Yeah, Gorbit already explained it well; I did have intent to go through and edit it before the first week, but I dropped the ball on it a bit; I’ve gotten a little behind. I’m hoping to sneak in a bit of time right after work today before I go out, but I am not sure I’ll be able to. At a minimum, I’ll try and get the first 5 pages worth of vocab taken care of. I just have a particularly busy weekend ahead of me. ---

So, you’re right, the manga vocab is not on there yet. But Koohi has a feature that lets you import your own vocabulary and I used the vocab list from in this thread. It’s not immediately obvious that the option even exists and I had to dig around the forum before stumbling onto it, but it works great. I’d be happy to make a post showing how to do it. ---

Oh man…this is a bit like rocket sience for me 🫠 I was able to get Python and I could run the Mokuro install command. But this screenshot thing is giving me headaches! I eventually found out how to open the console on Chrome on my Macbook and then I try to follow the Readme description. But I guess Bookwalker won’t let me download that stuff I guess. Here is what my console looks like when I open it while Horimiya is open ![Bild 24.08.23 um 13.50](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/9/a/b/9ab7af221d77317cab3ebe957e4531347ee741f5.jpeg) Then the Readme says “Paste the Javascript code into the console, then press Enter.” I guess here I should copy and paste the https… but when I hit Enter nothing happens. ---

Not the https, that would be the link. The actual contents of the “simulator.js” file is what you need to copy and paste in. ---

Just managed to buy it digitally on Bookwalker. I had no idea that you could use a U.S. credit card on Japanese websites; in fact I used PayPal and it even showed me how much it was in USD. Bookwalker seems pretty alright for Japanese versions of manga, it’s really easy. I had to buy the volume in browser but I can read it on the IOS app, and the quality is serviceable. I mean, for $4.97 USD to get a volume, I’ll take the slightly low quality images. I’m excited to get into it! ---

On the vocab sheet can we please make the very light grayed out definitions slightly darker? I find it annoying and counter productive to even have it on the sheet at all if it’s barely readable. ---

Having a light gray color helps make it clear that it hasn’t been reviewed/updated by anyone, but that doesn’t mean it has to be _too_ light. I’ve darkened it for week one. Before I update it for all weeks, I want to ensure I didn’t pick a different bad choice. So, poll? **Which colors look comfortably readable for you on your device?** ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/b/8/1/b8127c9432998d9389c3710ee13c7506b446515a.png) _Poll ([view on site](https://community.wanikani.com/t/%E3%83%9B%E3%83%AA%E3%83%9F%E3%83%A4-%E3%83%BB-horimiya-absolute-beginner-book-club/62664/194))_ ---

> [@ChristopherFritz](#): > > Which colors look comfortably readable for you on your device? I mean, theoretically there is a standard for this. Apparently anything below dark grey 3 fails wcag aa contrast requirement. Maybe there’s a better option? Like using a background colour ---

Yeah, that was originally called “Hori-san to Miyamura-kun”. There is even an anime with the same name, to make the whole thing more confusing. ---

Aye, but the one based on the manga is called “Horimiya”, like the manga. Also, the one based on the webcomic was a six-episode OVA, rather than an actual series. ---

A webcomic, a manga, and (now) 3 anime series actually. But the anime I meant is also called Hori-san to Miyamura-kun, it’s also pretty well rated on mal. ---

The webcomic is kind of a mess to try to read (recently finished reading the first volume of it). There’s 10 volumes of the webcomic, and then like 16 volumes of a second series of the webcomic that’s afterstory stuff. Highly recommend the OVA adaptation of the webcomic, it is _super_ cute. (Although, doesn’t go very far) There’s [also a jdrama adaptation](https://mydramalist.com/681381-horimiya) too! There’s so many adaptations and retellings and reworkings of this story, you can really pick your poison 😆 ---
