So from what I’ve gathered from people who’ve replied so far is that the best time is on Saturdays. If we have it at 10am PST, that would be 12pm CST and 8pm MEST @caraage I’m not sure how early you wake up but if we have it after 2pm, it would be after midnight @sakuchu’s time.
I’m personally an early riser so even an earlier time is okay with me.
10am is no problem for me!
Sounds good to me. 
Reading japanese regularly after midnight doesn’t sound fun right now. 
Can we get a link to the Discord? I am not in there yet. I think we still have time though.
Also, when do we typically start asking grammar questions. After the group reading?
The voice/chat channels haven’t been made yet. I’ll add the link to the first post when it is. Also, does 10am Saturday PST work for you?
We can start asking grammar questions once the week starts but only up to the chapter that we’re on. If you fall behind, you can ask questions for past chapters in the respective discussion thread. No need to wait for the read aloud session.
@valkow @KyokaJiro So far for the read-aloud session we have 10am Saturdays PST as the most optimal time. Is that time okay with you guys? We can still change it if need be.
That works for me. Would the first read aloud be on the 20th then?
Just letting you know, this link leads to the English version.
That probably won’t work for me, but my Saturdays are iffy in general. Whatever you all decide, I’ll drop in if/when I can. 
@NanaNanaNana if we end up deciding Saturdays then yes
@Belerith oh shoot, fixed. Thanks for letting me know.
@valkow what times on either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday is good for you then? We can try to find a different time.
I can reliably do Friday after 1pm, Saturday after 6pm, and Sunday after 1pm, all times PST. If a time works for everyone but me, I support you going with that time, but if it works out, that’d be cool too.
@Rain32 @valkow @NanaNanaNana @KyokaJiro @sakuchu @caraage
Alright peeps. I think it’d be easier to find a time for our read aloud session if we all just put our availabilities on a spreadsheet. Find the sheet with your username at the bottom and use the fill color tool to put your availability based on the key:
Also, put your timezone next to the daily schedule header. If you need help, lemme know~
Actually when I filled out the chart, I realised saturday evening PST would fit perfectly in my schedule. 
PST and CET are 9hours difference, after the time changes at the start of April to CEST it’s a 10 hours difference.
So for example saturday 9pm would be CEST 7am on sunday, I usually get up early so I guess I don’t mind joining on 7am.
I filled out my availability.
Edit: My time zone is CET/CEST but I filled my availability in according to the PST time.
Hi @beari san
I apologize for going AWOL this week. Work has been overwhelming this week.
I filled the excel. I prefer not to do it on Friday because of work.
I can move things around on weekends as needed except for a few unavoidable things. I won’t be attending on March 20 and 27 as I am moving to a new place and traveling to visit family. I should be mostly available for all other sessions.
I have yet to order books. Ordering them today, hopefully they arrive in time
Thanks for all your hard work Beari san 
How do the read alouds work? Do we alternate reading or does one person read the entire thing?
Oof our schedules do not match up at all x.x There’s no time where we can all make it so I’ll go by majority. I added a cumulative sheet on the spreadsheet that counts up how many people are available at each time slot. Any yellow/gray entries were added as a maybe. So far it looks like the best time is sometime between Saturday 8am-12pm PST. Still waiting on one person, though.
@KyokaJiro No problem! Real life comes first!
@NanaNanaNana Each character that appears in that week’s reading will be read by one person. If there’s more characters than people present, we’ll double up. You can ask any questions as we go along. Although I’ve never joined a read aloud session so I’m not 100% sure but I think this is what is usually done if someone can confirm 
That sounds fun! 8am or 10 am PST still works the best for me, but maybe we could always have two read along sessions at different times or alternate times every other week so everyone could get a chance to read who wants to.
Oops! Took my a while to fill out the sheet.
For read alouds I’ve done, usually each person picks a character. If there’s more characters than people present, we do as beari said. If there’s more people than characters present, than we usually split the characters that speak the most into smaller halves (so like, maybe splitting Yona into two parts) When read alouds start, I can make a character sign-up sheet like the one I use in the Haikyuu read-aloud
That sounds great! I think we have four characters in the first 30 pages but Yona could definitely be split up if more people join. Very excited for this.
@NanaNanaNana I think one session is okay for now. We can always adjust. Like if one week everyone’s busy at the usual time we can set a different time for that week only.
@caraage That’d be great! Thanks!
