🏰 今日からマ王! 👑 Home Thread 👨‍❤️‍👨 BL Book Club

Quick question for you; is that page table from the OG volume or the re-release?

The combined edition, since most people seem to be using that one. Since a couple of other people are planning to use the original edition, I’ll add the pages from that, too. :slightly_smiling_face:

Oooh I’ve never participated in a bookclub on natively before, but this could be quite fun! I’ve already read 美しい彼 (for another bookclub :face_in_clouds:) so maybe I should have a go at my first ~retro~ BL here. The combined edition is on KU so I’ll probably go get that one :sun_with_face:

December is the winner, so I think the 11th will make a good start date - it’s about 3 weeks away, and not too close to Christmas. :slightly_smiling_face:

If all goes well, I’ll be on December vacation starting the 11th; it’ll be nice to start a shiny new BL then. :eyes:

Okay, time to roll up my sleeves and actually start the book now that I’m back from vacation and have to answer to real life responsibilities.

@bibliothecary I was going through my physical omnibus to mark pages I needed to read, and noticed some discrepancies with what the schedule had noted down page-wise:

Week Start Date Chapter End page (original) End page (combined) No. of pages Notes
1 Dec 11 1 27 25 → 28 19 end of chapter
2 Dec 18 2 41 → 46 16 line ending: 何がおめでたいものか!
3 Dec 25 2 58 57 → 62 16 end of chapter
4 Jan 1 3 73 → 80 16 line ending: …人生経験豊冨なの?
5 Jan 8 3 91 88 → 95 15 end of chapter

(I haven’t checked further than this)

I’m guessing the original ending page numbers for the combined edition were generated from an ebook?

Yeah, I thought I made a note of that under the table, but apparently not. :smiling_face_with_tear:

If you can note down the rest of the numbers for the physical copy, I’ll add it to the table. :+1:

Sure! I’ll have that up later today.

Well, I forgot to finish this after work yesterday; sorry about that. :person_facepalming: Anyway, you should just be able to copy/paste this table:

Week Start Date Chapter End page (original) End page (combined) No. of pages Notes
1 Dec 11 1 27 28 22 end of chapter
2 Dec 18 2 46 18 line ending: 何がおめでたいものか!
3 Dec 25 2 58 62 16 end of chapter
4 Jan 1 3 80 18 line ending: …人生経験豊冨なの!?
5 Jan 8 3 91 95 15 end of chapter
6 Jan 15 4 109 14 line ending: …それとも新参者のおれ自身なのか。
7 Jan 22 4 117 121 12 end of chapter
8 Jan 29 5 132 136 15 end of chapter
9 Feb 5 6 151 156 20 end of chapter
10 Feb 12 7-8 168 168 12 end of chapter
11 Feb 19 9 182 14 line ending: 「こ っ‥‥‥」
12 Feb 26 9 196 14 line ending: …状況について話し始めた。
13 Mar 4 9 205 209 13 end of chapter
14 Mar 11 10 217 222 13 end of chapter

I can’t find the ending page for week 12. :frowning: Could you give me more of the surrounding sentences to search it out?

Just looked it up in my ebook. Just before there is:

武人としては認めている方の弟と

then someone starts talking. (It’s right in the middle of a conversation)

Thank you! :smiling_face:

The full ending line for week 12 is 末弟たちが来ていたことに対してか、 微かに眉を上げた後、 武人としては認めている方の弟と状況にっいて話し始めた。

I’ll go looking for it, but do we want to end a week’s reading in the middle of a paragraph @bibliothecary? Why not move it to the end of the paragraph?

Edit: found it! And my mistake, it’s not the middle of a paragraph. I’ll go update that table.

Okay, the table is updated - I found my physical copy that I mislaid, so the original has all the page numbers, too.
Only took til week 4 to get sorted, I’m so on top of things. :melting_face:
