Mostly it’s the fact that the more I read the manga, the more I’m convinced Tsukushi-sensei is loudly pretending to be a paedophile in order to cover up the fact that he’s actually a masochistic necrophiliac. The first chapter opens with a twelve-year-old girl getting strung up naked as a punishment, and it’s pretty much downhill from there.
Mind you, I still plan to read it to the end. I’m just not gonna admit to that in public. 
And the sexually loaded stuff involving children isn’t even the worst of it. by far.
You’re right that it’s well written, and I also plan to read it to the end, but hoo boy it’s messed up in a lot of ways. Definitely not forum book club material. The list of content warnings would be as long as the summary.
I once recommended Made in Abyss (after watching season 1; it’s a fantastic anime for all its completely unnecessary faults) to a new acquaintance who liked anime. She proceeded to google image search it right in front of my eyes to get an impression of the anime.
I don’t recommend Made in Abyss to people anymore. 
You know there’s something really wrong with the book when you find such a review of it 
Well yeah, that’s true. I’ve only watched the anime, it’s nice from the most part of the beginning and it starts to gradually become darker and crude as they go down in the abyss.
I can relate to that feeling now…
I’ve only watched S1 of the anime (where I think they left out some problematic stuff from the manga), and my impression was that he has a piss fetish, based on the number of times we see the MC wet herself for seemingly legit but suspiciously numerous medical reasons. So the necro stuff gets added on top of that later on in the story?
Anyway, it’s a shame this can’t be nominated. I want to finish the story somehow, and the rest of the anime isn’t properly available in my country.
I think you’re absolutely free to make your own informal book club for it.
Yeah, but then I’d need to run it and it would take time and stuff.
Running an informal club can be as much or as little work as you want it to be - anything from “let’s make a schedule together” to “alright, here’s the thread for the whole first volume, please tag spoilers, let’s go”.
And even going for maximum effort it’s honestly not that much work, especially if you’re reading along and are interested anyway.
Suddenly my “I wouldn’t nominate it, but I’d follow along with a club” series (Kunoichi Tsubaki) seems rather tame.
Maybe we’ve just got very different sensibilities, but that one seems rather tame regardless tbh. It’s cute girls doing cute things, in the style of Takagi-san and Ayumu
It’s a cute feel-good manga if I ever saw one 
All 8 volumes of ひとりぼっちの〇〇生活 are 50% off + points back if you plan to vote for it next round. 
Could a regular please update the thread title please to show we’re now reading The Promised Neverland?
EDIT - thanks Belthazar! 
I see we’re low on nominations, so:
Natively: Level 22
Full furigana: No
Mira, the main character, is a girl with a disease that causes darkness to seep from her body when she gets anxious. In order to cure her disease, she lives secluded deep in the forest with Rei, a kind-hearted doctor. By making jam from the stars that fall from the sky, trying to get up early to gain confidence, and cherishing each small daily detail, Mira gradually regains her former self.
However, one day, Rei’s friend, who is interested in Mira’s darkness disease, appears before the two of them, making Mira anxious…!
A healing story of an anxious patient and a kind-hearted doctor who face the wall of a disease that cannot be cured immediately.
Physical: Amazon JP, CD Japan.
Digital: Rakuten, BookWalker.
This has been the second prettiest art style I’ve seen so far, and it’s one of my favorite manga series. It’s a feel-good healing type story about the mc recovering from and learning to live with her chronic illness. I think her illness most closely resembles anxiety, but since it isn’t a real illness you can relate it to anything you want.
Even though it’s fantasy, it doesn’t have very much fantasy vocabulary. The story revolves around Mira’s recovery journey so the fantasy aspect isn’t very important. In volume one there’s a chapter about making jam from stardust, that’s the only fantasy vocab chapter iirc.
The cast isn’t very big: other than the two main characters, each volume features one or two more side characters, so it’s easy to keep all the characters straight. Mira and Rei also use easy to understand speech, there’s not a lot of slang or contractions. The only contractions are the common ones like てしまう → ちゃう, ておく → とく, and ている → てる. And there are only 8.5k characters in the first volume, as opposed to the usual 10-12k. This was almost the second manga series that I read in Japanese, and given how easy the language ended up being, it would have been a good choice.
Pros
Cons
Hey guys, I’m just wondering if chainsaw man was ever nominated? I checked the nomination lists, but maybe I missed it somewhere. I don’t really know much about the manga aside from the first volume (it’s free until 10/21 on bookwalker I believe), but it seems interesting and it’s level 24 on Natively.
It has not been nominated, probably for this reason:
Seemingly no one made a informal book club, or the like, so far. It’s probably ok to make a informal club without regard to making a nomination, but then participation would be slim.
I misremembered, but there was a someone reading thread, rather than really a discussion thread. (And that was the old thread title.)
I’d definitely be up for reading it - the anime was great!
I’d join a CSM club occasionally. I don’t usually reread or rewatch things, but you can’t argue with free.
I have a book I would like to nominate, but it isn’t on natively and I don’t think I can add it (It is free to read online and doesn’t seem to have an amazon page aside from private sellers)
I remember there being a discussion about natively level being mandatory, does that apply in this club too? I read the first couple of pages and the difficulty seemed appropriate.
… Otherwise I might just fill out the nomination template and see it as gathering interest for an informal book club
