## Vocabulary List

> **[Non Non Biyori Volume 1 Vocab](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pPetOeoCrqRDH0-eqz7UNilHcr0lYNZI95VGGFGSSvI/edit?usp=sharing)**
>
> This Sheet is private

Please follow the following guidelines when adding vocabulary to the list. This will help ensure that everyone adds vocab in a consistent way, which will make it easier to use.

> **Vocabulary List Guidelines**
>
> - **General** :
> - Make sure to use unformatted text by double clicking into a cell before pasting.
> - Try not to include the same word (with the same meaning) more than once for the same chapter.
> 
> - `Vocab (Kanji)` column:
> - Use the kanji that are actually used in the manga. This also means leaving this column blank if the word is written in kana.
> - Use the dictionary form for adjectives and verbs, not the conjugated forms.
> - For example, if the word in the manga is 分かりました, you should add it as 分かる.
> 
> - `Vocab (Hiragana)` column:
> - Use the hiragana that are actually used in the manga, **UNLESS** it is a made up katakana word for the series. In that case, use the most common real reading, and mention the made up reading in the `Notes` column.
> - For example (from Aria), in the manga, 地球 is given the reading マンホーム, but it should still be entered as ちきゅう (with マンホーム in the `Notes` column).
> 
> - Use the dictionary form for adjectives and verbs, not the conjugated forms.
> - For example, if the word in the manga is 分かりました, you should add it as 分かる.
> 
> - `English Translation` column:
> - If you are not (reasonably) sure which translation is being used in the given context, don’t add the word to the spreadsheet. Adding it without knowing which meaning is correct could cause confusion.
> - To keep the spreadsheet simple, use the definitions from [jisho.org](http://jisho.org) or a similar J-\>E dictionary.
> - If more than one of the definitions could be correct, separate them by a ・ (written using `/` in the IME).
> - For example, for [書く](https://jisho.org/search/%E6%9B%B8%E3%81%8F) you would put `to write; to compose; to pen​・to draw; to paint` if you feel like either is a likely interpretation for the given context.
> 
> - If the definition goes past the end of the column, try to remove alternate spellings first (e.g. “color” and “colour”) and then try to remove words with similar English meanings.
> 
> - `Notes` column:
> - Use this column to add additional information that could be helpful, like if the word in the manga is a colloquial form of the official word.

Assuming you don’t live in Japan, you can probably only order things shipped and sold by Amazon.co.jp. That how it is for my orders to the United States at least.

If you like ebooks at all, they are half off until tomorrow. I just ordered the first two volumes new from Amazon.co.jp.

Yeah, I know. The ones which are fulfilled by Amazon usually also work, but they didn’t this time. I don’t have an e-reader so I don’t really read e-books. I like physical copies ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/3X/6/c/6c3dd2aa55a3c05f2a3f3977aa891d7663b0cb33.png)

Thanks seanblue!

I’m getting really excited - I keep trying to read the free ebook but dang, I just cannot make out the furigana, and the zoom doesn’t work properly for me.

@kumirei I think I found a copy from the US, in the end?

I was curious how different it would be reading between the two. The physical book is so much easier to read! I don’t think I’ll ever purchase digital manga.

So it looks like I’ll be the only masochist reading the electronic copy… 😜

Which, for the benefit of anyone considering it, I am reading on an ipad using the Bookwalker app, and it has been easier to read that way than I expected.

I only bought the one volume. Mostly because I can’t really continue **every** book club series in perpetuity, or I’d be doing nothing but reading books all week.

Not that that’s a **bad** thing, it’s just I need to eat sometime. And sleep. And go to work…
