Both! The art style changes to become more detailed, but these pre-chapter slides are far more detailed than the main sections. It being a pre-chapter slide is also why it is not behind a spoiler tag; it doesn’t spoil anything more than the title already does.

Oh I see! I noticed that while in volume 1 there’s not such a thing, volume 2 already contains more detailed pre-chapter previews

Sounds suspiciously like I expect will be the case for Soredemo, as we reach the end of volume 7 this next week over there.

We are fast approaching the end of Volume 9!
Given that we have pretty much unanimously voted to roll into the following volumes each of the past times I’ve posted the polls, I was going to just make an executive decision and say we will do that until anybody wants to do otherwise. However, I just looked at the dates and realized that the start of Volume 10 would then fall during the holidays, so a poll it is!
Should we start Volume 10 right away?
- Yes
- No, I’ll be too busy over the holidays and would prefer a one-week delay
- I don’t mind either way

Volume 10 thread is (mostly) up! I’ll get everything corrected and updated in both this thread and the Volume 10 thread later this evening. I just wanted to get the discussion thread up for everyone as soon as possible!

I think I’m going to bow out of the club at this point. I’ll always appreciate the Takagi series for being my first book club, but at this point, I prefer stories where there is some progression.
Thanks to all the Takagi book club members, especially @MrGeneric for running the club! You all were essential to making my first book club experience an awesome one. See you all around in other book clubs!

I understand where you’re coming from, but it is a bit ironic you say this when our next volume starts out with Takagi and Nishikata’s daughter in middle school
