I loved this anime when I was much younger! I won’t be joining in though as I’m already reading too many things

Nice, I’ll definitely try to join if I’m not too overwhelmed with other book clubs

You picked up the OG LN, right? Where did you buy it from?

Yeah, just got it from Mandarake (along with a whole bunch of other manga and LNs 
). I may end up getting the digital edition too, though, just for convenience.
ETA: Just got the ebook from bookwalker using the 40% off coupon that’s available until the 28th.

I’ve added the chapter breakdown from the digital combined version to the home post; I’ve also got the physical / original edition that I can add if necessary, but it doesn’t seem like anyone else will be reading it.
So now let’s vote on our reading pace!
| Pages per week | Weeks to complete | Finish Date |
|---|---|---|
| 15 | 14 | March 10 |
| 20 | 10 | February 11 |
| 25 | 8 | January 28 |
| 30 | 6 | January 14 |
The end date is based on us beginning in early December, which is currently leading the poll.
How many pages per week would you feel comfortable reading?
- less than 15
- 15
- 20
- 25
- 30
- more than 30

The separation between votes is quite funny I guess we have two level groups.

I am group “I have learned that I don’t do well if a book club goes too slow and lasts too long.”

Since Early/Late December are leading the poll, we may start on the week beginning the 11th or 18th as a compromise. Another poll? 
It looks like we’ll probably be reading 15 pages/week, so I’ve made a sample timetable splitting up the chapters (averaging 15 pages per week).
| Week | Chapter | End page | No. of pages | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 25 | 19 | end of chapter |
| 2 | 2 | 41 | 16 | |
| 3 | 2 | 57 | 16 | end of chapter |
| 4 | 3 | 73 | 16 | |
| 5 | 3 | 88 | 15 | end of chapter |
| 6 | 4 | 101 | 13 | |
| 7 | 4 | 113 | 12 | end of chapter |
| 8 | 5 | 127 | 14 | end of chapter |
| 9 | 6 | 146 | 19 | end of chapter |
| 10 | 7-8 | 158 | 12 | end of chapter |
| 11 | 9 | 171 | 13 | |
| 12 | 9 | 184 | 13 | |
| 13 | 9 | 198 | 14 | end of chapter |
| 14 | 10 | 211 | 13 | end of chapter |

How well does the manga follow the ln? I don’t think I can fit a ln in rn, but if I can follow along with the manga, that’d work.

If I remember correctly from reading a bit of the English translation of both the manga and LN then it sticks better then the anime but was still it’s own separate thing plot points wise

Are you saying we need to 
check everything ?

I wanted to take a picture of me adding the manga to the cart as a joke but I arrived to the wrong page I think
(to be clear I just wrote in hiragana きょうからまおう and clicked the first entry 
)

I was into it until I saw the word 犯された 
Maybe it’s just an unfortunate turn of phrase.
2 Likes
it’s a very popular phrase in the nsfw genre of manga unfortunately
edit: not sure if it’s any help/consolation but a lot of amateur translators turn that phrasing into “making a mess out of” instead of the other definition so if you really want to read it and you can find a translation it’ll probably have this kind of wording instead

I am sadly aware and tend to hate what goes with it, but sometimes it’s not that bad.

I got curious and checked the preview and their dynamic wasn’t so bad? But sadly there’s not much material to decide

Well… Booklive read my mind and granted me a “BL manga 25% off” coupon, so I bought it…
I wish I had thought about:
I could have bought that at the same time with the discount.
Way to forget the actual series of the thread I am posting to
