There’s seventeen Kinokuniya branches in the US, you’re not near any of those?
Nope, not even a little. ![]()
The locations are basically New York City, major west coast city, or Texas for some reason. I think that accounts for all but a few of the locations. And I get New York and the west coast (since there are larger Japanese populations there), but why are there four locations in Texas of all places?! It’s so strange!
I wonder if it’s related to the reason half the anime dubbing industry is texas-based (Crunchy, Sentai etc are based out of there for some reason or the other). Four is a bit excessive though.
Ah, phew! Cdjapan is listing it now. It’s on its way!
Oh I just spotted this thread, I didn’t know volume 3 was out! I’ll get it on Bookwalker though, I won’t bother looking for a physical copy. The scans of the first 2 volumes were really good too (for a change) so it doesn’t bother me.
So, about volume three…
I’m a bit less swamped on bookclubs right now (only 15 lol), so I’m up to start volume 3 whenever!
I’m not sure I’m planning to read along but happy to put up a thread. When would people like to start?
- 19 April
- 26 April
- 3 May
- Later…
Golden week starts 29 April and I’m guessing this might be available with a coin back offer on Book Walker at that point.
Assuming the same reading pace as before?
- Yes fine
- No (see comment)
Ok so a clear vote to start this weekend! I’ll get a thread up.
And as if perfectly timed volume 3 is now part of a promotion on Book Walker at 60% coin back - no minimum spend required so you can buy it for 1250 yen outside Japan and get 750 yen back in coins.
EDIT: Volume 3 thread is up:
So, I was putting the obi back on my volume 3 now that we’ve finished reading it, and I happened to notice that it says アニメ化決定 in large friendly letters. Anyone hear any news about that? ![]()
P.S. @Micki The “home thread” link and the “volume 2” link in the volume 3 thread OP are the same link.
Wasn’t that how the mangaka wanted it?
If so… Then the mangaka robbed their own story blind
Looks like volume 4 is being released on 19th Feb. I’m not planning to read this one so perhaps someone else might want to run the reading thread.
Is that the Sydney Kinokuniya? Best bookstore in all of Australia!
Is there anyone else planning to read volume 4? I am, so if no one else is wanting to I could look to run it. If no other readers will read by myself.
