So that means I can fire away, right? 
おおかみこどもの雨と雪
Light novel, slice-of-life
Summary
It’s about a young student who falls in love with a werewolf (he’s really nice though) - they have two children (called 雨 and 雪) together and the story is basically about the children growing up. Which is slightly more exciting than raising “normal” human children…
Availability

Personal Opinion
Pros and Cons for the Book Club
Pros
- I’ve watched the anime some time ago, and while I did not really understand much back then, I recognized quite a number of the words. To find out more about the difficulty level, I just read the first two pages, and I’d say they were definitely simpler (grammar-wise) than 時をかける少女. Of course that might be different later on (e.g. I know from the anime that there is some decent keigo communication going on at some point), but in general I expect the book to be quite accessible to many.
- The book is 2nd place in the FloFlo wishlist, so maybe the vocab list will be available there at some point…
Cons
- I don’t know if the topic is appealing to everybody; it is basically a story about how two children grow up and find their place in the world. There are some interesting twists and difficulties in general and due to the fact that they are wolf children, of course, but it’s not like the action-packed superhero manga or something.
Pictures
These are screenshots from the ebook (the edition with full furigana). I guess the pages of the physical book are much smaller.
