May 2023 announcements!

@myskaros Hints! It's been so long! 😊
For series #3 all I kind think of is Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway but that's already licensed by Yen Press
-
@Lily-Garden At first, I thought that hint might be suggesting an isekai, but your idea has made me think maybe it's something like Rabudame where the MC treats things like a rom-com, which you definitely shouldn't do in real life.
-
The first hint made me immediately think of the Futari wa Precure novel. But we've already been told straight up by Sam that it would never sell enough to be worth it, so that can't be it...
-
@piisfun I’m praying for Twelve Kingdoms.
-
The fifth hint could be Tales of Reincarnation in Maydare. I remember there is a special signature spell which goes “Maki Rhea Lucia, the crimson order, a bloodstained doll, going round and round... a red spinning wheel...“.
Honestly I don‘t know about any other novel about or with “spinning“.💖Always be yourself, unless you can be a unicorn - then be a unicorn!💖

@Silver-Sugar-Duchess That seems a bit far fetch, although it wouldn't be a first. But "spinning" could be a hint for a lot of other stuff.
It could be a hint for a series inspired by fairytales, spinning thread is a regular plot point in those, Sleeping beauty probably being the most famous.
Or it could be a series about spiders, the 2 I know are already licensed, but I wouldn't be surprised if "So I'm spider, so what?"'s popularity birthed a few more copycats.
It could also be about the plane maneuver, surprisingly there is quite a few older series about old war planes.
It could even be a reference to the good old "I'll try spinning, that's a good trick!" prequel meme and be a hint for a sci-fi LN.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 -
One of the members of my household thought of Mahoujin Guru Guru when they saw "Spinning"
-
@Raitoiro True, now that I think about it, it really seems a bit far fetched.

is there anything in particular that you guys are hoping to hear announced?
... ironically, I'd like some original manga. JNC has chosen those well so far.
As for light novels, while I still want some of the usual old series with anime/GAGAGA (Humanity has Declined, someday), with the licenses lately with mostly series I don't know anything about, I always find some interesting stuff to read.
Some more original manga and also manga adaptions would be really nice.

Still waiting for Tearmoon Empire to have an audiobook 😥
-
I'm happy that "Only I Know That This World Is a Game" got licensed that series is comedy gold. It's a bit disappointing that it's the manga and not the LN but hopefully we get it later.

Inhale the copium that is JNC holding back some of their good series to make themselves.
