This is my first time running one of these, so please be patient as we work out the details.
Summary - English
A girl with no friends, a high school girl who keeps cutting her wrists,
A woman who is criticized as an idiot, an old woman who lives out the rest of her life quietly.
Where does their “happiness” lie?
There are things I want to do over again, things aren’t going well right now.

Club Schedule
Note: page numbers are based on the 文庫 version (which Natively links to by default)
Thank you for organising! I’m hoping to be able to buy the physical book (perhaps as Christmas gift to myself).
I’m actually fine with the tentative schedule of 15~20 pages per week. I checked a few sample pages and it doesn’t seem too hard, so I think I could still follow it if the majority voted for a faster pace though.
Good to know! It also looks pretty easy for me vocab/grammar wise, so I might just buy a physical copy as well (tho I just missed cdjapan’s cyber monday discount So guess I’ll wait till the end of the year)
If anyone has read the book already, and has more concrete suggestions on how to split up the 20+ pg chapters, that would be great! I mostly just incremented them by 20 per week, or split them in half (in case of ch5 which is 28 pgs, so I did 14/14)
Edit: I tweaked, based on percentage numbers (whole numbers instead of decimals). Also, percents have been rounded to nearest .5% - for the sake of an easier table.
I added a note… Natively links to it by default, and Amazon US + all the non-Amazon links are the 文庫 version as well, so we should all be on the same page
Really? From which provider? I have the eBook on Bookwalker, and that + Kindle JP both has the colored cover.
I seem to have misunderstood how percentages are supposed to work, so that would be helpful. The ones I have in the chart are based on physical pages, but when I try lining up with eBook (phone or tablet), it doesn’t work
Rereading my post i realized it was confusing. I meant that it didn’t have a colored border, but according to Amazon at least the bunko and the softcover have the same cover image so I think I’m not helpful, actually
Just got recommended this video talking about the book in Japanese. Aside from being a useful overview of the content / language level, it’s good listening practice too.
He also has a podcast and does some let’s plays online and is a great resource for the long slog of the intermediate level. Highly recommend all of his content.
Thats was precisely the episode that made me remember I had heard about this book before, and recommend it for this club but yeah, gotta second shitsurei here, I really recommend his content.
Btw, I started on this a bit early, just to get a preview of what we’re in for, and to check out the audiobook. It seems out the audiobook is multi-cast, instead of single narrator, and it has some music and occasional sound effects! 面白い!
