I decided that breaking the volume into 1 chapter long weeks should in theory work here as well, since, while the difficulty is slightly up from last volume, the chapters are also appreciatably shorter towards the beginning and only ramp up towards the end. However if someone feels like this is too fast or too slow, just let me know.

I imagine that should say “will you be reading vol 3 with the book club?” …

Only thing I managed to miss…

So, I managed to start on schedule \o/

Ch. 16

I really like how this pose is drawn:


Also looks like 時計塔 means a tower with one big clock, but this cover led me into the other direction :grin:

What a creepy cliffhanger.

This made my neck and knee hurt just by looking at it :sweat_smile:.

Chapter 16

Ahh, a cliffhanger!

I’ve been playing BotW in Japanese lately, and it had me thinking that this manga would make a great open world video game where you explore the ruins yourself.

Oops, forgot that I didn’t do the Saturday post, so let this be a quick amendment of that.

Week 2!

Question p. 52

Not much text on this page and still there’s a kanji I can’t recognize - in the middle of the third line:


第三子機
通信圏内
要?助

Help? Or as this line says - necessary something-something help :laughing:

I think it is probably 救助 but not 100% sure.

It fits, thanks!

Week 4, give it up for week 4!

Ch. 18

Hm, sort of cliffhangerish again. I suppose it was too much to hope for that we’d get another conventionally alive character so soon after meeting our first two. At least the trail leading to the guy who made the broadcast hasn’t gone cold yet.

Living people? In my post apocalyptic manga? Never

Chapter 17

This was a nice chapter (the clock tower), although I really want to make some kind of Five Nights at Freddy’s joke about the animatronic band… But that feels a bit disrespectful :joy:

To the Freddy’s crew or the weird, pseudo-religious band in the clocktower?

The pseudo-religious animatronic clocktower band. All those people died from the crystal disease there while wanting their last respite and I’m referencing mid horror video games!
