Discussion Guidelines

  • 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.

Well, I own both digital and physical copies, but I doubt I will read both… (Why would anyone do that? :sweat_smile:) 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 :sweat_smile: 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 :smile: 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!!
