Discussion Guidelines

Spoiler Courtesy

Please follow these rules to avoid inadvertent ネタバレ. If you’re unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.

  1. Any potential spoiler for the current week’s reading need only be covered by a spoiler tag. Predictions and conjecture made by somebody who has not read ahead still falls into this category.
  2. Any potential spoilers for external sources need to be covered by a spoiler tag and include a label (outside of the spoiler tag) of what might be spoiled. These include but are not limited to: other book club picks, other books, games, movies, anime, etc. I recommend also tagging the severity of the spoiler (for example, I may still look at minor spoilers for something that I don’t intend to read soon).
  3. Any information from later in the book than the current week’s reading (including trigger warnings that haven’t yet manifested) needs to be hidden by spoiler tags and labeled as coming from later sections.
Instructions for Spoiler Tags

Click the cog above the text box and use either the “Hide Details” or “Blur Spoiler” options. The text which says “This text will be hidden” should be replaced with what you are wishing to write. In the case of “Hide Details”, the section in the brackets that is labelled “Summary” can be replaced with whatever you like also (i.e, [details=”Chapter 1, Pg. 1”]).

Hide Details results in the dropdown box like below:

Example

This is an example of the “Hide Details” option.

The “Blur Spoiler” option will simply blur the text it surrounds.

Posting Advice

Obs! Do note that the physical version seems to come with zero page numbers (yes, zero, I saw none while flipping through a good portion of the first volume). So alternative means of identifying page might be needed.

  • When asking for help, please mention the page number (if you can), and check before posting that your question hasn’t already been asked. As the threads get longer, it becomes more convenient to use the Search function, which is located in the upper right corner of the forum. It is the magnifying glass which is near your profile picture! The best way to search is usually to type part of the sentence you are confused about, and select “in this topic”. This will show you all posts within the current thread which has that string of text.

  • Be sure to join the conversation! It’s fun, and it’s what keeps these book clubs lively! There’s no such thing as a stupid question! We are all learning here, and if the question has crossed your mind, there’s a very good chance it has crossed somebody else’s also! Asking and answering questions is a great learning opportunity for everyone involved, so never hesitate to do so!

Poor Honey

Wanting to help out but being sent to eat cake instead lol

Also what a long author’s note. I thought it would be important but it mostly sounds like a psuedo apology for the title?? Please correct me if I’m wrong lol

Also feeling really hit by the somewhat dated face shape aesthetics.

I love Mori’s assist at the end of this section lol. Following the assignment to the letter but not the spirit lol

I guess it’s a mix of psuedo apology + explanation to why she chose the title?. I didn’t read it 100%… I feel like I can understand most of what is written, but at the same time that I have to use a lot of brainpower to decode the handwritten text, and I just feel so exhausted after a few sentences!

Right, thanks

I’ve finally reached the point where I can understand most twitter comics I see with handwritten Japanese but geez, I feel you, this mangaka’s is a pain.

I also finished this weeks section. I must say it went way better than last week. But it is still the most difficult manga I have ever read :joy:
I think it really helped that we slowed down and I didn not feel so rushed. (I know we still only have saturday and the whole week in front of us…but I never know when or if I’ll have time for a somewhat longer read :sweat_smile:)

And I did not have the patience to read the author’s note (yet?) :see_no_evil:

Unfortunately german netflix does not have the anime. So I will keep learning everything about the Ouran high school host club through the manga now :wink:

Cheat Mode for the Author's Note

It’s been a while since I read through several volumes of this series in English, so I don’t recall what the author’s notes tend to be like. Maybe this one will give an idea of what to expect from the notes, which may help decide whether to try deciphering future notes.

Finished this weeks section, It really did feel a bit easier than last week. Maybe because there were less explanatory sections? (I skipped the author’s note, though)

Also the twins are truly delightful :laughing:

I also found this week a bit easier, I believe in week 1 we also still had a bit of the introduction to the host club / getting into the more specialised vocabulary, which is why perhaps this week felt less hard (+ we had less pages as well, which helps)

This week was easier because Kyoya talked less
