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! :eyes:
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.

That’s all right. I left the volume 9 cover image in the first post until now.

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?

  • Keep it at two chapters per week.
  • Drop it down to one chapter per week.

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

  • Keep it at two chapters per week, then have a wait for new volumes.
  • Drop to one chapter per week so there’s never a wait.
  • Start with two chapters per week, then drop down with precise timing so we finish just in time for a new volume to drop.

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. :wink:
