I think for the next six months or so this should not be an issue. Things will probably change again till then and who knows what the situation will look like at that point.
For now, those who can’t keep up with Kiki or want to keep reading Yotsuba can join the manga club. It doesn’t even have to be a manga club, it may just be a Yotsubato reading group.
As for vocabulary pack, you can find it here.
I like that! 
I don’t really want to compete with the beginner book club, but I think there’s value to reading a series in series, as long as people find it interesting, and the rotation model isn’t really conducive to that, though it does provide a lot of jumping-on points for people with differing tastes in material.
I’m on Yotsuba v6 now and it’s almost starting to feel fluent, even if I’m still glossing over a bunch of grammar over mid-N4, but I’d follow this group and help out whenever I could.
This sounds really solid. Would be pretty great if we could make it happen.
I agree. I think a dedicated group for よつばと！really covers the best of both worlds. That way we don’t have to worry about competition, or splitting from the beginner book club.
Sounds perfect to me!
Getting the ball rolling would really just be starting a new thread with a poll asking when to begin volume 2. Anyone still subbed to this one will see activity, which isn’t all that common, and we can post in the main book club thread for anyone who’s moved on.
Just provide enough of a lead for people to notice (probably two weeks). I think we can reasonably assume that people who wanted to continue with it picked up more volumes with their initial order or after reading through volume 1, and we’ve seen that newcomers have jumped into this thread to start reading along after the fact. (It might be a good idea to give the new thread a tempatey title, though, so it, and its discussion threads, can be recognised easily; maybe “よつばと！ Reading Club [planning]” and “よつばと！ Reading Club [Volume 2]”)
-Edit-
I’d offer to take point here, but I’ve got a jury summons for next week, so I have no idea what my availability will be like while we’re trying to drive interest.
Yes, all we need is someone to organise it.
I’d volunteer except that I really am not good at this kind of thing (believe me!)
But once the club has started, I’ll get stuck right in with lots of questions and even perhaps a few answers this time round!
If nobody else picks it up, I’ll get it started, but I may have to hand it off, at least temporarily, if I don’t get rejected during selection or it looks like I’ll be out of it for a while.
If no one else is doing it, I’ll make the thread in a minute
Edit: ha just saw your post @fl0rm I’d say go for it, but you know your schedule best
The problem is that, right now, I don’t know my schedule
lol, okay okay. Let’s just make a thread and figure the details out later. I’m was just unsure since I haven’t done it before. Mind if I run it through you?
There’s not really much to it. Take a look at what the Beginner Book Club did (though keeping track of who is and is not participating may be optional, since it’s admin overhead and readers know who they are) and create a similar poll, in the first post after the topic post (reply to yourself, since it’ll let people direct-link to the poll, instead of the potentially large summary post) with the item under the gear/options icon.
We decided to begin on Sundays last time, so I’d suggest listing every Sunday between next and mid-February as start-dates and whichever one has the most votes wins. Let people vote for multiple dates; we had a discussion about that in the other thread, too, and there were some really good arguments for multi-voting.
People will kinda just organise themselves after the thread’s up.
Also, make the first post a wiki-style thing, if you can (I believe it can be changed later). It’ll let you share the burden of keeping links and resources up to date with other participants. Anyone who meets the member criteria (basically, anyone who’s been active on the forums for at least a week) can edit those.
Since your profile says your trust level is “member”, you’ve met whatever the conditions are.
Alright, doing it now
The skeleton post is up now, we can all add to it
I don’t see it as a wiki-style post (I’ll look into how to configure that), but it looks good. Thanks for getting it started!
yeah, I don’t think i have the trust level for that. (you might need to be a regular?? not sure)
Yes, you need regular to make posts wikis, and you can only make your own posts wikis. If you’re not going to gain trust level soon you might want to consider asking Kristen or another mod to do it.
