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.
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.
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).
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.

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!

I wonder if she was just tired, or if was she crying in her sleep :((
She had to skip breakfast, and then right after the contrast of Natsumi not appreciating the very nice breakfast made for her haha :’)
Why is everyone hating on the house, it’s not that beat up!! It’s so cute, I would love to live there
It was interesting, especially comparing her walking alone at home in the rice fields, and walking alone in Tokyo. I feel like sometimes when we aren’t content where we’re at (physically or in other aspects) it’s easy to think “oh it would better if I was there instead” or “I would be happy if things were like this instead.” But thinking that won’t make you happy because you’ll never be content with where you’re currently at. And it was a very short but effective way to show that for Natsumi here. She had a mini-arc and even ended up appreciating the sound of the frogs
It is the customers talking. And since they’re being all flirty it’s written weird haha, but the 「いがーい」is「意外」that they’re surprised or it’s unexpected that someone pretty like here would work there
Each time they meet, is clear that it’s destiny! They just can’t behave normally in each other’s company!
I wonder in which volume they’ll begin to change their lifestyles (for Yomogi - stopping overworking; for Hiroto - pursuing the actor path maybe).
It’s so cute, I would love to live there
I’m glad Natsumi has found someone she can confide in.
