Isn’t that a bit cruel to say, though?
I mean, the sooner @Thud gets through volume 15, the longer and more agonizing the wait for volume 16 will be!

I mean I’ll obviously will continue reading yotsuba, but as test is coming up I imagine I’m gonna spend more time and energy on preparation for that.
After that I’m free.

Is there no kindle version of this, or am I just to daft to find it?
Edit: Nevermind, should have used the search function on the thread - there isn’t.

It never occurred to me even once that ジュラルミン might be a strange word she picked up somewhere instead of a strange word that’s complete nonsense and so this was a big shock last night:
Apparently it’s a real material you can make arrows out of.
I guess if I’d ever looked it up I would have seen “common word” under it, but somehow not believed it… “duralumin” just… sounds more like something Yotsuba would make up than it does a real material.
Go figure!
(edited out a part that could be considered a mild spoiler just in case)

I think you’d be relieved to know that (afaik) it’s Yotsuba trying to pronounce ジュリエッタ (Ena’s teddy bear’s name) and failing.

Oh I agree! But I now think that in her mistaken pronunciation she landed on a word she’d heard before, like a “Tatiana” “… Titanium” type of thing, where previously I thought she just originated it whole-cloth.
…why are we whispering?

Volume 15 is coming out in English… sometime this month. Google’s giving me the 27th of September as the release date, but the e-mail I just got from my local Kinokuniya implies that it’s more like this week (but doesn’t give a precise date).

Oh, don’t have it on pre-order yet!
.*orders!
Thanks for the reminder!
Where I ordered (Bookdepository) they claimed the 27th too.

Kobo of Japan gives the 28th for the English digital release on the Japanese digital store, which would be the 27th where I am in the US.

This is true, I’m feeling a bit sad after catching up. I don’t think another chapter was published since this volume came out.

Beginner book club voting now
Sorry for all the spam I hope you can forgive me.
The beginner book club is currently voting on what to read next, you have until Sunday to participate. If you are interested have a look!
I’m SUPER excited to trudge my way through this series while looking up everything on every page since I’m only at level 4 
!!! It will be my first Manga ever, and reading them is one of the main goals I have for myself in learning the Japanese language. I wish to learn more about Manga in general too!

Okay! I have started よつばと！(my first manga ever) since finally getting it for a Christmas gift! A few regular very kind people have been helping me in my Study Log, and my goal is to read 1-2 pages a day at my current level of messy sloppy understanding 
I just spent THREE HOURS on pages 6 and 7, and my end result seems full of many many holes and misunderstandings. Anyway - I just wanted to provide a link to my post for any よつばと！readers who might feel up for spending the time to analyze my attempt. I had SO much fun reading this though!

The first chapter is much more difficult than the second.

Yup! Someone pointed out the vocab list to me yesterday and I had a MUCH easier time reading two pages. But my main problem was also pointed out in my study log that I wasn’t reading the bubbles right (since this is my first Manga ever!) Thank you for taking the time to make sure, though!
