しろくまカフェ Vol 1: Absolute Beginner Book Club

Correct. :slight_smile:

You’re absolutely right, it says いろんな on the book.
I guess this is why this is a community effort ! Thanks!

Thanks! I fixed it in the list.

I guess this probably occurred because of just writing “ironna” which then contracts “nn” to ん - this happened to me so frequently, also in WK reviews (grrr) that I got used to doubling the “n” automatically. Now I’m so used to it that I sometimes even duplicate the “n” in English :joy:

I did put *色んな as a side commentary so I’ll blame it on the double “N” thing :laughing:

I have the digital bis version so I could put the page numbers in for that. Question is, do I go by the table of contents which says the first chapter starts at page 5 or by the number that says it’s page 7/203?

The pages of the digital “bis” version (that are displayed by the reader app) are always the pages of the analog one + 2 (at least in my version). I checked this when I took the screenshots for all the chapter start pages some time ago.

(Just to save you from putting too much effort into this :slight_smile: )

I’m officially impressed…

I wonder how many people will remain after a couple of weeks :thinking:

So what! It’s the spirit that counts :wink:

I can’t wait to start! Of course, I don’t have my book yet, and it will be a while before it gets here. ^^; I should have tried to find a place to buy it where it would get here more quickly! Oh well, it doesn’t really matter since it’s supposed to get here just in time for us to actually start, anyway. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ooft, feels bad to be contributing to the no profile pic brigade…

Quite striking, isn’t it? Maybe some will get inspired now :joy:

Done! :smiley:

Wow! That’s great! I totally forgot about Book Off so I didn’t check to see if it was available at a branch close to me.

My books just came yesterday! I also ended up getting the old ones. It looks like it’s going to be a challenge for me, but I’m excited to try anyways.

Anyways, nice to meet you everyone!

Dang, me too. Goal for tomorrow is to get that fixed.

Just noticed that the old and new version have different sizing. I have vol 1 of 少女終末旅行 . Which version of しろくまカフェ should I get if I want to maintain the same size?

I think the old editions of Shirokuma are oversized, so I’d get the new because Girl’s Last Tour is fairly standard. You should probably just accept that your manga are not all going to be the same size though; book sizes don’t seem to be as standardised in Japan.

I think I just learned a valuable lesson about these book clubs, buy early! I was on the fence for a couple of days, decided yesterday to go for it and the price on Amazon US went up by 10 dollars and shipping is like 3 weeks at least now. Looking forward to working with everyone though!

Can anyone tell me what the second book (in the old series) is? Is it the one with the penguin on the front, or the panda?

(I bought them both from Book Off today - 241 yen each - but don’t know which is which, or even if they come later in the series still!)
