Sorry for this week thread I was out all weekend. For the next book as mrahhal said it’s prob better to start volume 4 next. I don’t know what these short story are about though. Are they long? ---

Actually I’m not aware of any that can be read before volume 6. I do remember @Ditto20 maybe mentioning some? But there are many of those stories, they’re small and compact and usually target one of the side characters. They’re very nice and build the world more, but I wouldn’t worry about them from now.

There are some short story collections available that gather up several of the stories(first of those was released after vol 5), but since they’re not necessary for the main plot I’d be fine with just continuing onwards (I mean, I need to catch up first, but I think I should be able to do that soon) I actually already have the first of those collections, but I’d be fine with just reading it on my own… and then I can tell the rest of you if they’re good! ---

So I’m not sure if you mean what you mean, but this one you’re showing here is indeed talking about the rerun. But S2 **is** starting on April, in 3 months (but maybe you do know).

Have we talked about whether we want to keep the pace or increase the pace for the next volume already? It seems to be a couple pages longer than 3, too, though I can’t really tell how many since I only have the ebook. Does someone already have the paper version and can tell me how many pages that book has? I’m kind of curious to how much 2-300 of whatever kindle uses as a unit amounts to. ^^ ---

They’re almost exactly the same length. Volume 3 ends the epilogue at 320 pages, volume 4 at 322. ---

Thank you! 🙂 I wonder where the rest of all that comes from then. … Is the あとがき particularly long or sth? 🤔 In any case, that means we don’t need to increase the page count to keep the current pace at least. ---

> [@Belerith](#): > > Is the あとがき particularly long or sth? Oh, nope, also the same. Fun fact, author considers the first 2 arcs (volumes 1 to 3) the prologue of the story. Volume 4 starts arc 3 (which the anime ends on). Never thought I’d reach it in a relatively short time if not for the club. Also, from here on out, even those who watched the anime will see new things, because a lot had to be cut from arc 3 (which interestingly, the new rebroadcast of S1 that starts tomorrow will add some crucial stuff back -yes with new cuts- in prep for S2. I like how much love and care they’re giving the series, deserved). > **More details for those who want (safe)** > > Episodes 1-12 covered volumes 1-3 > Episodes 13-25 covered volumes 4-9.5 > So it’s obvious a lot had to be cut to reach the ending of the arc. Actually, they were so desperate not to sacrifice a lot that most of the times in the episodes the OP and the ED didn’t play to get the extra 3 minutes. > > Why am I still going? I dunno, but I know a lot of ReZero trivia 🤔 ---

I sure don’t mind more info, considering I went in mostly blind. ^^ Thanks for sharing~ I keep meaning to watch the anime too. 💦 Maybe I’ll have managed by the time we get to volume 9.5. At this pace that’ll be this year, too. 😮 Crazy. ---

In terms of speed, I am planning to scale back reading in 2020 to spend time on listening instead. (That may be difficult to guess based on the amount of book club and similar I am joining). So I don’t mind keeping the current pace, which feels fast enough while not taking a ridiculous amount of my time. It’s also fine to increase it, though. Then I’ll simply go for a “book club (including this one) only” reading approach for now. I have been unable to secure volume 4 so far, but I should be on time.
