So there is some interest, but also some people who are too busy and some people who voted no, so let’s leave it be and wait for the next official IBC vote to see if it gets chosen there. ---

I will join you for the next book 🙂 this is my first time in a book club, I took a look at the book and it looks like the right challenge for me. I passed N3 last July and restarted wanikani by the end of December (last try was 3 years ago and I made it to level 14ish). Really looking forward to it! ---

Traditionally we have been trying to help the book club participants judge the books’ difficulty levels by running a poll for each nomination. This poll has the disadvantages that the number of participants is very small (and varies from book to book), that the answers are highly subjective and that people’s judgments will change over time so that it’s somewhat useful, but not as much as I’d like it to be. (Plus, it takes me some time before each book selection poll to update the results.) Additionally, we now have the gradings for each book over at [Natively](https://learnnatively.com/) which are established by a much wider user base and therefore feel more reliable and neutral than our polls. (Granted, they are not 100% perfect either, but the more people grade books, the better they’ll get eventually.) The Beginner Book Club has already dropped their polls and switched over to Natively levels, the Absolute Beginner Book Club seems to be in the process of doing the same, and so I was wondering whether we should do the same for the Intermediate Club? _Poll ([view on site](https://community.wanikani.com/t/intermediate-japanese-book-club-now-reading-%E4%BA%BA%E8%B3%AA%E3%81%AE%E6%9C%97%E8%AA%AD%E4%BC%9A-next-%E3%81%99%E3%81%9A%E3%82%81%E3%81%AE%E6%88%B8%E7%B7%A0%E3%82%8A/18908/4433))_ ---

I think you need to go to the book in question, press the “Have feedback?” button and tell them to add the WK bookclub marker plus any links you provide. They should add this within a day or something. ---

We have 7 open slots, so let’s see what you’d like to propose! Please make sure to use the proposals template in the OP and to stick to the suggested page count of at most 300-350 pages. 👍 I’m planning to set up the new poll on Wednesday (May 15th) so please nominate before that date. ---

The world setup is decently interesting, sort of post-post-apocalyptic, and has some good mysteries to explore ### Pros and Cons for the Book Club #### Pros - Interesting world. - Mysterious backstory to get into #### Cons - Slightly on the shorter side (280 pages, but like 15 of them are character previews) - Can stray a bit harem-y at times ## Pictures > **First Three Pages of Chapter One** > > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/5/1/6/516a4d1cece6fd82826efae42133768ad2ff10e2.jpeg) > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/3/c/e/3ceece3449b7b6c9cf5f6ccf608c1e9c06973dd0.jpeg) > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/f/b/8/fb8816301de170e734df65dfe89aadfadf27b0c5.jpeg) > **Additional Pages** > > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/e/4/8/e483e375509d9903f1e5513db3419002cc783ab8.jpeg) > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/a/0/1/a01f7adc51aeb58d3918d34a288b214c91b8f63e.jpeg) > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/1/4/4/14412a6d3a0b8815fb1498f0f4393954df26de06.jpeg) Also note that Crunchyroll has episode 1 of the anime adaptation for free on YouTube (though I’m sure region locking is a disaster as always). **Don’t start at 0:00** - the anime starts at the end and the LN does not. But start at [4:10 to 6:30](https://youtu.be/yIsy3NiZo8Q?t=251) for a nice special epsiode 1 opening of the world. ---

> [@Domjcw](#): > > we aren’t going to finish セーラー服 until probably mid July Oh ok 😅 thanks for the heads up! I looked at the current schedule and thought that it’s about time - but if you‘re still reading then that’s totally fine with me 👍 I usually try to get the poll up about 6 weeks before the start of the next book (there’s usually a 1-week break between books). So it should be fine to run the poll in early June in this case. 👍 Still, the call for proposals is valid! If you want to get your favorite book onto the list, now is a very good time! 😊 [Previous page](https://community.wanikani.com/t/intermediate-japanese-book-club-now-reading-%E4%BA%BA%E8%B3%AA%E3%81%AE%E6%9C%97%E8%AA%AD%E4%BC%9A-next-%E3%81%99%E3%81%9A%E3%82%81%E3%81%AE%E6%88%B8%E7%B7%A0%E3%82%8A/18908.md?page=220) [Next page](https://community.wanikani.com/t/intermediate-japanese-book-club-now-reading-%E4%BA%BA%E8%B3%AA%E3%81%AE%E6%9C%97%E8%AA%AD%E4%BC%9A-next-%E3%81%99%E3%81%9A%E3%82%81%E3%81%AE%E6%88%B8%E7%B7%A0%E3%82%8A/18908.md?page=222)
