I did an image search of 床板 and apparently it is also used for like beds, like the wood that suspends it above the ground.
The くれって seems to be a quote, because it would be くれて, if she was asking him? So something like… someone said to take the book shelf AND the bed, right?
I can ask my Japanese friends but the usually say it all depends on context, so given that they are new characters just blowing through the page, I’m assuming a Japanese would just read and keep going with out really worrying about understanding.
That seems about right. The English version translated it to something roughly like “she said we can take the floorboards not just the bookshelf” or something to that effect. However, translations are obviously not 1:1. I do think the くれって is a quote since it seems like she’s relaying what the person on the phone said. I also agree I think a native would 100% gloss over this XD. I think the main point is they are on their way out to go pick up some stuff and just kind of casually greet him as they’re leaving.
There were so many lovely page layouts in this chapter! Especially when Tasuku was sleeping to the wintery music.
I felt so bad this chapter too for Tasuku being bullied so badly at school, but then I was glad to see the people at the lounge being so nice to him without prying about why he was having a hard time.
登り慣れてない、level 25, I just forget sometimes you can connect them like that.
越してきた、level 30, I didn’t realize you could short this and have it still mean moved to.
あっさり、I haven’t seen this word yet, easily, quickly.
幻を見た、まぼろし＞ゆめ, I think they sometimes use simple words for furigana?
明後日、know this word just forget the kanji lol.
沈む、level 43 to sink. I’ve seen it before but rarely.
Just double checked the summary in the first post and I guess it’s might be Onomichi rather then Mukaishima, but perhaps we will get more info on the precise location later on? And completely unrelated, but I just read a book in English recently that was also set in Onomichi, so it’s really heartwarming and interesting for me to see this setting again.
You’re probably right. It was just that Mukaishima was more centered in the zoom in, but the arrow is more on the cat’s stomach which seems to be the mainland lol.
Seems like the city of Onomichi is actually spanning both mainland and the Mukaishima island. How cool, now I want to visit.
うかれた空気が充満してる、I often have trouble with abstract language. Air is filled with excitement.
ガチじゃん, Never heard this word. It’s confirmed, it’s legit, isn’t it.
Did anyone understand who 兄ちゃん was? Or wait are they saying if his brother sent them yo him that he’s gay to?

well that’s chapter 2, sorry @Clovie I’ve going slow…
I learned about this construction for the first time here too! Makes sense
Yeah
Yeah, he’s talking about the rumour being circulated
I couldn’t immediately find some of the other vocab you had questions about. If it’s not too much trouble, next time if you could include the page numbers where there are specific questions, I think that would help with finding where they are in the chapter!
No worries! I think it’s fine if we all go at our own pace
I completely forgot about this book club and I haven’t been on this forum that much as of late, which hasn’t helped.
I just read the first chapter (which was perfectly the free preview from Booklive), so I am technically only one week late.
I really like the style, although I have to say that 誰かさん just floating away from the cliff was kinda weird. I didn’t expect supernatural stuff in this story… I hope it’s just the main character being so confused that he imagined stuff. Other than that, I really like the setup and the style looks really good.
I have a bazillion stuff I need to finish reading and return to the library, though, so I’m not sure if I will be back before the end of the club, but I’ll still comment on what I thought.
I believe that 誰かさん is supernatural, but she/they (idk) are the only one. And she doesn’t really care enough to use the supernatural much anyway. I think at one point she’s gotten a part time job folding envelopes of something.
I forgot to say I really enjoyed the way the last one ended with the winter music.
鞄 Kanji we don’t for かばん

橘君 must be the name of the person on the next page but not sure the reading.

へろへろの釘 weak, flimsy nail.
Eh, it’s late so that’s all I have in me. I have a hard time understanding the ping pong conversation even though I could “read” it but I understand the outcome I guess.

Does this mean Taichi became a shadow, like he’s ghost or doesn’t show up? But later he is here? What?!
I so blessed to have just got to the forties because I could actually read: 破壊

I don’t quite understand what the image became 誰かさん. Because he doesn’t want anyone to see he’s gay, but he also told her. I don’t really understand his fixation on her. Is it because she’s mean so he doesn’t feel like he has anything to lose with her?
I think it’s because of a few reasons: she (they?) seems a bit supernatural/out of this world, and that had Tasuku a bit mystified maybe. But others also said you could go talk to her without being judged or expecting an answer - I think its akin to opening up to a stranger without being judged or hearing their opinion back, so indeed having nothing to lose. Also, I think he is still struggling with the Am I really gay? Thing, and talking to her gave him some clarity as well.
and I haven’t been on this forum that much as of late, which hasn’t helped.
