Bought it yesterday, got a text this morning that it arrives tomorrow O_o
Looking forward to reading it! <3

Aislin · January 12, 2021, 12:56pm

I didn’t know it is already ending! I always claim I prefer short, or at least finished series, and then always get invested in long, still ongoing things.
So I’m happy to hear it will be a break from this curse

Radish8 · January 12, 2021, 7:27pm

Wait, really? I can only read the first few pages on pixiv, so I’d specifically not bothered with it because more was available on BookWalker…!

Oooooooooooh, there’s a separate listing for the individual chapters. Is that not pretty weird? Why would they do that… Anyway, thanks for the nudge

Radish8 · February 19, 2021, 7:42pm

Week 1

Omgeeeeee here we go!

The most important rule of the book club is not to hesitate to post any questions you have, however small or however many. It’s not a book club without discussion

Please also set this thread to ‘watching’ to receive notifications when I post the weekly threads

Radish8 · February 26, 2021, 10:47pm

Week 2

Alright, wrapping up the first chapter. There’s a bit of a step up in terms of page count this week - がんばって！

Radish8 · March 5, 2021, 9:11pm

Week 3

First whole chapter in a week! It’s only a few pages more than last week though

Radish8 · March 12, 2021, 7:55pm

Week 4

Not quite so many pages this week, even though we’re tackling another whole chapter

Radish8 · March 19, 2021, 9:45pm

Week 5

Shortest chapter!

Radish8 · March 26, 2021, 9:18pm

Week 6

Penultimate chapter!

Radish8 · April 2, 2021, 7:28pm

Week 7

Last. Week.

Aislin · April 4, 2021, 12:12pm

I just wanted to say that if the off-shot club will happen, I can do the weekly posts.
I was thinking about one thread per volume and the same vocab sheet, similarly to シメジシミュレーション.

Radish8 · April 4, 2021, 9:18pm

Continue?

Thank you! I think the one thread per volume thing usually seems to work pretty well even if it starts out a little busier the later chapters usually get more sedate so if just feels silly posting a whole new thread.

Who’s interested? I always prefer comitting to a series when I know it has an end-point in sight, and this one is a very conservative five volumes!

I’d like to continue reading volume 2 with the club
I’m going to read volume 2 in my own time
I’m not planning to keep going with this series

Since there seems to be enough interest, I made the volume 2 thread:

不可解なぼくのすべてを・FukaBoku Vol.2 ♀♂

Aislin · April 6, 2021, 12:04pm

Aaand we already have a schedule, since 100% of people are ready to start anytime.
@radish8, could you add the volume 2 link to the main post?

Radish8 · May 17, 2021, 5:55pm

I liked your comment and then totally forgot to do it I AM SO SORRY

I’ve added it in just in time for the final week let me know if you’re planning to continue!

Shadowlauch · May 21, 2021, 2:57pm

So we’ll start volume 3 on the 29th right?

Aislin · May 21, 2021, 3:45pm

Yes, and

yes, I’ll do the next volume too.

Radish8 · May 21, 2021, 4:50pm

Nice! I will add the thread in once it’s ready

Shadowlauch · May 22, 2021, 8:56am

Volume 5 just popped up for preorder on bookwalker!
