- I said NO

x = ?
- if nominations > 10 then x = 6
- x = 5
- x = 3
- no such thing as x, math is a made up social construction that no one actually uses IRL

Are “failed nominations” all the nominations that didn’t get picked?

From the context of the BL club (where we had similar polls), then yes.

Given how few nominations are have rn, I don’t think it makes sense to worry about dropping (20 is the limit, right?). Probably I wouldn’t drop anything from next round, until there’s at least 12 nominations.
At that point I’d say drop max 3, then at 15, max 5. Just my 2 cents though, feel free to ignore

Title: 君と綴るうたかた 1 | L24
Book type: manga
Available formats: physical / ebook
Summary - Japanese
人との接点を避けて生きている
女子高生·星川雫は、
誰にも見せずに執筆していた小説をクラスメイトの 朝香夏織に見られてしまう。
作品を朝笑されると怯える雫だったが、 小説を読んだ夏織からは
全く予想していない感想が飛び出してきて…。
物語を通してつながる少女ニ人の、
甘く切ないひと夏だけの恋人ごっこ
Summary - English
The self-conscious Shizuku Hoshikawa is on her way to dispose of her first and last novel. But before she can do so, the charismatic Kaori Asaka bumps into her and ends up taking the novel home. This turn of events greatly distresses Shizuku, as she does not want anyone to read the depressing story she wrote for her own satisfaction.
Initially expecting the worst, Shizuku finds herself in tears of joy when Kaori tells her the novel deeply moved her. Kaori wishes to read more of her stories, but as Shizuku did not plan on writing anything else, she has no idea what to write. As a result, Kaori comes up with a bizarre suggestion—their love.
Shizuku is skeptical of Kaori’s intention and somewhat uneasy about what secrets she may be hiding behind her smile. Nevertheless, the two begin their odd summer vacation in pursuit of their own love story.

Reason(s) for nominating: I love the art style. It’s Fully Colored!! Characters are college age. It’s fast paced and wholesome. It’s not a “will they or won’t they” story, nor a “we have to keep it a secret story”, but a story of two college girls with a very wonderful relationship. Lots of 胸がドキドキ moments! The whole series is 3 volumes total, so easy to continue if anyone wants to. Maybe I’ll finally remember how to pronounce the title, if we read it together
