Acquisitions Speculation - General

License "Rescue" could be Hentai Ouji since it was listed by DMG as being licensed at one point. They never released anything though.

@aruseus493
That would be great~! (Since I love the series)
But it brings us back to the big Q: whether Sam can license Kadokawa stuff now or not...

zchronos · Jun 27, 2018, 6:29 PM

@guspaz Is for the Imouto. In the story she travels to another world by herself (she made complex calculations).

Well.. it's only a hint.

Like is there an isekai where the MC is a marine creature?

That one where the MC is a female Orca.

That orca ends up being grounded on grass at the start and flies through the air though...

AX Announcement #8: They don't make them like they used to

I have a feeling that this will be something about a lost magic or a lost art, where in the past things were more powerful or were better than the modern world. or MC using knowledge or power from the past like that one with the MC reincarnates hundreds of years in the future where magic has declined.

Though I want Magicraft Meister where MC uses knowledge from the previous holder of that title (from thousands of years prior) and makes new things.

Edit: I also think there should be a "C" between the "A" and the "Q." you have it spelled like that the first time but the All-Caps versions are not.

Guspaz · Jun 27, 2018, 7:22 PM

@zchronos The calculations weren't to send her to the isekai, though, just to calculate exactly when and where she needed to be so that it would happen.

jampodevral · Jun 27, 2018, 7:26 PM

@drone205 Could be a novel about saving people, or some series that was licensed by a failed publisher previously (like maybe an old Tokyopop LN) bit still is going strong with a decent fanbase here in the West.

It could also be 7th, were the MC is able to speak to his Ancestor and at the beginning most of them are trashing him for being weak and not worthly of the house name.

@raitoiro I tried reading that one when the ft first started it.

Personally, i kind of enjoyed the way the ancestor treat him, but if that was the reason you drop it u should give it an other try because it's gone by vol2, and the ft is now compled

That's even way more of a long shot lol

More of a never shot since it's Kadokawa (well, never say never I guess). But yeah, I hear marine, my mind goes there (and to George Costanza). xP

Edit: Just for funsies, here's a Bookwalker light novel search excluding the word "Kadokawa" from the search.

https://bookwalker.jp/search/?order=rank&qcat=3&np=0&qnot[]=Kadokawa&x=12&y=15

If anyone has the Japanese names of other publishers we know JNC almost certainly doesn't work with, I could try excluding them too.

Edit 2: Ascendance of a Bookworm a possibility? I don't remember if it was highly requested or no.

Edit 3: Bookwalker search with all those exclusions:

Shogakukan | 小学館
AlphaPolis |アルファポリス
Micro Magazinesha | マイクロマガジン社

That's all I guess?

We just don't know about the rest...

Paul Nebeling · Jun 28, 2018, 11:04 AM

@legitpancake I'm wondering if either of those single volume titles will be non-fiction.

Cynigami · Jun 28, 2018, 11:15 AM

Here are some of my notes for the guesses. Posted them on reddit, just follow the parent comment.

Rosiero · Jun 28, 2018, 11:20 AM

@hak0 I'm reeeeally careful about getting hyped for Rakudai, but those are some pretty good points. My heaaaaart!

Cynigami · Jun 28, 2018, 11:22 AM

@rosiero

It was the most requested non-Kadokawa LN in J-NC's survey from October. I can't think of any other hint that would fit it as well as "Highly requested".

Cynigami · Jun 28, 2018, 11:27 AM

@hak0 Just to add to my guesses, I am fairly certain "Finally my String Theory background comes in handy" is hinting at a Hayakawa novel since they are the only publisher Sam has met with that publishes actual Sci-fi. I don't count all those mecha LNs as real sci-fi :3

Terrence · Jun 28, 2018, 6:08 PM

I was thinking of this one for one with "lots of snu snu", but it is a Kadokawa Novel Zero title, so fat chance.

"Hard boiled school Days Orihara Mitsuki and Tanaka"

https://bookwalker.jp/dec40d35b3-88fd-4681-910c-ffec000fc3ac/?acode=WpfPW3yk

I'll take a look at Hayakawa later. I really like the SciFi focus there from the little I've seen.

Seems Inou Battle is being called a possibility for the "Wryyyy" hint since I guess the anime has some JoJo references? I'd love that (finished at 13 volumes).

Cynigami · Jun 28, 2018, 12:17 PM

Also just a quick note as far as I know Hayakawa doesn't have any LN specific labels so whatever we get from them will be more mainstream literature probably which means JN-C is branching out to more than just LNs.
