Sorry I’m posting these polls so late in the week! I was out sick for a week so I’ve been trying to catch up in school/work, and this completely slipped my mind.

Volume 9 page + Week 1 polls are up!
It’s almost time for Volume 10! This will be the last volume of the club (until Volume 11 comes out). It’s wild to think we only started Volume 1 one year ago, and now we’re on the latest volume.
If anybody wants to take a break for the holidays, please feel free to say so! I added an “other” option to the poll in case anyone wants to start later than the usual “this week or next week” poll options
Finally, I’m so sorry for not being very active in the club lately other than posting polls. I’ve been having a lot of stressful things happening in my life lately, and I’ve been busy with working on finals, so I haven’t had much time for reading or really any Japanese studying. I hope to catch up asap though!
With all that out of the way, it’s POLLs time

I’m probably going to end up reading the volume all in one day again, and even if I do stick to the weekly readings it doesn’t take very long for me to read, so it doesn’t much matter to me when we start. I’m down for whatever everyone else decides on
We start Volume 10 today! And the schedule will go unchanged (i.e., no break in the middle)
So there is now one more volume for us to read since Volume 11 was released earlier this month!

I’m leaving the “other” in the when to start poll just because we were going to take a break after Volume 10 (since there were no more volumes), so if people think we should still take a longer break after Volume 10, we can.
I haven’t even ordered it yet (I’m planning on using it as an excuse to get more books, but which ones?? or do I be responsible and just get it by itself off Manga Republic???) so I dunno at this point when it might get here. Although it’s not as if I can’t easily catch up if I do end up starting late…
Update: Okay I’m getting it off Manga Republic, why in the hell is shipping so expensive on Amazon right now, it never used to be more than the books, no thank you. So yeah no idea yet when it’s expected to get here
Oh whoops, I didn’t even think about the time for a physical copy to arrive 
Maybe we should wait a few weeks then?
I think it depends how many other people put it off until now. If it’s just me, then I don’t mind catching up later. Although right now it looks like there’s one other person who says they might start late
Made a trip to my local (U.S.) Kinokuniya a couple weeks ago hoping they’d already have the new volume in stock but no suck luck. I should have inquired when they would come in and/or placed a hold. I found the J-J Dictionary section that day and the excitement of picking out my first physical J-J Jiten pretty much pitched all other thoughts.
Fortunately Kinokuniya is usually a comfortable 45 minute drive. I have to head out there soon for more tea anyway.
Sounds like I might still end up with the book before others but yeah, I’m still two weeks behind on volume 10.
Whenever we decide to start 11 I’ll do my best to be caught up by then.
How do y’all feel about starting end of February (like Feb 25) or beginning of March (March 4)? Would that give enough time for the new volume to arrive?
It’s still pre-shipment, so I dunno when it’ll get here. Should be before the end of February though
My copy got here today, so I’m ready to start when everyone else is
I finished volume ten and picked up volume 11 last week so I’m also ready whenever.
@enbyboiwonder @liveunderwater how does Saturday the 18th sound? (about a week)
Sounds good to me!
Works for me as well!
The Volume 11 page is up now! We start Feb 18th!
Volume 12 will be released 2023-07-06T15:00:00Z!! (All sources simply say July 7 2023, I believe this is supposed to be Japan time, if this is not accurate please let me know! In any case, it will be in about a month)
Where to buy:
The latest volume has been requested on LearnNatively and will be added shortly.

I was thinking we could start about month after the release of this volume on Saturday August 5 (2023-08-05T00:00:00Z). Does that work for those of you with physical copies? I could make a poll if we need to, but with so few members I’m wondering if a simple discussion is better.
@enbyboiwonder @liveunderwater I am tagging you two since you both read along with the last volume, hope that’s okay!
It’s been so long since I’ve done any club management stuff so I hope I’m not missing anything, I’m excited to get back into it 
Also, this is my first time preordering on Bookwalker and there’s no English language option on the preorder page (unlike the usual checkout which does have an English version) and there’s so much text 
I’m like, welp this is my reading practice for today
