からかい上手の(元)高木さん Book Club

からかい上手の(元)高木さん Book Club

On March 11th, 2021, the Absolute Beginner Club voted to read からかい上手の高木さん. Reading began on May 1st and was completed at the end of June of the same year.

Immediately after, an offshoot club formed to continue the series.

After three years and eight months, the からかい上手の高木さん book club has come to an end, but Takagi’s teasing hasn’t concluded yet.

I’ve finished the first five volumes already, so I voted for the fastest schedule and the earliest start date. I’m excited to read with everyone, so please catch up soon! :slight_smile:

I realize I think I already read vol 1 and maybe vol 2 a while back so start times don’t matter quite so much

For starting, looks like we should probably go ahead with the week of the 23rd.

In the meantime, anyone ready for a warm-up week, I recommend re-reading:

  • Volume 5, first chapter, 思い出
  • Volume 18, first chapter, タイムカプセル

Starting in a week, we’ll try out two chapters per week and see how that works out.
