Discussion Guidelines

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.

Posting Advice

  • When asking for help, please mention the page number, and check before posting that your question hasn’t already been asked. As the threads get longer, it becomes more convenient to use the Search function, which is located in the upper right corner of the forum. It is the magnifying glass which is near your profile picture! The best way to search is usually to type part of the sentence you are confused about, and select “in this topic”. This will show you all posts within the current thread which has that string of text.
  • Be sure to join the conversation! It’s fun, and it’s what keeps these book clubs lively! There’s no such thing as a stupid question! We are all learning here, and if the question has crossed your mind, there’s a very good chance it has crossed somebody else’s also! Asking and answering questions is a great learning opportunity for everyone involved, so never hesitate to do so!

Chapter 19

Ahhh dang, he seems really really sweet
I’m worried a little that this is a flashback though :sob: I’m hoping nothing too terrible went down between them, but I feel like something happened :grimacing: Well! I guess unless they didn’t bump into each other again, and he’s going to reenter the story now, in present time

Just finished this weeks chapter… he does seem very sweet, but I don’t want him getting in the way of hiroto haha. The minimalist reveal at the end was also pretty funny - overall an enjoyable reading.

Week 3: 20日目

chapter 20

I love the sketch here, and how much like his father the baby looks


I also really liked how サキ was introduced, I knew that ヒデキ was probably exaggerating but she is a lot more carefree than I expected

Chapter 20

Ahh his wife is so cute I love her!!


YUM I WANT SOME PLEASE

Also Natsumi, I feel you hahaha

With the way the chapter ended, and just peaking at the next chapters title, I wanna keep reading!!! And I will >:)

Chapter 21


When she had that reaction at lunch, I wondered if it was because she liked him!!!
Even if it ends up being awkward, I feel like they’re good friends and are good enough at communicating that it won’t upset their friendship!

Looks like that!

p. 72

Howww arigatou became this:

72 + other thoughts

Yeah that one had my brain loading for about 2 seconds lol.

Was kind of hoping for natsumi and akarin to end up together so not a big fan of the new guy showing up out of nowhere but oh well :sob:

Chapter 21

Yeah, Akari looked super serious when asking the question. I’m wondering what her motivation for asking is. Hopefully it’s just to cheer her on!

Chapter 22

Man I’m starting to think that reading this is borderline bad for me because the WARM FEELING IS JUST TOOOO GOOD!!! I love my life but I would kill to live in a world that feels like this one :face_holding_back_tears:

I feel like killing to get into this world would disqualify you from it. A bit of a Catch-22 there. :face_with_tongue:

Damn figure of speeches locking me out of heaven :pensive_face:

I fear to ask what this is
