ひらやすみ・Hirayasumi Book Club Volume 3! 🏠

Chapter 22


Haha this was so real, and I love the 「忙しい人は読まなくていいです」

The way that out of all the possibilities she considered, that was not one haha

Thaaaat… is really funny and also makes a lot of sense

AWEE YAYYY​:tada:

That may be something best asked of your parents. :face_with_tongue:

But yeah, apparently it’s an annual tradition for the Musashino Art University festival. I found this image of one such example on Reddit (though it’s perhaps NSFW, and is marked so on Reddit, so you’ll need to have an account and be logged into it to view).

Clicking that you’re 18 yo is enough! I checked… purely for research purposes of course… :saluting_face:

Oh, really? On my computer, clicking the “I’m 18” button just results in Reddit going “oh yeah? So prove it by logging in”. Maybe it’s a regional thing.

Ah yes, logging in - the impenetrable defense. I remember not being able to log in when I was 17.

Silly Reddit

Honesty is the best policy, and my truth is I got a little caught up last week and read this weeks chapter too :head_shaking_vertically:

Chapter 23

I love Yomogi’s friend! Hopefully they will get to see each other more often the once a year :smiling_face_with_tear:

But if Yomogi wants to laugh more oftennnn she should be around Hiroto more often :eyes:

I know, it’s been harder recently to only read one chapter! It’s just so good hehe

It’s not my club, but would everyone be more interested in two chapters a week perhaps? If not, it’s totally fine and I don’t mind sticking to one chapter :head_shaking_vertically:

Planning to host a reading pace poll in-between volumes - if everyone agrees to up the pace then we can! Agreed though I’m enjoying it a lot!

Excited to discuss!

mfw I start a chapter and realize it’s got ばーちゃん in it


YEAHHHH, hard agree hahaha

A couple of weeks ago, reading Detective Conan:

Me: “What is this 劫? I don’t know this kanji. Let’s look it up and see if it’s worth learning. Hm, no, seems like something I may never encounter again.”

Just now, reading Hirayasumi:

Me: “What is this 劫? I don’t know this kanji. Let’s look it up and see if it’s worth learning. Hm, no, seems like something I may never encounter again.”

p. 123


Her calligraphy fits the chapter’s mood: 温故知新 - developing new ideas based on study of the past, learning from the past

Aww I like that! I didn’t notice that detail at all, thanks!

Hiroto is so mature. Whenever Natsumi takes out her frustration on him, he just takes it in stride. She’s lucky to have someone like him as her guardian while she’s at college. Good on her though for realizing she went too far and apologizing.

We already made it to the end of 3!! Hope everybody enjoys the final chapter. We’ll be beginning volume 4 next week and upping the pace to 2 chapters a week so make sure to pick up your copy if you haven’t yet!

I like this pairing too!
Love that our main characters are so opposite. It’s like you can see things from two different perspectives.
