## Discussion Guidelines

> **Spoiler Courtesy**
>
> If you’re unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.
> 
> 1. Any potential spoiler for this volume need only be covered by a spoiler tag. Predictions and conjecture still fall into this category. It helps to include a label of what chapter / page you’re on.
> 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.
> 3. Any information from later volumes, anime and film 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**
>
> - When asking for help, please **mention the page number** , 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!

> 
> Ahhh Sakuragii!! 😭 I think that’s a lot of character development as well, that he’s so beat up about it for the sake of Akagi :')) It’s not just for himself, he’s so upset because it was Akagi’s dream. I think that’s brought the two of them pretty close!!
