Discussion ground rules

• 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
• 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.

Natsuki's request, if you can call it that

I’m hesitant to pass judgement so early in the book, but I have to say that I really dislike pushy characters who bulldoze towards their personal goals and desires with little to no consideration for others’ objections and feelings. This was a big problem for me in Chihayafuru too, where the MC ended up being my least favorite character for similar reasons. In this book’s case I do respect the fact that Natsuki is doing this out of love and concern for a dear relative, at least. And with so many relatives around who all seem to be happy to see her, I get the feeling family will be what keeps her character grounded as she tries to get away with this bit of deception.
