IBC Primer Book Club :rice_ball: Finished Reading コンビニ人間 IBC = Intermediate Book Club [image] This club will read コンビニ人間 ( Natively link ) as a primer to join the IBC. This means it will be read slower than the two times it has been read before on this forum ( as part of the IBC , and the repeat club )…

I actually kind of love the acronym UBBC. :joy: (I like how it makes a nice set … ABBC > BBC > UBBC) And it’s kind of hilariously awkward.

It immediately makes me think of UBC (University of British Columbia), so that would be a fun bit of consistent confusion. :joy:

[image] Book9: I am definitely thinking of starting up/organizing an actual upper beginner/lower intermediate club Just curious, is this specifically for this “IBC but slower” version or for the broader idea that you originally mentioned? I ask because I have no interest in “IBC but slower” a…

This thread is for IBC but slower (and I only mean to do one book, maybe maybe two). The upper beginner / lower intermediate would be for the harder manga and any short enough books that possibly exist in the gap, but I expect it will be a mostly manga club.

[image] snowwater: It’s called あん in japanese. Just in case you didn’t notice: あん is currently #1 in the ongoing voting for the next IBC book.

Sorry if this was answered before but a quick search wouldn‘t show it I always used manga republic for the physical copies but obviously this won‘t do for novels… so where would/could I buy those? Any ideas/recommendations?

Of course, there is https://amazon.co.jp . Books are rather cheap, but the shipping costs are high if you only buy one book. If you would tell us your location somebody might suggest a physical bookshop nearby. For example kinokuniya has some stores in the world as this map shows: [image] W…

Oh… I’d rather if it didn’t have to be amazon jp :confused: but I don’t think there’s something nearby - I’m from Switzerland :see_no_evil: :sweat_smile: thanks anyways :slight_smile:

[image] 2000kanji: Of course, there is https://amazon.co.jp . Books are rather cheap, but the shipping costs are high if you only buy one book. The others I have used are cdjapan (English UI, rather smaller selection than Amazon) and Kinokuniya Japan (Japanese UI only, weird shipping price str…
