Friends, the week 1 thread is officially open!
I have tentatively listed the live reading in the post. Are you still planning to do that, and is that the proper time?

The time looks good to me (at least wrt the discussion so far) but please note that the read-aloud will only take place once the whole reading week is over, i.e. the read-aloud for the week starting on Feb 18th will start on Feb 26th. It’s confusing, I know, but everybody should get the time to read through the whole passage on their own before reading aloud, is the rationale behind it.

Oops! Thanks for pointing that out. It is now fixed.

I think you should put just the specific week’s date instead of recurring. Otherwise it’ll keep changing and won’t reflect the time the read aloud actually happened for that week. It means updating the date for each new weekly thread, which is a bit annoying, but I think it’s clearer that way.

Guess I wasn’t thinking of it as an historical document. Anyway, I made the change.

We got four yeses for the read aloud, but also seven maybes, so hopefully we’ll have decent attendance on average. If you are new to the Discord server, you can join here: Japanese Book Club. To get a fancy role color for participating in the read aloud, you can go to the #role-assign channel and enter ?rank 僕が愛したすべての君へ.

I’m thinking of giving this one a try, even though I might be stretching myself a bit thin between clubs and other reading, and even though the highest thing I ever read was L24. But L30 sounds as scary as it is enticing, and maybe it’s time to challenge myself again! The premise sounds interesting too.

Just bought the book now through Kindle! Very excited to get started on my first Wanikani book club.

Oh wow completely missed Week 1 start 
. Seems I luckily managed to catch up to the correct place today while commuting, though.

I won’t be able to make it for the read aloud this week due to work, but I should be able to make it for week 2. Hope you all have fun!

Realized I never replied to this. My answer is basically ‘probably but I can’t really make it around that time’, and I doubt the situation will change before the book is over.

I just went to buy the book and it seems the Kobo link leads to the Chinese version, the correct one should be this one (I don’t think I can edit the OP?)
