I think it’d be fun to keep reading, but maybe we can see if people would be happy about reading two (or more) chapters a week from the start? I ended up reading ahead for this one, which meant I ended up not discussing the chapters as much.
Just finished up chapter 11! That was a cute ending there Red got really lucky… he absolutely could have just died lol. He’s lucky the villain was dumb enough to throw a water pokemon into the water to get rid of it.
It’s been fun joining you all, and it’s great being able to finish a volume this quickly, but I must admit at this pace I have to gloss over a lot. Hence being uncertain about an offshoot.
On the other hand, if it’s just the Kanto arc for now, that’s only two more volumes… and it would be nice to own and have read at least one arc of the manga.
So I’m open to it, especially if there’s enough other folks joining c:
The manga continues to be more brutal than anything else in the Pokemon series, Lt. Surge literally zapping Red to the brink of death before dropping him in the ocean…
Skimming some of the more difficult casual vocabulary to get caught up, but I really enjoyed the race! Seeing Red use his Pokemon to get around the circumstances was fun-- and I guess this would be the first official appearance of Snorlax’s Z move
