I think we could just have a quick vote between the two (with only one option selectable) if they are still tied at the end. Otherwise, people might feel bad about being a deciding factor or about creating a tie again (if they come late).

I wonder if I should post a link to the vote in the ABBC Ruri Dragon thread and/or the weekly thread.
On one hand, it’s nice for people who want to “level up” after their first ABBC, and I don’t think all of them are checking the ABBC/BBC home threads. (At least I know I didn’t back when I was in my first book clubs).
On the other hand, it might be spammy since it’s already in the ABBC home thread, and I almost feel like I’m tampering with the vote by posting there since my Rojica and Rakkasei nomination feels a bit closer to Ruri Dragon than to Kiyo in Kyoto. Although maybe I’m just misjudging that.
And I’m just realizing that the last week of Ruri Dragon overlaps with the first week of this new BBC, which is not ideal either.
Am I worrying too much? Does anybody have any opinions on this?

That seems like a much better idea! Thanks, I was feeling kind of weird about it.

It’s been a minute since I was in one of these - if I want to start a mini Blue Box scheduled bookclub should I wait until the current beginner book is finished and the next one begins? I’d imagine if there isn’t much overlap in people interested in BB vs the current top two nominations then the timing doesn’t matter as much.
Also a little poll to see if people would be interested in a Blue Box book club (nomination).
- I’ll join any time
- I’ll join after the current book (Komi) is finished
- I’ll join if I don’t like the next beginner BC book
- I’m not interested

With that the poll is done and we officially have a winner: Rojica and Rakkasei
Thanks to all the people that advertized the poll, brought forward nominations and of course voted! With 64 participants this poll had a good deal more participation than last polls!
We will most likely start reading on May 06th so if you want to import the physical version of the manga you have some time. Would you be interested in hosting the club @TobiasW
This time none of the nominations will be removed from the list for lack of interest.
I will create the poll about, if we should use english and or native titles, in the coming days.
Could one of the Regulars change the title back to Beginner Japanese Book Club // Now Reading: 古見さんは、コミュ症です。 Thanks!

As promised before, I will be starting a poll today about the use of native and/or english titles in: nominations, polls, lists etc.
What title format do you prefer?
- Native Japanese e.g. アオのハコ
- English title (when available) e.g. Blue Box
- Native Japanese title with English title following in brackets e.g. アオのハコ (Blue Box)

One of the options is basically the taco girl saying “why not both?”, so it makes sense

Because 100% of the 33 participants agreed on the “Why don’t we have both” approach I have closed the poll early and implemented the change in the nominations in the main post.
