Spoilers should always be hidden using spoiler blur.
When discussing a specific section, please mention where you are in the book, ideally by chapter so people reading different versions have a clear point of reference.
Feel free to read ahead if it’s exciting, but please refrain from spoiling ahead of the appropriate week.
If you have a question about grammar, vocab, cultural things, etc - ask! That’s a welcome part of the discussion too, and other readers will be happy to help.

Will you be reading along when the club starts on Jan 5th?
Well, I own both digital and physical copies, but I doubt I will read both… (Why would anyone do that? ) I think I currently find digital to be more convenient.
As I remember it, this manga has relatively low text density and lots of panels focusing on the surrounding or facial expressions. My point is, I don’t think many will be overwhelmed by a faster pace.
I prefer physical, but… sometimes the physical is just too far away, or you don’t wanna turn the light on or hold the pages open Also sometimes my back hurts and it’s easier to lay down w/ a tablet didn’t wanna take it on the train, idk
Flipping through it, that seems accurate (tho not nearly as much as a certain other manga I just started).
I read this back in 2020, but it’s been long enough that maybe I’ll reread it. I did enjoy it, and specifically have reread part of the final volume several times.
We have an actual start date of Jan 5th now I removed the original “will you be joining us” poll, and replaced it with one that has the date.
Also it looks like the (slight) majority prefer 1 chapter per week, so unless that suddenly changes in the next few days, we’ll base the schedule on that.
Ok, pace vote didn’t change in the last 6 days, so 1 chapter per week it is. If ppl feel fine reading faster, after a few chapters, we can adjust the pace. Looking forward to starting w/ everyone on the 5th!!
