Is there a thread for volume 5 already?
But yes, I guess volume 5 starts on December 12th, right?

Heya!

I’m back after a long time and I have some catching up to do. Right now I’m at the beginning of volume 3 and I also have to finish up 時をかける少女 . Looking forward to joining the discussions again!

Nope, I just wanted to know whether one was wanted! I would guess it will be then, yep.

I’m up for the next volume, too! I just wanted to read whatever chapter I thought we’d been reading this week. :laughing: After some initial confusion I remembered we finished volume 4 last week.

There’s always the continuing adventures of イヌイヌイヌ子さん, if you haven’t read those yet. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey everyone! I just created a website to hold word list for manga. I am trying to add a new wordlist everyday, and I just added volume one of Laid Back Camp. Now you can always get to the wordlist, from your phone, next time you try and read through. If anyone has any suggestions for the site, or wordlist they have and want added, please reach out at dwestlund531@gmail.com.

Just so’s you know, the “kanji” and “hiragana” columns are out of sync, starting at the fourth row, and getting worse and worse the further down you go, though for some reason it’s suddenly right again about a third of the way down the page.

Anyway, the point of using Google Sheets for the vocab list is that anyone can edit it.

I should really have followed up on this a bit earlier than the proposed start date, but I get the impression from the participation polls that a number of people are a bit behind while still planning to keep going? I know some people might not particularly be able / wanting to catch up right now anyway, but would some people appreciate a short break?

  • I’d like to start this weekend continuing the normal schedule!
  • I’d like to wait until the new year to give me some space to catch up
  • I’d like a more substantial break (say February start)
  • I probably won’t catch up to the club’s pace either way
  • I’m probably dropping this one

Just tagging a few who’ve voted in the polls recently (limit of 10 so I’ll miss a few who I think are likely to see it anyway :grin:): @ms12345 @Kappa420 @mintyfresh @catbus @jhol613 @valkow @Belerith @windupbird @DasOcean @DollyDaydream

I haven’t shown up in this thread for a veeeery long time, but I still plan on reading the whole series. Now I have a bit more time than in the last couple of months and I’ve read 5 chapters or so in the last two weeks, but I’m still in chapter 17 :sweat_smile:, so a little break would personally help me.

I’ve voted so in the poll, but I also don’t mind if people who have been following along want to start volume 5 immediately, I plan on catching up anyway :muscle:t2:

Where are those available? I couldn’t find them.

I’m going to abstain from this poll, though. :dizzy_face: I don’t have a starting time preference but I’m on board whenever we might continue.
Although the book can give me loads of troubles sometimes, I’ll keep reading it with the club! I might not be very active in the threads however.

I personally voted for the normal schedule, but I also don’t mind starting a bit later :+1:
If anything, we could meet at some point in the middle and maybe wait for another week or so until starting

I was about to go “Ugh, I’m reading ebook”, but they kindly included them!

I wouldn’t mind a break to try and catch up a bit but I’m happy with whatever the majority decide :slightly_smiling_face:

Okay, I think enough people have voted for a (short) break that we should wait until the new year. That gives people an extra three weeks’ break if we aim to start on the 2nd, and most people said they wouldn’t mind a short wait anyway :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you to everybody for contributing your thoughts!

I’m in the middle of volume 3 rn. I might not be able to catch up completely, but I agree to continuing in january.

I still haven’t bought volume 4 so that’s helpful :sweat_smile: I’ve been avoiding book off to be honest, mostly due to the situation in Tokyo… and it’s not getting better. I may buy the next volume online (or as an ebook even).
Thinking about it, I don’t even remember what was going at the end of volume 3. They were preparing for a christmas camp or new year camp or something? Also, [scooter girl] got stuck on a lot of road blocks. It’s been a while… I may need to re-read a bit.

What’s “the situation in Tokyo”? Same one we’ve been having since March?

In any case, there’s a Book Off in Fujinomiya, and three in Kofu, and you can visit Minobu while you’re there and send back photos. Hint, hint. :stuck_out_tongue:
