# Let’s read Crayon Shin Chan together! > When there is enough interest to read volume 2, this book club will be re-activated.

The comedy in this manga/anime centers round his inappropriate behaviour, such as using wrong words or phrases or flirting with hot babes. There is also a lot of physical comedy. If you want to get better acquainted, you could have a look at the anime. ## Where to get **Physical:** [Amazon JP (¥586)](https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AC%E3%83%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%81%97%E3%82%93%E3%81%A1%E3%82%83%E3%82%93-Volume2-Action-comics-%E8%87%BC%E4%BA%95/dp/4575932981/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=) **eBook:** [Kobo JP (¥660)](https://books.rakuten.co.jp/rk/04d05abda9a542e2864076d6dd0e4c09/?l-id=item-c-seriesitem) ・ [Amazon JP (¥557)](https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AC%E3%83%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%81%97%E3%82%93%E3%81%A1%E3%82%83%E3%82%93-%EF%BC%9A-2-%E3%82%A2%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9-%E8%87%BC%E4%BA%95%E5%84%80%E4%BA%BA-ebook/dp/B009DYOH4Y/ref=tmm_kin_title_sr?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=) ・ [Bookwalker (¥660)](https://bookwalker.jp/de0e50eaea-f175-4bfe-93f3-1074421c7cdd/) ## Discussion [Volume 1 discussion thread](https://community.wanikani.com/t/%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AC%E3%82%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%81%97%E3%82%93%E3%81%A1%E3%82%83%E3%82%93-volume-1-discussion/42018) ## Vocab list > **[クレヨンしんちゃん 💩](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rzT1WntN2CH8XHUZJVVKdfYjbd3cWPTAS6YLOJHn3r4/edit#gid=1315250268)** > > This Sheet is private _Please read the editing guidelines in the first sheet before adding any words!_ ---

That’s probably **新** クレヨンしんちゃん. I’ve got volume 1 and that’s got furigana. Volume 1 of the original series doesn’t. The other volumes of the original series do have furigana, but the scans make them a bit hard to read. I think that will be the biggest challenge in reading volume 2 🤔 ---

I’m with @Viridithon on this - my copy does seem to have furigana, although they’re so small as to be impressionistic: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/a/2/7/a2773992609663f002983d2c8c24e1ea0cbea5e6.jpeg) @nienque, could you show me the first strip in your copy of volume one? I’m curious as to what’s going on now. As for schedule… I just want to be careful about biting too much off as I’m also supposed to be reading なぜ？ at the moment. If we were limited to three pages a week or something I would think it would be fine. ---

> [@curiousjp](#): > > could you show me the first strip in your copy of volume one? I’m curious as to what’s going on now. No you’re right, I mislooked. I figured out how to zoom in and there they are! Not sure how I managed to notice them in volume 2 but miss them here 🤦🏼‍♀️ In that case we might as well read volume 1. Does anyone happen to have a physical copy? I wonder if the furigana are more legible in physical copies and this is not the best of scans 🤔 ---

Yes, 新クレヨンしんちゃん is a different series. It was started after the author of the original series died. I have volume 1 and the contents are entirely different from volume 1 of クレヨンしんちゃん. ---

So far there are 15 people who are keen on the bookclub, but many of them have some concerns about timing. I think there are two ways to fit Shin Chan into our reading schedule: - It’s a full-fledged book club: we read a fair number of pages a week (like 9 or 12?). We will wait for some of the other book clubs to be finished before we start. - It’s supplementary reading: we can read one or two short stories a week (3 or 6 pages) while we also read our other books, and we can start pretty much straightaway. Or maybe there’s a middle way too… Here are some polls to figure this out 😃 What would be your ideal starting moment? _Poll ([view on site](https://community.wanikani.com/t/%E3%80%90-dormant-%F0%9F%98%B4-%E3%80%91%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AC%E3%83%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%81%97%E3%82%93%E3%81%A1%E3%82%83%E3%82%93-crayon-shin-chan-home-thread-%F0%9F%92%A9/41842/16))_ What would be your ideal tempo? _Poll ([view on site](https://community.wanikani.com/t/%E3%80%90-dormant-%F0%9F%98%B4-%E3%80%91%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AC%E3%83%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%81%97%E3%82%93%E3%81%A1%E3%82%83%E3%82%93-crayon-shin-chan-home-thread-%F0%9F%92%A9/41842/16))_ ---

Based on the votes in the poll, it looks like we’ll be trying to read 6 pages a week. I suggest we start next Monday. For those who would like to join us later (e.g. in March or May), that’ll be perfectly fine because there is no overarching plot in between the stories. Whoever wants to join us later can dive right in! ---

I’m using a dictionary app on my phone to search for the kanji by drawing them. I’ve tried it out on a few and it works quite well. I am more concerned about the puns I won’t be getting. But I just really want to read Shin Chan (not gonna lie, 50% of my motivation to learn Japanese is wanting to read Shin Chan) so I will plough through! ---
