I’m behind schedule again 😭 Should be back on track soon. This week was crazy and then I suddenly ended up on a roadtrip for a friend’s surprise birthday party. Fortunately I’ve had some opportunity to read while on the subway and such but… ---

Couldn’t really guess this one, but at least I guessed where they were going (it was kinda obvious I guess). I wonder if each chapter will just bring a new mystery, or if we will reach an overarching one that will take a few chapters or even books to solve. _気になります_ ---

I do hope there’s a larger mystery at some point. I imagine they get to the mystery of the sister/club eventually but I have no idea if that will be in this book or the series as a whole. We will see… 🤔 ---

_That feeling when you know._ 👀 Not quite as good as wondering and discovering with everyome, but still pretty good. ---

Finally got to read this. That teacher telling them it wasn’t there wasn’t suspicious at all 👀 ---

Huh, so. I just finished reading this part. But I must say I somehow find this pretty boring, even when it’s supposed to be thrilling… But maybe this is just me, because I’m not so invested so I don’t dig too deep in trying to get to the correct meaning. I‘m reading this fairly quickly, I look up almost all of the words and try to make sense of the sentences, and usually they make sense in general. But maybe I still miss out? How do you others perceive the current section? Is it only me or is it the book? 😥 ---

Yeah it’s a bit boring, I think it’s not even supposed to be thrilling. But maybe that’s because of the very small pace for such books (normal school life, as opposed to fantasy or fiction), that can’t be helped either. But I did find going through it in bigger chunks better, since too little is happening at a time. ---

I think chapter four is where it picked up for me and became actually interesting. And yeah, definitely agree that it helps to read this book in bigger chunks/faster. 😅
