      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)

          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?

              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!

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

                    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.)

                    Quof got a break.
                    WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?!

                      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

                        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.)

                          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.

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

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

                                  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.

                                    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?

                                      1. 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.

                                      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

                                        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.

                                          Why this one? (Especially, the concept of time with Kyouko is more abstract. And it's more about what it feels when today(Kyo) is all you got ans do we still be the same person if we lose our memories)
                                          Well, the connection between the two series is fan theory about Kyouko is older Hanekawa anyway.

                                          Well, a series that has mystery solved by time loops like Erased or Re:Zero might be a solid guess but I can't remember any rn.

                                            @bloodygaikotsu I choose that one cause that the only one that came to my mind ^^
                                            It's true that the link is weak but it's kind of allway the case with those hints: the one for Yume Nikki was "not a part of the nasuverse", aparently because Nasu mean eggplant and there was a mini game about eggplant in the original game
                                            In fact if i'm end up being correct, compare to that one, this one would have been a strong hint ^^
                                            What make me dubious is more the fact that NisiOisiN is mostly publish by Vertical even more if it could be a monogatari sequel.

                                            Do you like death, war and misery ?
                                            Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
