Welcome to しろくまカフェ Volume 2! 
bis version
Home ThreadNote this club is based on the originally published series. If you have the bis version the content will be mostly the same but there are differences in page numbers and chapter titles
Schedule
Important Info
- Make sure to use the half of the table that matches your version of the books! Left half for original, right half for bis!
- bis readers: chapters 24-28 are in your volume 1, chapters 29-48 are in volume 2. For original readers everything is in volume 2
- bis readers will have to do some jumping about as the chapters are in different orders, and chapters 40, 41, etc are in volume 3 of the original so won’t be read until next thread

Discussion Questions
- What was your favourite joke each week?
- What is your favourite picture each week?
Spoiler Courtesy
Please follow these rules to avoid inadvertent ネタバレ. If you’re unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.
- Any potential spoiler for the current week’s reading need only be covered by a spoiler tag. Predictions and conjecture made by somebody who has not read ahead still falls into this category.
- Any potential spoilers for external sources need to be covered by a spoiler tag and include a label (outside of the spoiler tag) of what might be spoiled. These include but are not limited to: other book club picks, other books, games, movies, anime, etc. I recommend also tagging the severity of the spoiler (for example, I may still look at minor spoilers for something that I don’t intend to read soon).
- Any information from later in the book than the current week’s reading (including trigger warnings that haven’t yet manifested) needs to be hidden by spoiler tags and labeled as coming from later sections.
Instructions for Spoiler Tags
Click the cog above the text box and use either the “Hide Details” or “Blur Spoiler” options. The text which says “This text will be hidden” should be replaced with what you are wishing to write. In the case of “Hide Details”, the section in the brackets that is labelled “Summary” can be replaced with whatever you like also (i.e, [details=”Chapter 1, Pg. 1”]).
Hide Details results in the dropdown box like below:
Example
This is an example of the “Hide Details” option.
The “Blur Spoiler” option will simply blur the text it surrounds.
This is an example of the “Blur Spoiler” option.
