It looks like Blue Box has been historically in the middle voting range since it was nominated so I don’t know if it’ll be picked any time soon, but if anyone ever wants to start a mini book club for the series I’d be interested!
By the way, why “at the latest”? I don’t think there’s any rush, so leaving it open for a full week to also allow people to vote who don’t check the forums regularly would be fine.
That is wording that was in the previous posts so I kept it. I usually let the poll run until the end anyways so I will get rid of the “at the latest” phrasing. Thanks for pointing it out.
As it was not in the Natively database before I put in a request to add “Kiyo in Kyoto” and it was just added:
Wouldn’t it make more sense to use the Japanese title in a Japanese reading club?
Otherwise, here are the others you can change so everyone loses:
Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu (English title, apparently)
Goodbye, Eri
You even used the JP title in the voting for this.
Not trying to be that guy, and I know the club has been run by a lot of different people, but I think this is important. Again, I’m not even in the clubs lately, so it’s something for y’all to discuss.
As everyone is buying the Japanese book, I agree. I think the English title is still useful though for nomination posts as people may not know words in the title.
Alternatively we can be completely unfair and put all the titles in Amharic:
Before I took over the club the nominations were all in english as far as I could tell. I’m not sure if that was a conscious decision or if it was just something that happened, but as long as there was an official english translation I would try to use that based on the precedence set. As with your specific examples some of them I did indeed just miss.
I honestly could not care less about the convention. If a majority of this club wants to keep the japanese titles we can do that. I would suggest to hold a poll after we have finished the current one.
With “Kiyo in Kyoto” and Rojica and Rakkasei perfectly tied, is anyone else thinking of changing their vote to express their preference between the two?
