I might nominate one or two. I only posted yesterday because I was worried @shablul would take all the slots before I had time. :joy:

Title: 気になってる人が男じゃなかった 1 | L23
Book type: Manga
Available formats: physical / ebook / twitter feed (weekly chapters)

Content warnings: none I can think of

Reason(s) for nominating: Really unique style, format (4 pg chapters), and story. Interesting cultural blend (it’s integrates a lot of American rock music that was popular in the early-to-mid 2000s, but also very Japanese), two really enjoyable leads, good for casual speech, and varying difficulty that makes it worth reading with a book club, for when you’re lost.

I’m never quite sure why you guys talk about slots running out, we don’t have a limit :rofl:
If we reach 40 noninations I’ll think about it :crazy_face:but for now just feel free to nominate whatever whenever :joy:

Edit; hopefully you’re seeing this after the edit and not before lol so Luna cleared up the slot thing :joy:
For now if it’s really beyond 20 I’ll just make 2 polls in the same message and will be careful about this next cycle

For now don’t worry about the slots and just have fun nominating!!
I’ll do all the needed worrying, that’s the job :kissing_heart:

For some reason, I thought polls were limited to 20 options? Also though, I don’t want things to be overbearing/wanna make sure others feel like they have room to nominate.

Btw, general request: can we please include Natively levels in the titles for nominations? That’s something that makes a difference for me, and it’s really annoying to have to click through to each book’s page just to see that one small piece of info.

Looking forward to seeing your nominations :slight_smile:

I’m having trouble deciding, in part b/c some of the ones I’m considering are ongoing and not confirmed couple (but very likely), and the yuri part isn’t necessarily the focus, like 声優ラジオのウラオモテ | L28 or 夜のクラゲは泳げない . 声優ラジオ in particular is slow burn to the point where 8 novels in, it’s still likely but unclear.

Knowing slots are less limited tho, I guess I’ll nominate some of the others I was thinking of in the first place. Update: added some. So I’ll hold off on more for now.

Title: はなにあらし 1 | L18

Book type: Manga
Available formats: physical / ebook

Content warnings: none

Reason(s) for nominating: It’s a classic. Very accessible language, and great for picking up school vocab. Couple is established from the beginning, and it’s really cute.

Title: 転生王女と天才令嬢の魔法革命 1 | L28

Book type: Manga
Available formats: physical / ebook

Content warnings: none

Reason(s) for nominating: very fun, cute story, with an interesting hook. I watched an episode of the anime and was thought it was really great, but all the aristocratic vocab (plus magic vocab) was a bit too much for me. So seems like it would be nicer to go through in manga form.

Wait really?
Let me try it (honestly speaking even if it is then we can just use more than one poll and ask people to be careful not to vote for more than 4 things)

Edit; welp you were right and I goofed
For now if it goes beyond 20 I’ll just make 2 polls in the same message, I’ll be careful about this next time
Like I said, if it really does reach 40 I’ll put a limit on things (might reconsider the unlimited in this case)

Sure, honestly reasonable considering the difficulty difference in the current book :joy:

WaniKani just did this book club and are still reading the second volume. :laughing:

Glad to see you got this cleared up. :+1:

It’ll probably just be things I recently bought but haven’t read yet (and therefore have no opinion on), so don’t get too excited. :joy:

Maybe I’ll read along with the LN. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ahhh, good to know :sweat_smile:

looks through your recent owned list. Thank you for the new additions to my wish list :joy:

All my noms so far are things I’ve already read (besides 転生王女, which I’m apparently reading). Tho if we get close to the deadline, maybe I’ll nominate one or two unreads

staaaahhhp, you’re really making me want to read it lol j/k … I’ll stick with the manga for now, cuz I’m lazy

Ha, yeah that’s fair. I personally don’t read manga that are adapted from novels. It’s the original or bust for me.

I guess that makes sense in terms of a reward. :rofl:
But I was so anticipating them as I scrolled down.
