Week 2 - Home Thread どれが恋かがわからない Yuri Club

Hello and welcome all! To the Yuri clubs reading of this manga!
I will update with a schedule very soon I promise but in the meanwhile here’s our HQ :wink:

For now I’m planning to start on the 7th of September, let me know if you need more time though :blush:

Since @暁のルナ is a genius I copied her look from the 雨でも晴れでも thread (it turned into an offshoot so don’t forget to check it out if you didn’t read with everyone :tada::heart::pray::smiling_face: you still have a chance to catch up :wink:)

Summary - Japanese

人の数だけスキがある。

Summary - English

With high school graduation approaching, Mei Soraike tries to confess her love to the best friend she has long harbored a secret crush for…only to have her hopes crushed instead.

Discussion ground rules

(Again, copied from @暁のルナ the genius)

  • Any spoilers, for the current chapters must be behind spoilers or detail curtains. When we get further in you don’t need to hide details that were revealed in previous chapters.
  • Always mention where you are in the book when discussing, ideally by chapter so people reading different versions have a clear point of reference.
  • Feel free to read ahead if it’s exciting! But please refrain from spoiling ahead of the appropriate week :slight_smile:
  • If you have a question about grammar, vocab, cultural things, etc - ask! That can be part of the discussion too and I’m sure some folks would be happy to help.
  • Even if you don’t read the chapter(s) in time, you are still encouraged to post in the thread for that reading once you have finished it. I advise not reading ahead in the threads as you may see spoilers.

So I’m writing down the page amount (by what’s written in the index itself of the manga) and afterwards the poll for how fast you want to do this;

Chapter 1 number of pages
1 45
2 21
3 19
4 20
5 20
6 14
7 19

As for the pace polls;

  • slow - a chapter a week (7 weeks)
  • average - 2 chapters a week except for chapter 1 (4 weeks)
  • fast - a half a week (2 weeks)
0 voters

Will close poll and formally decide the schedule by 2nd of September :saluting_face:

Wish poll was multiple choice. Picked slow, but I’m open to the average pace as well. Looking forward to it, either way

Ya’ll do love your multi-choice polls where you can only choose one option.

Lol
Since it’s only 3 choices I purposely made it a one choice only but I’ll know to let you guys have the fall back option next time :rofl:

In case it wasn’t clear, the thing I was referring to is that you can use type=regular instead of type=multiple min=1 max=1 when you just want people to have one vote.

ahhh I see
I got so used to using the other poll type that I didn’t even think about it :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You can “informally” read with us if you want then :joy:
Especially if it ends up another offshoot you’re officially all done either way :rofl:

Yeah I’ll still hang out and discuss.

I’m looking forward to starting this this week! I’ve actually read very very little yuri. :thinking: Are we keeping all discussion in this thread @shablul, or will there be weekly threads?

2 Likes

Since it’s only one month old I was planning on it
But it might help motivate people to interact more if I create by week so I might do it anyways :thinking:

Edit; A.k.a I noticed there’s no movement at all here so I might add it now in delay since I’m not sure if it’s because there isn’t many people at all or they’re not interacting in a general thread

One thread’s probably fine, then. It can help the community feel a bit more together if it’s a shorter schedule/smaller number of people, I’ve found

The low participation at the moment may just be due to people forgetting it’s started; that was the case for me, at least. Might be helpful to advertise the start in the thread title, and post a small update here whenever we enter a new week so the thread rises to the top for people.

Tried adding in the title, should I post a cute “sneak peek” again like I did the day before the start? :thinking:

I honestly don’t know how much to push on this matter lol

I’d say keep it simple; let forum users know what week it is and what book club it’s for. So what you’ve got now is great! Just update it once we get to week 2 and you should be good.

It’ll probably take people a few days to get through the reading and comment, too, so don’t be too dispirited if there’s not a lot of immediate activity.
