My first thought looking at the preview was that these seem to be the same 三ツ星カラーズ girls but grown into teenagers! They are even hanging out in the same area just south of Ueno Park!

I’m back from my trip (boo!) but that does mean I’m in a position to run a book club again (yay!) so maybe now’s the time to vote for Slow Loop. ![]()
Funny how a nomination can be fairly low in the last few polls and then jump to the top all of a sudden! Congratulations 骨ドラゴンのマナ娘 1 on winning the poll. And conveniently a Book Walker special event is on at present so I can get a good coin back when purchasing.
We have our winner! The next book will be 骨ドラゴンの愛娘! No books were eligible to be eliminated, so no books are eliminated.
@araigoshi , as the nominator, are you ok to run it?
Sure!
(Jokes aside, I’ll get the thread up during the week - it’s been a bit since I read it so I’ll need to glance over it again for schedule proposals. iirc, chapter 1 was the hardest)
Home thread and schedule poll are up for 骨ドラゴンのマナ娘
If you’re looking to step up into prose but you’re not ready for the IBC yet, the Children’s Novel Club is now voting!
I’ll be reading the shirokuma cafe today’s special series in this thread below (unofficial club) if anyone wants to join! Natively level 21!
The newest BBC book club has just started on Friday:
For future weekly reminders, please check the home thread
Heads up that the next poll starts Saturday! There’s still space for nominations so if you have any you want in for the next poll, now’s a good time

Can we get another Afternoon Yawning campaign post, @simboubou? Your posts about it are what put it firmly on my wishlist, and maybe another one could help it finally win ![]()
Same, I had no desire to read it, until they posted pictures and I fell in love with the soft art style. I’ve voted for it in every poll since.
Thank you for the ping!
I admit have been away from the book clubs. I read 4 volumes in two weeks during the summer holidays, and then failed to find the energy to continue.
I’ll make a new post this evening !
Do you wonder what’s written on the cloud paper ? (chapter 7)
Would you like to know the peculiar property of this “海色の傘” ? (chapter 10)
Are you intrigued by the story of this ice-cream selling polar bear ? (chapter 13)
Would you wear a sweater that does… this ? (chapter 27).
Then vote now for 午后のあくび !
After reading this post, mostly all I want to know is why your question marks are so far away from their respective questions. ![]()
Wanna learn how to fish, and be fed for the rest of your life? Then vote for Slow Loop. ![]()
Want to read Skip and Loafer?
Me too.
that’s all i got folks
Probably French ![]()
My question marks are precisely at the right distance.
I highly recommend it. I’m not voting this round, but I’m nearly caught up on the series and have really enjoyed it.
