      What time does the next hint come out? (I have nothing better to do than wait...)

            Third hint

            cc: manga

            Closed Caption? Carbon Copy? Maybe it is some sort of ASCII Art?

            Anyway, it is manga.

              Maybe it's a manga of one of the previous two, or manga of an already published LN?

                  I believe it's already been said all three hints are for novels. So this could be the novel version of a manga we already have, like Marginal Operation or Sweet Reincarnation.

                    @LegitPancake Oh hey, I think I'd like it if it was Sweet Reincarnation.

                      cc: manga

                      as you mentioned the common /standard meaning is 'Carbon Copy' (for those who don't know the history; in a type written memo a duplicate would be sent to whomever was "cc'd")

                      so this clue might mean that there is a Manga of this LN title as well - or there is a manga related to it with the word 'carbon' or 'copy' or duplicates being relevant?

                      google found "CO Chuu" which translated as 'Carbon Dioxide and Kiss' as a manga title - but I couldn't find anything about it

                      I also found an "Altered Carbon" anime (based on an English novel) which doesn't fit

                      maybe something about clones ?

                      I read banned books

                        @Jon-Mitchell A little more history

                        Carbon Copy is a reference to the pressure sensitive "carbon paper" that was used when you wanted to print two copies of something on a typewriter. The pressure would change the color of the back sheet (they were loaded simultaneously), while the front sheet had ink applied.

                        It is still occasionally used for record-keeping with documents that have to be signed or hand-written, as a pen is effective as a typewriter at triggering the color change (Provided there aren't four layers of copies [personal experience]).

                          you've got to press pretty hard for signatures to get through 4 part (or 6 part) forms

                          in the USA - buying a car (at least the last time I did) still needed 4 part carbon copies

                            I'm confused. Is the third license a manga now, or a light novel?

                              @Clarabelle All I am certain of is it is some kind of book.

                                  ...So. Is that a new hint, or what? "Wait, where did this come from?!"

                                    To get even more historic, I think what you’re describing there is “carbonless” copy paper. Original carbon copies used two regular sheets of paper with a carbon paper sheet between which transferred through with pressure onto the back sheet. I’ve a box of 35 year old government issue carbons hanging around which I’ve kept because they’re surprisingly pretty on the front: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6MAH3KtpWUNN4ij3A

                                        Well, there probably won't be a title in it for me, so I don't even know why I'm this exited about the hints this time...
