And I finished the book!
Not much happened really in this book, but it was sweet seeing everyone again, and watching Yuki slowly growing into a true Kamusarian. I always thought that living in a small village would feel oppressive (everyone knows you and watches you all the time), but there’s also a sense of camaraderie that is hard to find elsewhere. Yuki really was lucky in finding in Kamusari everything he didn’t know he wanted.
I have finished it, too.
Thank you so much for reading this book together with me - especially since you wrote that you normally refrain from reading sequels. 
I will try to remember and ask you only for non-sequels from now on. For this one, it seems I was lucky not to know - otherwise I would not have asked. 
I did not like it as much as the first book, probably because there was no real story this time. But I still enjoyed it a lot because it brought me back to this remote mountain village where people may seem somewhat “special” at first but, as you wrote, care for each other. I can relate to that. Big cities can be nice because you can happily live your life without others closely watching and commenting on it, but on the other hand this anonymity can at times also be a demerit. You can also be very lonely. So nice things turned out well for Yuki in Kamusari.
Thank you for suggesting it and reading with me, and also for bearing with me when I took loooong breaks 
You’re very welcome to suggest new informal clubs any time, sequels or not. I promise I will just say no if I’m not interested, no reason to restrict yourself.
As for this book, I also did not like it as much as the first. If I were to describe how it felt, it was like getting in touch with an old friend to see how they’re doing, rather than getting into new adventures with said friend. It was really nice seeing more of all of them, they’re really likeable characters, but nothing much was at stake, and nothing new was introduced.
