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.
Woah - I didn’t expect Kiryu-kun’s father to steal something at a supermarket. I was expecting more of a depressed angle there after those sightings in the park. I don’t share Nanoko’s optimism, but I wonder if there’s more to the story. But since I’m all caught up now I’ll have to wait a week to find out…
I guess Kiryu-kun will get some uncomfortable questions from Nanoka, but hey, at least she’s not giving him a wide berth while staring at him like the rest of the class. Nanoka actually seems quite decent at reading the air, but then is oblivious as to why the air is like that, so she decides to ignore it
Phew, finished the section. Second half was a bit easier than the first I think. I’m getting more back into the rhythm, though it’s still pretty tricky at times.
Yes good stuff. I believe it’s the second light novel under my belt.
The main entertainment for me was the playful language and the mystery elements kept me engaged and carefully reading. Of course this is more of an adult-oriented book but has very accessible vocabulary and writing. I found it tough to get started but catching up to the book club pace was motivating then from the 桐生くん trouble onwards I just wanted to find out what happens! Thanks book club! Wouldn’t mind discussing the end too a bit once everyone gets there.
I enjoyed the last two weeks of readings A lot more going on now
I thought the term was 目から鱗が落ちた but eyeball works too I guess (typical Nanoka)
I hope Kiryu-kun gets cheered up by Nanoka. It must be so traumatizing to learn that about your dad + the cat is probably out of the bag regarding his supposed job too. (Not confirmed at this point of course, but I had predicted the same early on about him chilling at the park after probably losing his job since it comes up from time to time in media, especially as the expectation is for the father to be the breadwinner.) I do hope the two can become friends
I’m not sure how much of a spoiler it is/isn’t (I haven’t read this far), but @freddyg would you mind putting that in spoiler tags, and also adding a note that it’s referencing events that are after this week’s reading?
