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.

Crimson Wise

I'd go with Isekai Mahou for the "Less Laborious Lecturing" hint, since half of each volume is the MC giving lectures on magic. (Haven't read the manga to compare how different is at this though.)

Abe's Last-Ditch Solution

When I read this, I thought of the whole abduction issue and North Korea.
The reminded with Gate but that's ouuta question...I guess

Aruseus493

@bloodygaikotsu
I'd love for it to be Gate, but that's more of a wishful thing for me rather than having any real chance of getting rescued. I doubt Sam has managed to meet Alphapolis too. At least, he hasn't last we heard. (Less than a month ago I think.)

DTTA

Hmm.

Could be something based on the stories of Abe no Seimei, like Tokyo Ravens and other things. I'd love Tokyo Ravens, but that's Kadokawa and I dunno if Sam can get another Kadokawa property that soon. :) Could be another urban fantasy like that, though.

Not Actually An Imouto Harem

It might be Kawaiikereba Hentai demo Suki ni Natte...but I prefer not tbh
since, I prefer getting the LN.

BloodyGaikotsu

@aruseus493
Just typing out my thought pattern.

Abe's Last-Ditch Solution

Hope this doesn't mean it's just really ecchi series like Hybrid × Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia tho

catstorm

@stardf29

I’m hoping you’re right about the potions one, FUNAs works are all somewhat similar but that is my favorite one of the three.

I will say none of those hints look like they could be the LN of bookworm, so I’m hoping that the as yet to be confirmed might be.

If not I’ll just hope for the future and enjoy another 4 or 5 new LNs.

DoubleMangekyo

I can't be the only one that thought of Abraham Lincoln when I read "Abe's Last-Ditch Solution".
Maybe something to do with abolishing slavery?

My Frenchman Will Be Pleased (Reference to The Obra Dinn)

Cool, as a frenchman i would be pleased by Grimgar spin off ^^
Joke aside if it's a reference to The Obra Dinn it could be The forgetfull detective serie by NisiOisiN, both being detective serie with some time element and nessecity to write done what happend.
But NisiOisiN seem to be publish by Vertical, and novel uptdate claim that it's in the same univers as the monogatari serie, they're not allway truthworthy on that but if that really the case then i don't see it be licence by JNC.

Now With Less Laborious Lecturing

Similarly to previous "now with" hint, probably another JNC title (e.g. magic with its tldr magical explanations). Edit: apparently someone else mentioned that but whatever.

Ironically No Anime Adaptation

Could be something with plot about anime. Don't know anything like that, though.

You totally can because Shinzo Abe is a current Prime Minister of Japan and solution probably refers to birth rate meme.
