クランプの読書会 📚 CLAMP Book Club

We could do it right before X—the main characters and setting from Gakuen Clamp make an appearance, but I can’t remember how important they are to the plot.

Also 東京BABYLON is about 1000 pages total. I checked the 愛蔵版 on Bookwalker, and it looks like at least for the first one, there are 3 volumes that are approx 100 pages. For convenience, here are the page breakdown:

Vol 0 - TYO - 5-44 (39 pages)
Vol 1 - Babel - 45-102 (57 pages)
Vol 1.5 - Destiny - 103-138 (35 pages)
Vol 2 - Dream - 139-242 (103 pages)
Annex Smile - 243-286 (43 pages)
Vol 3 - Call A - 287-348 (61 pages)
Vol 3 - Call B - 349-427 (78 pages)

I guess the question is should we read based on page count or volume? In terms of pacing, maybe we could read a section per week, except for vol 2 which I think we could split in half. That way we are more or less maintaining a similar pace like with MKR.

I’d be good with keeping up the MKR pace. Much faster would be rough especially with holidays coming up in case I fell behind.

I think 30-43 pgs per week makes sense, and not multiple volumes in one week. So I’d propose something like:

Week Reading
1 Vol 0
2 -3 Vol 1
4 Vol 1.5
5 - 7 Vol 2
8 Annex Smile
9-10 Vol 3 Call A
11-12 Vol 3 Call B

I just noticed the set I bought is missing the last voL and it’s sold out everywhere :smiling_face_with_tear:

anyway looking forward to reading this and more CLAMP series with you guys

Depending how badly you want it, you might be able to use a proxy & find it on Mercari, Rakuten, etc
