Japanese Language Book Clubs

That probably doesn’t come as a surprise considering I nominated this book, but - yeah, me too!

I’m looking forward to see what Mitokuma does next. I also really liked Ookami no Kawa wo Kabutta Hitsujihime (although I have yet to read the doujin spin-offs). Ningen ni Koisuru Shinigami-chan wasn’t really for me, sadly - far too episodic.

Yeah, I agree. I think the premise of 死神ちゃん is great, but I prefer things with a full story to episodic stuff. Plus there’s no ケモミミ😺

I am trying to catch up, made it to page 28 and hopefully will catch up until next week… However, thanks for all the discussions, reading through it really helps understanding.
