Spoilers should always be hidden using spoiler blur.
When discussing a specific section, please mention where you are in the book so people reading different versions have a clear point of reference.
Feel free to read ahead if itās exciting, but please refrain from spoiling ahead of the appropriate week.
If you have a question about grammar, vocab, cultural things, etc - ask! Thatās a welcome part of the discussion too, and other readers will be happy to help.
How odd! The page is displaying normally for me - you might have caught it mid-sync? I noticed the more recent volumes were missing, so I queued it for sync a little while ago.
Soā¦ I absolutely love these books and started Book 2 right away. Here are my thoughts so far. Iāll put general comments in drop downs and do extra blurring of major spoilers.
Book 2
Prologue
hhmmm Iām liking how the world is widening and Iām really curious if weāre going to hear any stories about how these capsules work out. But Iām a little confused - the idea of people coming in the shop is that Beniko selects something for them specifically, if they get a capsule from a machine, is there some mechanism that what they get fulfills their desire? I guess Iāll have to wait and see
Ch 1
oooh, so a really unconventional one. So far there has been an implicit moral high ground, and yet here we see her helping a thief to do it better! or is that a tricky way of making sure the police officer / detective gets his big break? This makes me very curious about who is setting the rules here of what is a good fortune?
Ch 2
OMG maybe my favourite one so far!!! I absolutely loved this ć”å ē is just so cute and I love how she just innocently tries so hard to help everyone.
Well, Iāll probably slow down a bit. Ch 3 has a lot of unknown vocab (the first 2 pages feel like the one from Book 1 with the beautician dude, so instead of binging in bed on the weekends when I wake up, Iāll have to do some lookups when I have time to get further. And since Iām taking a bit of a mini-holiday next week it might be a few weeks until I get back to this.
Have fun everyone!
