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 ) 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
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.
If all goes well, I’ll be on December vacation starting the 11th; it’ll be nice to start a shiny new BL then.
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.
Same here! 頑張って!
@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.
If you can note down the rest of the numbers for the physical copy, I’ll add it to the table.
Sure! I’ll have that up later today.
Well, I forgot to finish this after work yesterday; sorry about that. 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. 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!
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.
It is in the ebook but I guess we can deal with it when we get there.
Hmmm. I’ll go double-check that in a little bit in my physical copy, just to be sure.
