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.
So I’ve got a copy of the 単行本 version of the book (which is missing the short story included with the bunko and digital editions of the book), and this is one of those where the author apparently doesn’t believe in chapter delineations, so week breaks may get a little weird. My copy of the book is 254 pages, so…
All right, I’m going to call it! Looks like we’re going to have a pretty small group this book, so we’ll keep all discussion in one thread. We’ll start May 4, and I’ll set up a schedule sometime this week. Thanks all!
So as mentioned before, this book does not have clearly defined chapters it’s all one big blob, so hopefully these week breaks aren’t too jarring; every week should end with a paragraph break. Also note that the book (the 単行本 at least) contains illustrations, which I did not account for in the schedule below, so some weeks will be slightly shorter page-wise.
