You might be in 3 post jail on this one, so breaking you out for the future.
I also updated the title!

Surprisingly, when I tried starting a fourth post, I didn’t see any disclaimer. I didn’t try posting it, though.
It’s good to have the Get Out of Jail Free card, just in case =D
It’s almost time to start with volume 11!
Can’t believe we are already that far in the series?! I think it’s the longest series I’ve read up to now in japanese.
Volume 11’s thread is now live:
You wouldn’t know it from the thread title, but we’re up to volume 13!
Oops. I missed the title for an entire volume.
That’s all right. I left the volume 9 cover image in the first post until now.
We are the best organizers.
The word “organizer” in this context has always been metaphorical, no?
It’s time to have that conversation.
We’re down to one volume left that’s out.
The next volume should come out in about a month.
If we read one chapter per week, we’ll read at the same pace that manga chapters are released. That means the next volume would always be released about one month after we start a volume.
If we read two chapters per week, for the next two volumes, we’ll run out of material and have to wait for more.
(I made these polls multiple choice in case you want to signal, “I’m fine with any of these options”.)
What pace would you like to see for volume 14?

If we stick to two chapters per week for volume 14, how should we handle volume 15?

Finally, we must factor in shipping time for anyone reading physical volumes. It’s easy to buy volumes in advance when we’re not up to the last volume yet, but once we’re hitting new volumes, it’s a bit more difficult logistically and cost-wise to have the newest volume in time.
Are you reading future volumes physical or digital?

Note to future self: Don’t make multiple select polls anonymous. (I forgot that they default to anonymous.)
That said, it looks like we’ll continue at two per week for now, then as we near the end of volume 14 I’ll re-poll to see how everyone’s feeling.
Psst, the main post still says we are currently reading Volume 13.

Volume 15 poll time!
Start Date
Pacing
The manga is a weekly series, meaning if we read one chapter per week, the next volume should be released around the time we finish.
Or we can continue with two chapters per week and wait a couple of months without reading until the next volume releases.
What pacing should we read volume 15?
I may still be enjoying the physical manga for this series but it is my most leisurely, atm. Only periodically catching up to the club, anyway.
The notion of reading a chapter a week is appealing. Reading along on the same timetable as a current serialized manga sounds like something I would enjoy. Still, I’m just typically so far behind on this one it doesn’t really matter.
Just one more day and the (slow) race to chapter 200 begins!
Edit: @MrGeneric, any chance of a thread title update to volume 15?
Done! Thanks for the reminder!
Don’t forget to update the volume image as well. psst, @ChristopherFritz
For anybody else here who uses Natively to track their reading, and in case you also didn’t request it be added and got notified about it by Brandon, Volume 15 is now added to the site.
Looking to branch out to other series by this mangaka?
There are some volumes free through 8/22 (then the freebies go away):
