Since 今日からマ王! 魔王誕生編 | L30?? is the first two or three volumes of the LN in omnibus format, do we want to read everything in the omnibus? Or only volume 1 of the original LN?

added already in sales but adding here since it’s relevant
there’s a 40% off coupon on a ton of things on bookwalker and I found the omnibus version of 今日からマ王 there
trying to find the others as well, will update
edit: on the sad note, FLESH & BLOOD is not eligible for the coupon 
edit2: there are too many options and I can’t find 女装 by name order so far so someone will need to check through checkout to see if the coupon works for it (I can’t since I have this already 
)
you don’t need to buy, just add to the cart and add the coupon in the checkout process to see if it lets you, and leave it at that without going forward (a.k.a no buying required)
this is the sale page with the coupon and a link to the eligible works list:

Just the first (original) volume, if people want to continue it’ll have to be via an offshoot book club.

Okay, sounds good. I was going to post a link to the OG LN 1, but it looks like it’s super out of print. I’d pull open my physical copy of the omnibus to check out pages and where the split is, but it’s packed into a moving box and won’t be rescued for at least a week. (Here’s the OG for those curious.)
Another question for you: when are we starting reading? (You’re probably still getting stuff set up; sorry if it seems like I’m rushing you. Just looking forward to the next book, haha.)

We can move to the KKM home thread for the details, still got to poll for what will be read second!

Guess we also need to start culling nominations as well, huh. ;_;

We had a three-way tie for first place after voting on the nominations, and decided to read the winners one after the other. 今日からマ王! was chosen as the first read, so now we can vote on which to read second.
What would you like to read after KKM?

(I’ll probably leave this open until we’re almost done with KKM)

I would like to add my case in which interest wise I’m on the FLESH & BLOOD side but concentration wise my brain screams MANGA BREAK hence my vote

I can’t vote on that poll in mobile btw, however I click it it just opens the link instead of selecting the radio. Maybe skip links without pictures for future polls

Bah, Discourse! 
Well, the poll will probably be open for at least a couple of months - if anyone’s having the same trouble and can’t access using another device, you can just leave your vote in a comment and I’ll keep note.

No worries; there’ll be plenty of time to change your vote.

I was able to vote on my phone by zooming in on the dot so that I could click it more precisely!

Based on the current poll results regarding eliminations, the bottom 3 nominations and any ties will be cut for one voting cycle.
So along with the three-way tie for first place, there will be 7 slots available for fresh nominations.
…But it’ll probably be 6 months before we get through the winners and nominations open again!

Oh, you don’t open nominations as soon as slots are available? I understand not having a call for nominations, but just posting when there’s space sounds reasonable to me.

I thought there wouldn’t be much point in accepting new nominations until closer to the time, as:
- It will likely take around 6 months to read through the three winners from the previous vote, so people would be nominating titles they don’t plan to read in the next 6 months, which seems… a bit odd?
- Available slots would likely fill up quickly, so we’d know all the titles we could vote on for months, and there wouldn’t be any surprises.
- If the slots fill quickly, new users wouldn’t be able to submit their own nominations for several months.
- When all the slots are filled, it follows that we could immediately vote on what to read next, even if we don’t expect to read it for several months, because what would be the point of waiting if all the slots are full? It would be easy to just keep nominating and voting for what to read months/years in the future.
Keeping the nominations closed until nearer the time would keep the nomination/voting more current (after all, there will already be 13 nominations from the last vote carried over) and allow any new users that join in the next 6 months a chance to participate in nominations.
Still, worth a poll, I think!
Which would you prefer?
- Accept nominations whenever there are slots available
- Keep nominations closed until nearer the time to vote

I like your reasoning. Didn’t even think about new people wanting to participate.
