I like school settings, they feel comfy, like an overused trope that’s grown on you

There are two versions of free-to-read Vol.1-3 in Bookwalker (inflating free-to-read volume count), one version is free until Nov 9, another one ends earlier.
If you add to cart and buy to be able to read in the app, be sure to add the correct version to cart (or buy both), so that the downloaded in Bookwalker reader is available longer.
My first impression too pushy, too 試し, and the male lead can make a little scary obsessive face. (female lead is a little too timid and tolerant.) Anyway, author could write a good and hearty conclusion.

This looks cute, I’m in 
(that was supposed to be a slam fist on table but there’s no table emoji and the fist ones don’t go the right way)
Also I think this was already discussed but I’ve lost it, is there a home thread for speedrun club?

Not yet, but it’s looking more and more like we’re gonna need to have one! The other interesting thing about that is I think it’s not uncommon for the same manga to be put on limited time free to read repeatedly, so if someone notices an old club is available again there could be a reunion/opportunity for newbies!
P.S. Love your attempt at emoji fist slamming table

Oh, interesting! Never seen that before…
My random first guess would have been 12am (aka, midnight)

I think that’s the idea, but since it’s 午後 before, then it can only be PM, thus 00 PM?

I’ve seen time~25:00 or 26:00 on signage in Japan before (to mean 1am or 2am the next night) but 午後0時 is also new to me

Finished vol 1 
Took me a bit longer than anticipated as I was majorly distracted by watching subtitled anime for the first time (usually watch subtitle free)
I’m glad it was all still relatively tame, I think I wouldn’t have stomached a high school setting shoujo getting more intense in certain ways. Though the parents meeting the boyfriend for the first time was setting me off a bit. As a parent of a high school girl I instantly went into protection mode judging the parents overly harsh Don’t let your girl go with the yandere guy! Check him thoroughly, first! Sometimes it’s hard to switch off parenting mode when reading high school settings

Vol 1 Thoughts
I finished the first volume! (And halfway through the second)
I had this manga on my list for a while to read, but I’m kind of glad I read everyone else’s thoughts who had already read some of the first volume! I knew it was a romance but I didn’t know anything beyond that, so it was really helpful to have closer expectations to what it was!
I’m in the camp that bro was a bit much in the first volume, but that’s just from a viewing him as if he were a real person, not from a story enjoying perspective haha. I could tell he’ll probably tone down and they’ll both grow as characters which is why I want to keep reading!
I also agree though that if the manga gets anymore intense later onnnn, I would not like that but I’m enjoying it for now! So if I keep enjoying I will keep reading 
Thanks to @MaraVos for setting these posts up!!!

Finally other peeps on here are reading Hananoi! It’s one of my favourite manga series in the genre.
I love how the characters grow here over time, and both of them really develop as people. Some parts are intense, some are really sweet.
Hope y’all are going to enjoy yourselves!

I am reluctant to admit, I think Speed Run needs its own home thread (..and I suppose I’m the one who should organize that… )

Is there any way to collaborate? Cause I would enjoy helping, I think. 
7 Likes
Collaboration would be very much appreciated.
I think over the two series we’ve run so far I think a home thread for the series is probably wanted, in addition to the threads for each volume.
I don’t think there will ever be anything like voting (except maybe polling to see if there’s any enthusiasm for a particular volume/series), but that means that anyone can just sorta start a club, which might mean a bit of poking in to make sure that the threads are set up and the like. I don’t really plan on making threads for anything I don’t actually plan to read
And then I guess we should coordinate with whoever does the master list of books clubs here and get a section set up for the SRC..
Sorry everyone for polluting the book threads.. this is a part of why I think the club wants its own home thread

When you make the home thread, then there’s always the option to ask the mods to make the first post a wiki. Then whoever starts a new Speed Club can also add the link themselves to the home post and Regulars can help with changing the title. Team effort!

I did finish the first volume! I’m also halfway through the second volume, but here are my thoughts so far ^^
第１話
“ほたるちゃんと一緒に食べるとおいしい” - what a sweetheart ;___;
無頓着 - 17313th most popular word in Japanese on JPDB, the second kanji was really confusing, I didn’t expect for it to be in a Level 19 graded manga on Natively 
I was confused what was this 片っぽ deal about until the second earring was found, ２つそろってる方がいいよ
特別な誰かを好きだと思う日が来るよ <333
That relationship is a super fast burn omg xddd
第２話
最終的には同じお墓に入れたら幸せかな - how nice, 花野井 is very practical xdddd
「どうしたのこんなに早く」
「か、彼女らしいことがしたくて」
awwww C:
手を繋いで歩きたい <3
第３話
一回キスしてみてもらってもいいでしょうか - how nice, ほたる is also in for the business xdddd
they’re made for each other xddd
第４話
The one with extending the hand to enjoy the time and then taking it away to mess with ほたる was nasty 
Glad 花野井 gave her back the hand afterwards, I’d probably slap him xddd
Though the present for the Christmas Eve almost made up for it xddd
KEBAB AND RUSSIAN FOOD :DDDD
I miss ice skating for real
Overall, probably not my genre, but I do find the manga to be adorable, 自転車屋 was probably more fun though ^^
I’ll try to continue and finish the remaining volumes in the time limit as well!
