Discussion Guidelines
Everybody should feel free to post and ask questionsāitās what makes book clubs fun! But please do not post until you are familiar with Spoiler Courtesy!
Spoiler Courtesy
Please follow these rules to avoid inadvertent ććæćć¬. If youāre unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.
Any potential spoiler for the current weekās 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.
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 donāt intend to read soon).
Any information from later in the book than the current weekās reading (including trigger warnings that havenāt 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 āHide Detailsā or āBlur Spoilerā options. The text which says āThis text will be hiddenā should be replaced with what you are wishing to write. In the case of āHide Detailsā, the section in the brackets that is labelled āSummaryā can be replaced with whatever you like also (i.e, [details=āChapter 1, Pg. 1ā]).
Hide Details results in the dropdown box like below:
Example
This is an example of the āHide Detailsā option.
The āBlur Spoilerā 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 hasnāt 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 āin this topicā. This will show you all posts within the current thread which has that string of text.
Be sure to join the conversation! Itās fun, and itās what keeps these book clubs lively! Thereās no such thing as a stupid question! We are all learning here, and if the question has crossed your mind, thereās a very good chance it has crossed somebody elseās also! Asking and answering questions is a great learning opportunity for everyone involved, so never hesitate to do so!
If necessary, include an explanation of any discrepancies in the Ebook page numbers from physical page numbers. If there is an easy shortcut for some ebook versions to relate back to physical page numbers, it would be worth it to include it as a third bullet here, or if you want to use chapter page numbers instead of volume page numbers, as is the case with some manga. For example:
Example
For the Kindle version of this manga, the page numbers and the location number are always 3 apart. If you subtract 3 from the location, this will give you the accurate page number!
OR
Please use the chapter page numbers, instead of the volume page numbers. These are located in between the panels!

Donāt forget to set this thread to Watching in order to stay abreast of discussion!
Itās really funny how they took longer to set up the murder case than to solve it, I guess thatās what happens when you have a super spy and a telepath in the same team hahaha
Ohh damn, I didnāt realize I was one week ahead hahaha, I guess I read one extra chapter at some point and didnāt notice. Iām glad I didnāt say anything too spoilery, that comment was on this chapter.
Henderson-sensei was pretty much the last character I was expecting to get a background story from, but itās really fun! Looking forward to the continuation in next chapter.
Iām still reading the book but I havenāt reached this part yet
Iām reading this book after the club has finished

Note this ends the current volume.
I did discuss reading the light novel in this gap, but Iāll be away in Nepal for the next fortnight, so Iāll look into this when I get back. Feel free to post regarding interest though.
I didnāt expect the Henderson sensei backstory, but it makes sense to also use it to explain how the war affected the previous generation. Seems like a lot of missed opportunities with Masa and Him, so sad yo
On the light novel, I am considering it but havenāt read any yet, where do you guys get them from?
If you check the natively page for the LN, thereās a list of sites to get the book from:
Next to each site thereās a (i) icon which explains some pros/cons of each site (e.g., Amazon.jp requires providing a japanese address and sometimes reject foreign credit cards, etc)
