I’m keeping on eye on those poll results to see if we’ll want to convert to “one thread for the rest of the series” after this volume.

[mitrac]

Yeah, independent of that I was going to let you know I’m waving a white flag. I’m not going to be able to keep up with the club! I thought I would have finished volume 1 and caught up by now, but that is not happening

[ChristopherFritz]

I know the feeling.

I’ll never be “caught up” on these two, for example:

[jablekanji]

Does look like it may just be the three of us. I’m enjoying it but not as much as I’d hoped, so not too concerned if we decide to consolidate to a single thread

[Belthazar]

I’m watching from the shadows, as I typically do with spinoff clubs of series I’ve been enjoying in English, but I don’t really have the time to read it in Japanese week-to-week.

[Doumori]

I think I’m also enjoying it less than the first volume, but I’ve caught up! (for now and it’s not that I comment much But I kinda used to one thread per volume )

Ch. 13

And for a moment I thought we’d see a Hakumei with モヒカン!
Also their feet keep bothering me. How do they keep balance?! I wonder if mangaka just don’t like to draw feet…

[fyrember]

I actually hadn’t even realized that, they just have stumps, so weird

[mitrac]

stumps

@Doumori

Also their feet keep bothering me. How do they keep balance?!

It also got me from halfway into Volume 1 when I noticed I couldn’t even process it / believe it until I saw it a few times. Some people have an aversion to feet… that’s my only plausible explanation.

[ChristopherFritz]

It was volume 2’s cover for me:

[jablekanji]

Well, I think that marks my jumping off point! I enjoyed the little glimpse into the lives of these two, but there weren’t enough gripping chapters to really keep me engaged enough to want to buy volume 3. Thanks so much @ChristopherFritz for running this wonderful club!

[mitrac]

yes, thanks @ChristopherFritz ! I’ll be catching up on this series later when my kanji makes it a lot less work and I can enjoy it in a slice of life way and not as an exercise in ‘what is that kanji’
