Hehe, I got mine too when it was free! That was quite a while back, was it? A year, says my bookwalker bookshelf :face_with_monocle:

Can’t find the invoice any more, but I’m pretty sure it was also free at that time.

I wish they would make physical manga free too

I mean while living in japan they were basically free. Go into book off and buy them for 100Yen a pop and when you read them just return em and get 70Yen back… crazy system they got going there.
I miss my Book offs so much :frowning_face:
Importing is crazy expensive compared to that so I at least try to save with some digital stuff when I’m not certain i will enjoy it 100%. First manga volume is a perfect example. Can still buy it if I’m crazy in love with it afterwards.

If anyone from the U.S. is joining and looking to buy a physical copy, Kinokuniya have reopened for pick-up across the country.

Keep meaning to give this a read, but nothing’s pushed me over the edge.

I might join in. I think last time I glanced at it, I was kind of put off by how long the series was (like more than nine volumes?) for what felt like a limited premise. Even if I’m not in love with it, though, that’s a pretty reasonable pace, so I guess I could just read it for the book club in the background.

It’s currently 18 volumes and still going (last volume was released in May). :sweat_smile:

No idea for long this stays interesting, but I’ve read the first two chapters and thought they were quite funny. After that I’d decide on a case-by-case basis anyways.

Thanks! I guess I can always at least read the first volume and jump off! I need to get more used to the idea of browsing manga and just finding value in having experienced a series/author, rather than making everything a commitment.

Thank you! That’s what I had suspected, good to get a confirmation on it :slight_smile:

Good luck to the participants; I have the first volume, but it would be far to laborious for me without furigana right now. When I stop needing to look up 95% of kanji in manga I’ll be excited to come back to the archives of this club as I read it. :smiley:
