the first one lol but might as well nominate both since they’re oneshots and all that
that works as well, though you didn’t need to renominate it since it stayed from the previous cycle
things you need to renominate are things that were removed due to one of the reasons written under the nomination rules (in the head message)
and that are out of cooldown (hence the renomination list)
so essentially if you see something you want to re-add in the the renomination list you add it, others are already in the nominations or are on cooldown
Oh ok. I’m still figuring out the whole cooldown/renominating system
I see… not completely sure if it means you did get it this time but to summarize the important bits
for each cycle of nomination (since the content changes from cycle to cycle);
if it’s on the the renomination list you can ask to re-add it, and if it’s on cooldown then you can’t ask to re-add it
if the work you wanted is in neither of these lists but was previously nominated it is most likely already in the nominations list so you can check there.
if it’s not there either I messed up or it was never nominated in the first place
I’d like to nominate a book; @暁のルナ mentioned they were reading it and I meant to nominate it a while ago, but it just slipped my mind.

Reason(s) for nominating: I’ve heard this is a really formative series for the modern yuri genre, so it could be a fun read for long-time yuri fans to see what it’s influenced. (Also, I can’t believe this has 37 volumes!)
oh! I was wondering about that legendary book! thank you for nominating it!!
Since we’re on the last week of the current reading I wanted to put out a reminder that nominations are open.
Also since there are sales on some nominated works I’ll put the info here:
cover | nomination | notes |
---|---|---|
![]() |
恋と呼ぶには青すぎる 1 | 50% off sale |
![]() |
ラブ・バレット 1 | 50% off sale |
if you know about any other series here with sales, or if you’re nominating something on sale, let me know and I’ll add!
this is gonna sound super weird but my brain went down a sidequest mode Gaur Gopal Das “why worry” rabbit hole in a spiral and I ended up creating something so if you still have problems with cooldown/renominating system I hope this helps

I don’t remember sensitive topics except fade to black sex scenes, angst and a boy romantically involved with a main character (which some people dislike in Yuri).
Reason(s) for nominating: It’s one of my favorites. I’ve reread it several times, but only before learning Japanese. So this club might be a good chance to read it in Japanese.
I also want to make an effort to nominate and vote more for favorites instead of books that are new to me. A few people here said they rarely read Yuri (I’m in a similar situation over at the BL Club) and I worry most votes will go to works new to long time fans of the genre instead of the proven good stuff.
Title: どうしたら幼馴染の彼女になれますか!? 1 | L24

None
Reason(s) for nominating: it’s fun, cute, wholesome fluff. Both leads are enjoyable, the humor is good, the protagonist is proactive, it makes great use of misunderstanding, and it was enjoyable enough that I binged all the current chapters in one day

Cheating, mentions of abuse
Reason(s) for nominating: I really enjoyed this one when it came out. The characters are older, and the story felt realistic. I like the character portrayals - they are humans with flaws and strong points, who sometimes make bad choices, but ultimately are just searching for happiness. While it might not be for everyone, I think it’s a really beautifully written story.
I know this one! I only read 2 chapters but it looked good!!! nice
Wait, when’s the next vote?
Hasn’t been decided yet
Maybe the week between the 25th of October and the 1st of November
October is a mess for me so I purposely put the nomination end date on the 25th
Since we haven’t gotten many new noms in for a while, would it be ok to run a poll this month? That way we can have a winner and people can source books in the meantime and start the club when you’re more free?
I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’d be happy to run the poll if that’d help at all…
so @shitsurei is being an angel on earth and taking over poll so we can advance normally! if someone is open to running the thread as well you won’t have to wait for me either!!
let me know by replying to this or message me privately, whatever you feel comfortable with you I’ll try to answer swiftly and to the point so don’t hesitate to ask about anything! even if you won’t want to take over but have questions about what it entails it’s a-okay
I can also help answer questions if anyone needs help.
Like a fool @shablul has granted me infinite power over our next poll.
I haven’t seen any nominations come in for a few days, but just in case there are any stragglers I’ll start the next poll tomorrow evening Pacific time (about 24 hours from now).

Bullying
Reason(s) for nominating: This manga quickly became one of my favorites after I first read it a few months ago. It’s a more serious series and a slow burn, but every chapter is enjoyable and moves the story forward.

No idea since I haven’t read it, but I would guess none
Reason(s) for nominating: One volume manga and I already own it, that’s about it.
