You guys sure like ebooks, huh

It was free on bookwalker a while back

NicoleRauch · July 15, 2020, 7:56pm

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

Redglare · July 15, 2020, 8:49pm

Mine says end of March this year. Ditto and I probably got it at the same time

skymaiden · July 15, 2020, 8:52pm

How do I always miss these freebies

NicoleRauch · July 15, 2020, 8:54pm

I see! Mine is… older

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

Kumirei · July 15, 2020, 8:55pm

I wish they would make physical manga free too

downtimes · July 15, 2020, 9:01pm

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
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.

iansacks · July 16, 2020, 5:07am

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.

NicoleRauch · July 16, 2020, 5:38am

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

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.

iansacks · July 16, 2020, 5:40am

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.

Kumirei · July 27, 2020, 2:41pm

NicoleRauch · July 27, 2020, 2:44pm

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

Samraku · August 3, 2020, 9:50pm

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.

Naphthalene · August 3, 2020, 11:02pm

Picked the book on my last trip to book off… so… I guess I’ll be joining in the end.

NicoleRauch · August 14, 2020, 7:03pm

Aaaaaand we are go!

Belthazar · August 15, 2020, 2:39am

Oh, already? Just gotta work out where I’ve put my copy…

NicoleRauch · August 15, 2020, 5:13am

Time‘s flying, innit? Was surprised as well…
