Acquisitions Speculation - General

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?!

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 😅

@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.

BloodyGaikotsu

@raitoiro
I believe he means this one

Terabyte

@raitoiro Indeed, I meant the one @BloodyGaikotsu linked.

Raitoiro

@terabyte ok, my bad i didn't eard about this one getting an anime too.

BloodyGaikotsu

@raitoiro
Well, @Terabyte 's wording is a bit confusing since the title doesn't have shield or heroine in it to begin with.
It was just educated guess on my part lol

Terabyte

The anime was announced yesterday and we talked about it in Discord, so yeah, I didn't think of differentiating it better 😅

LegitPancake

@bloodygaikotsu Holy crap you were right lmao

BloodyGaikotsu

Praise me more~

Oh well, I haven't started Konosuba yet so I don't care for now. And release date is June 2019...

Terrence

New hints are up! =)

Any guesses?

Edit: I got nothing. I mean, I feel like the "surprisingly no anime adaptation" one will be guessed (only so many manga about anime that don't have adaptations... You'd think). x)

New hints are out.

Manga Hints:

The Manga Adaptaton of LN#1 (#1 as in Complete the Triptych)
Not Actually An Imouto Harem
Now With Less Laborious Lecturing
Fall In Love All Over Again
Ironically No Anime Adaptation

LN hints:

Complete the Triptych
My Frenchman Will Be Pleased (Reference to The Obra Dinn)
It's Definitely Not Stocks
Abe's Last-Ditch Solution

For "Complete the Triptych" (and its corresponding manga), a triptych is a three-paneled painting, so I figure it's the "third" in a set, and in thinking what are there three of that JNC could complete, what first came to mind are FUNA's three major LNs; with Seven Seas getting Abilities Average and Sol Press getting 80k Gold, that would leave JNC with I Shall Survive Using Potions. And yes, it has a manga adaptation.

As for "It's Definitely Not Stocks", given the earlier Curiouscat answer that one title is a reverse isekai, maybe The Hero's Success Is Now?

LegitPancake

"Fall in Love all over again" better be Elf Bride manga!

Terrence

Fall in Love all Over Again sounds like it'd be a time travel thing if it isn't just implying it's something we already have that we'll be reading again.

Any major time travel romance manga?

I feel like the 3 Ls is a major hint too on the Less Laborious Lecturing one.

I'm going to peruse the Bookwalker popular manga lists a bit, but I doubt I'll make many if any connections. T_T

Edit: Oh, I have a guess for the "Fall in Love all Over Again" hint. It may be that Yuri where the girl gets Amnesia. I gotta look for it.

Edit 2: Cheerful Amnesia. That's my guess at least.

@terrence Now With Less Laborious Lecturing sounds like a manga adaptation of an existing JNC title, one I suppose has a lot of laborious lecturing that the manga cuts out. Don't know which one, though (might be one I've yet to read).

Edit: Also yay 1000th reply in the thread!

DTTA

If it is a JNC title, is there an Undead Adventurer manga? Lot of people commented on how much exposition was in the LN.
