I requested the Haruhi book, but when it was added, I got added the non-tsubasa version.
And I’m unable to find the rewritten for middle schoolers version on Natively.
Is this a bug or it will remain all in the same link until editions are implemented?
I thought I was all alone… I was actually a quadruplet!
I’m Miyabi Mifu.
I’m a sixth grader and for 12 years… I thought I was all alone, with no parents or relatives!
One day, I found out that I was a quadruplet !!!!
Girls with exactly the same face and voice, Ichika, Nitori and April.
Each of us grew up alone in a different place, but now the four of us are going to live under one roof. However, life with only the four of us is very confusing!
And the differences in our upbringing have led to unexpected differences…?
They are all the same, but they are all different! The cute life of sisters is about to begin!

Reason(s) for nominating: First of all, the story sounds really cute! There’s also a lot that makes this a good choice for learners: it has full furigana (yay!); it’s the first of a 15-volume series (lots of material if you enjoy the first book); and audiobooks are available for the whole series!
I have been listening to those as they come out. The books are surprisingly not childish. They deal with some sad realities. It’s still for kids, don’t get me wrong, but some stuff really hit me in the feels.
ngl, I thought I had written a review. My brain remembers writing a review. I have the strong suspicion that I was thinking about writing one in my head and then never actually did. I have now rectified this.
It’s still a children’s book and if I remember correctly, book 1 is mainly set up of the overall storyline, which is pleasant enough but not really high entertainment.
My review is for the series as a whole. Some books were more interesting then others. But 3 is “I had a good time, but it’s nothing to write home about” kinda thing.
Since it’s been almost a week since the last nomination, I’ll set up the poll on Friday - so if anyone has any last-minute nominations, get them in quick!
The poll will close December 3rd, and the home thread for the winner will open and include a vote for when to start. It might take longer than usual for physical copies to be delivered over the holidays, so I’d guess we might start mid-January.
Since it’s currently in the lead (though may be overtaken, granted), a heads up to people with access to US Audible that the ふしぎ駄菓子屋 series is currently on sale for one more day. (Note: you may need to be a subscriber to see the deals.)
Sadly you do, but nothing stops you from buying them on a trial.
