# What’s this about? This is an unscheduled club to read サイレント・ウィッチ volume 2. We’ve read [volume 1](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/68494) with the [Intermediate Book Club](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/18908), and [volume 3 is over here](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/73137). ![b9c9911b-5822-45c7-a08a-ba67e1bb3732](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/d/4/d/d4d7a01c7b345e785048d112ca514a7f454f4338.jpeg) You can find this book on Natively here: [サイレント・ウィッチ II 沈黙の魔女の隠しごと | L30](https://learnnatively.com/book/ae04837936/) # How will the club work? Like I mentioned above - this is an unscheduled club. You can start at any time, and read as quickly or slowly as you want to. To make it easy to talk about the content even though we aren’t reading it at the same time, I’ll make a thread per chapter. So whenever you finish a chapter and want to discuss it, just do it in the appropriate thread. (Also feel free to use things like a e.g. a “Comments on the first half of this chapter” detail tag if you want to comment before you read a whole chapter.) # Threads - [プロローグ 休日のささやかな挑戦](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71150) - [一章 沈黙の魔女、改め失言の魔女](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71151) - [二章 恐怖の魔力量測定](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71152) - [三章 尾の無い雄牛と快活令嬢、スカートを穿いた猫](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71155) - [四章 ギュルンギュルン](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71227) - [五章 大体、宝石職人のおかげ](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71229) - [六章 場違いな一杯](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71230) - [七章 苦い紅茶が見せた夢](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71555) - [八章 真打ち悪役令嬢の高笑い](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71556) - [九章 チョコレートの事情](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71557) - [十章 幸せな約束](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71801) - [十一章 わたしの責務](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71802) - [エピローグ 柔らかな壁](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/71803) Missing threads will be created soon! # Are you going to read this?

Alright, so here’s the offshoot thread at least! It’ll still be a day or two until I get to make the actual chapter threads, but at least this is _something_, right? Right? # Apropos “chapter threads”… _Poll ([view on site](https://community.wanikani.com/t/%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AC%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%83%BB%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A3%E3%83%83%E3%83%81-volume-2/71091/2))_ I strongly tend towards one thread per chapter at the moment. I think it’ll make talking about what we read easier since we will be reading at different points in time, and I see little reason not to, but let’s see if I’m completely alone with that opinion. ---

Surprised we seem to have a majority for one thread per chapter. How does that work for a club without a schedule? Are you just going to post all chapter threads in advance? ---

> [@Boodil](#): > > Are you just going to post all chapter threads in advance? Yep, that’s the plan. I feel like anything else is just going to make it hard to properly read all posts for a certain chapter. If we keep it in this thread, it would probably be something like: - Chapter 1 thoughts by A - Chapter 2 thoughts by A - Chapter 3 thoughts by A - Chapter 1 thoughts by B - Chapter 4 thoughts by A - Chapter 1 reply by A - Chapter 2 thoughts by B - Chapter 1 reply by B - Chapter 5 thoughts by B - Chapter 1 thoughts by C …and so on, making it harder and harder for later people with different reading schedules to engage with already existing thoughts/comment chains. All of that seems completely avoidable by just making a few threads. Meanwhile, the only two disavantages I see in a thread-chapter-based model: - It’s going to be a bit spammy for a moment. I’m not sure if that’s even a problem, but I can mitigate it by e.g. posting only a few threads at a time and staggering it a bit. - Threads might be a bit bare because we don’t have _that_ many readers, but I don’t see how that’s a problem either. ---

Yeah, I love this idea! It will definitely be more motivating as I read through the book to know that once I’m done with X chapter I can read the entire thread, rather than having to search through a single thread for things related to that chapter. ---

It’ll make things a bit harder for me in the beginning, because I’m already three chapters into the book and slowly forgetting what happened in which chapter, so for some things, I’m not sure which thread to comment on to avoid giving people spoilers 😅. But I’ll manage. ---

How would you’ve spoiler-warned for it if it’s just this one thread? Something like “Chapter 1-3 thoughts”? If so, just post it in the chapter 3 thread. ---

Sure thing. So, does the club have an official start date yet? I’ve put my reading on hold because I didn’t want to read too far ahead, but it’s kind of painful, because those first couple of chapters were crazy addictive and the other things I am or should be reading are all kind of boring in comparison. ---

I would definitely encourage you to read at your own pace! Speaking from experience with other unscheduled clubs, it can be really fun watching other people read something that you read a while ago, so speeding ahead doesn’t mean you won’t be able to enjoy the club! ---

I finished volume 2 and I finally got to watch episodes 4 to 8⅓. Totally worth it - the book is perfectly paced, and the anime cuts too much but it’s a delight watching all the characters in motion!

Like I mentioned above - this is an unscheduled club. You can start at any time, and read as quickly or slowly as you want to. To make it easy to talk about the content even though we aren’t read… (Also, read volume 2 already, @MaraVos, @prath - it’s great 😛 ) ---

Thanks for the new thread! I haven’t started Vol 3 yet, because I unexpectedly had too much real life during the holiday period, but this might just kick me into action. ---

I hope it was the good kind of “too much real life” 🙂 > [@Boodil](#): > > this might just kick me into action. If you need more: I’m enjoying this volume even more than the last one so far. So much so that I’m flying through it. 8 days in and I’m at 35% - that’s _incredibly_ fast for a L30 for me.
