What about this reading speed poll for weeks 3+?

:+1: I thought we could give it 48 hours - kind of tight cos I want people to have read enough to know how fast they want to go.

Anyway, onwards…

How fast do you want to read the rest of the volume?

  • Continue at one chapter per week
  • Read two chapters per week
  • I don’t mind

One chapter a week is more inclusive, so that’s what I am voting for. It’s not that many weeks anyway

I’ve voted 2 chapters, but of course I’m fine with slower schedule too.

Well this looks fairly conclusive :grin:

Looks like we’ll be continuing with a pace of one chapter per week. I’ll update all the things this weekend.

Usually at this point we start asking whether anyone wants to carry on reading the next volume. I had a look for it on Book Walker and… it doesn’t exist yet!

According to Wikipedia this manga is serialised in the magazine Comic Cune, starting Jan 2019, with the compilation volume we are reading published in Feb 2020.

Looking on Book Walker, chapter 19 was published in the November edition of Comic Cune (there is no chapter in the December edition). So hopefully not too long a wait for volume 2!

Week / Chapter 8

@Micki - yes, I think Marcus discovered it thanks to all the promotion around its release. Definitely a conversation we’ll have to return to, for once :open_mouth: and if we want to keep going after that it’s always going to be a long wait between volumes! I reckon it might be a good few months before volume 2 comes out even, if chapter 20 won’t be published until January at the earliest.

(Posting a bit early this week cos my evening will be busy)

Penultimate week! :open_mouth: genuinely can’t believe we’re at this point already.

Week / Chapter 10

Last week!!!

It’s worth noting that this week is substantially longer than any of the previous chapters, so pace yourself :wink:

I’ll post some end-of-book polls in the chapter 10 thread at the end of the week :ok_hand:

Nice!

I reckon we’d want to give a fair amount of time for shipping to come through, even if we were keen to read it as a club as soon as possible. Maybe early March?

Volume 2 ??!

  • I would like to read this with the book club
  • I would not!
