… when I order books I pretty much always get what I ordered. There’s only been a mixup once or twice (actually my Japanese might have improved enough to read whatever mystery book wrapped in a 時をかける少女 cover I was sent).
So, I take it we can nominate stuff? No crazy rules about when to nominate how much?
Are most slice of life and comedy works fine, even if they don’t have a iyashikei tag? I don’t think a precise definition of iyashikei exists.
I probably won’t read this because I currently plan to stay with the anime. But it’s the most healing anime I’ve seen. I think it can cure depression. You’d think the premise would get old soon. But it didn’t within the whole first season. The premise is that 姫 is held prisoner by the daemons and tortured for information. But the torture is always the most wholesome temptation imaginable. And every one is super kind.
This one has a WK BC. I don’t know much about it except that it’s famous, has an anime adaption and II own the first 3 volumes from a sale. I think it would technically also qualify for the yuri BC and the MC is a robot?
This one has its healing properties from its beautiful art. Just look at the clothes. Story wise it follows various young married couples in 19th century (?) continental Asia. I’ve read the first 13 volumes in translation and plan on reading volumes 14 and 15 in Japanese. But I wouldn’t mind rereading the first volume in Japanese.
I know nothing about it. I think it was free on Bookwalker. The synopsis suggests it has dialect, so that would be a challenge.
I quite enjoyed the anime. It’s cute and funny and 4koma (but the better kind with 4 big instead of 8 tiny panels per page). But unlike those Manga time kirara titles, this one has boys (probably still more girls, but the MC and his best friend provide some diversity and representation).
Basically the same things I said for tanaka-kun. The setting is fantastical. Fuwafuwa plays a big role here. It’s a bit pervy at times (for humor, nothing titillating). Unfortunately one character has a shota obsession, so maybe that’s a no.
Cute comedy mostly focused on elementary school children, but also a little their older siblings. There was one scene where a kid cried at the thought of losing her TCG cards that actually made me cry with how adorable it was.
The same thing but as yuri? Here it’s more focused on the two main characters.
Already has a BC. See Home Thread for 徒然日和 1 | L21 - Starts Jan 5th we start January 5. And I am quite excited as this is a favorite of mine and I want to discuss how awesome this is with everyone.

Maybe that’s a bit much at once for nominations and I might do a selection later (probably ヨコハマ買い出し紀行 | L23 and 乙嫁語り 1 | L24). But I wanted to show what iyashikei is for me. I think it’s a little different from the current nominations. More comedy and shounen. And maybe that encourages others to nominate what their stuff which is yet again different.
”, which is definitely quite broad. I’d say we’re still a young enough club that if you think your nomination promotes those qualities, it should generally be fair game.
If the tie continues, I’ll post a tie-breaker vote after the formal vote closes.
