, I personally am only reading the LN, so I haven't read the WN or the Manga, so I don't really know what goes on in them.

However Vol. 4 is currently in the mail according to the email I got last week, so not much longer to wait :D

Terrence

Yen Press is teasing something on their Twitter.

We have a BRAND NEW license announcement for you tomorrow that will BLOW. YOUR. MIND. Are you ready?!

https://twitter.com/yenpress/status/1070752561781719040?s=20

People are hoping for Bunny Gal in the comments.

Terabyte

Maybe it's gonna be Shield Heroine since they've just announced the anime. I hope not though, if they get it it will take ages for each volume to come out... JNC really has spoiled us 😅

BloodyGaikotsu

@terrence
I say it's the Konosuba Megumin spin-off based on the blowing part?

Hyperion

@bloodygaikotsu
Makes sense to me. I doubt they would announce something huge like Bunny Senpai on Twitter and not at a convention. But a spin-off of a series they already have? Yeah I can see that. I'd be pleasantly surprised if it was a major license though.

Raitoiro

@terabyte I've never eard of that spin off, is it good ?
I've eard that

spoiler

But as one piece book as the licence for the main serie, were not going to get a spin off from an other publisher, so you can also forget about JNC getting it.
And Onepiece book is unlikely to allready publish an other spin off when they just licence the spear hero spin off.
