Perhaps the calendar says 来週 because it technically considers the day next week? It does close in one/two days depending on timezone.
Guess so - good to know for the future (and I just realized I can tap it to check)
Torn on which to vote for in a tiebreaker now tho 
Not to be out here sowing chaos at the eleventh hour, but クラスで2番目に可愛い女の子と友だちになった is ¥99 with 40% coin back at Bookwalker right now. (Also ¥99 at Amazon, but just the normal points back).
Tbh, I voted for クラスで2番目に可愛い女の子と友だちになった because it sounds interesting, but I’m pretty sure I would be in struggletown with it. 
I was surprised to see the late vote! I wasn’t originally planning to vote for it (I’ve read it twice), but I started reading クラスで2番目に可愛い女の子と友だちになった7.5 | L27 and got nostalgic
Anyway struggletown is one thing book clubs are for… But you can always come back to it later if you want.
86 would be my struggle town…
脱線 about poppies
I just saw 86 has 雛罌粟 (ひなげし red/common poppy) in the preview… which I recently encountered in a different struggle town book I’m in love with: 花物語 上 | L39 - except there it’s 雛芥子
I’m not sure what’s up with the variant spellings, besides that 粟 = millet… But anyway it’s cool how words show up in totally different contexts
There is also コクリコ 
, cf. https://learnnatively.com/movie/124c23c3c8/
You called? 
I shall remember this as the day I almost read 86 
(well that would have been my vote in the tiebreaker, at least)
Anyway, I’ll set up a home thread in a bit, since it was my nom. I’ll make a poll about start date there (unless this club has a default for how soon to start?). Edit: it seems like books here usually start about 2 weeks after the poll? At least for the last 2 books)
Go ahead and run the start date poll as you like!
Looks like the current book is about 5 weeks out from finishing, so it’s about time to look at voting for a new one. I’m going to open votes on September 13, so get your votes in before then! As a reminder, our current list of nominations can be found in the second post of this thread.
Reminder that voting opens tomorrow! Last call for nominations!
My votes are already on the list 
It’s that time again! 
View the Nominations List here or here; be sure to scroll to the right; there’s a lot of information there! You’ve got unlimited votes!
This poll should close automatically on 2025-09-21T16:00:00Z
Ah, and I’ve removed 妖魔と下僕の契約条件 1 | L29 as a nomination as it’s the next book up in the BL book club. If you’d like to read it, join us there!
Could you put in a link to the current vote, in the OP? Funny enough, both LN clubs put up our vote at the same time
I feel like all my bookclubs are voting at the same time 
I’ll go crazy if I join all of them
Relatable… If anything that’s good tho - figure it out all at once, rather than being lulled into a false sense of security, cuz you forgot about one
Done, thanks!
