Join the Beginner Book Club here! Welcome to the ひとりぼっちの○○生活 Book Club! [cover] Introduction Hitori Bocchi is a girl with social anxiety who has difficulty communicating with others. Before starting middle school, her friend Yawara Kai, who will attend a different school, tells Bocchi she is brea…

I’m just sad that there isn’t much love for 4-koma. I think this might be the first (full) 4-koma picked by beginner book club. And even though two won already in the intermediate book club, the reception has been pretty mixed.

I found this one quite readable, for a yonkoma. I’m just finding that the other stuff is piling up. [image] seanblue: I think this might be the first (full) 4-koma picked by beginner book club. One Week Friends was (mostly) a yonkoma. Komi-san sorta turns into one, eventually. (For some reas…

Realizing I may need to be a little more choosy with which books I can commit to offshoots of haha. …

That’s totally fair. Having your first BBC be one without furigana adds to the difficulty for sure.

I’ve already bought book 3 and perhaps others so I’m definitely in for an offshoot. I’m in Japan at the moment so am a little behind with my reading.
