So I realised I didn’t know what the SD stands for in the title of this manga. For those who are interested it refers to the type of art, drawing the characters short and chubby, and stands for “super deformed”. There’s a similar term called “Chibi”. Here’s the wikipedia article that gives a bit more information: > **[Chibi (slang)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibi_(slang))** > > Chibi (ちび or チビ) is a Japanese slang word describing something or someone short. It comes from the verb 禿びる (chibiru), which means 'to wear out and become shorter' (the tip of something).\[citation needed\] The term is widely used in Japan to describe a specific style of caricature where characters are drawn in an exaggerated way. Typically, these characters are small and chubby with stubby limbs and oversized heads. This style, also known as super deformed (shorthanded as S.D.), has since found ... ---

@Phryne There’s been an update to [Cannot edit post with poll - support - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cannot-edit-post-with-poll/172321). In short, they think this is a one-off issue that isn’t likely to reoccur, so they’re not going to issue a general fix to the problem. But, if you ask a WaniKani staff member to run “Rebuild HTML” from the post admin menu, it _may_ fix the problem and allow you to edit the post again. ---

Thanks to @seanblue for the information, though it looks like the ‘Rebuild HTML’ function can’t resolve the issue as well unfortunately. I’ve tried this with a separate thread by Radish as well as see if converting the post into a wiki would help, but to no avail. ---

Hi everyone! I am interested in reading along for Volume 2. I am an absolute beginner reader, and have been self-learning Japanese for about 8 months. I found your book club after realizing that I still was not up to speed for the beginner’s book club. I just purchased the first 2 volumes, and have been slowly reading through the first. I am not sure if I will be able to catch up by the time you start, but don’t wait on my account, I will get there eventually. I would just like to thank everyone for contributing to the vocab sheet as it has been very helpful when encountering words I do not know yet. I am looking forward to reading with you all! ---
