That’s a 2026 read for me. Or at least I’ll try it in 2026 (… we’ll see how well I do 
)

@暁のルナ 花ざかりの君たちへ | L24 is 90s 少女, but has some BL themes, is very strictly speaking, gender bending, and has a secondary character who speaks Osaka-ben.

ええな、けっこわたしの好みそう。ありがおうな 
Is the secondary character there a lot? Wondering what percentage I should add the Kansai tag at

Hmm… maybe like 20%?
He’s like a main secondary character, but there’s a really big ensemble cast so there are bunch of main secondary characters.

Ahh ok that moves it down on my short term list… But it’s definitely got my interest in general. Edit: I think in general I’m more amenable to “female character crossdresses as male” than the other way around
If you wanna do a schedule-free/optional club, I’d be down

I think @soggyboy also wants to get into F&B at some point.

@taiyousea as well, last I heard. We’ve got a nice little group once everyone’s schedules align.

Ooh that looks great… And it has a 44% girls love tag. Interest peaked thx!
I don’t see any in the 50 pg preview on Bookwalker. You sure about that?

You are right. No idea where I got this delusion.

I’ll be here all year with that 
I’ll give the anime section a look later, since that’s what I’d get through quickest. Thx!

F&B has been at the top of my Wishlist for a while. If there’s an informal/casual club in the works, I’d be interested too!

Actually I think there was already a club: 🏴☠️ Home Thread for Flesh&Blood ⛵
Tho it was schedule-based, so maybe making a new one with an alternate title is fine?

I have the first few volumes of Flesh and Blood waiting on my Kindle too. (Got them during a good sale) Also not sure when I’ll get around to reading them. At level 35 and with a nautical setting, I’m hesitant to start it until I’ve knocked some of the other level 34+ books off my “currently reading” list.

Cool - I also have some level-adjacent stuff I’d like to read btwn now and then. Anyway it looks like we’d be aiming for 2026 at this point? Tho I’m not opposed to starting earlier.
@shitsurei @eefara @shiori @taiyousea @soggyboy - would Jan 2026 be a realistic starting time? I can make a thread, and set a note in my calendar for w/e time we decide (unless someone else wants to make it?)
