Slight bump to remind everyone who hasn’t voted to try and do so this weekend! I will likely close the polls this upcoming Tuesday and plan off of the results that are in by then!

I know I picked a late starting date but don’t worry too much about me…taking a much needed long awaited vacation. So if you start while I’m gone I can either read while camping (but no internet to update the vocab)…or catch up when I get back. No worries either way…
and I know it’s a long way off…but one item I preordered from cdjapan is finally released!
now the rest of the books should arrive next week 
cdjapan is so nice to hold things and gather/ship when they all arrive

As promised, I have now closed the polls!
For those who may just be seeing this, please don’t take this to mean that you aren’t welcome to join us. The more people we have reading, the more fun this is!
It looks like (narrowly), two weeks after the end of Volume 2, we will begin, so the first week of reading for Volume 3 will begin Saturday, October 2nd.
I will get a schedule made up and posted this weekend, when I have a little bit more time to spend on the forums!
Thanks, everyone for participating! I look forward to reading the final chapters of Volume 2 this weekend with you all, and to beginning Volume 3 shortly thereafter!

The Volume 3 Discussion Thread is now live and ready for next week!
Should anybody spot any errors I made, please let me know. I am sorely behind in sleep and am about to go crash for a little while, so I would not be surprised if I made some mistakes. 
I look forward to seeing everybody next week!

Eventually someone has to mention the missing colons in the thread title.

So, lesson learned: You can copy and paste the title, but it does not copy colons over. Twice now it’s done that to me, and I missed it.
We will probably do this again in a couple months when we start the next volume.

Well everyone, the time has come to decide when we should roll into Volume 4 of Teasing Master Takagi-San! To that end, here’s a couple of polls!
Will you be joining us for Volume 4?
- I will be there!
- I will no longer be reading along
- I just like answering polls
0 voters
When should we start Volume 4?
- Immediately after Volume 3 - December 4th
- Take a 1 Week Break - December 11th
- Take a 2 Week Break - December 18th
0 voters
Regardless of when we begin, Christmas this year is on a weekend. Given that I don’t know which holidays everyone observes, or how busy people might be during that period, I want to post a poll getting opinions on whether or not the book club should just continue business as usual during that weekend, or if we should take a break and have everybody come back the following weekend (which is New Year’s).
Should we take a break over the Christmas weekend?
- Yes, I will be too busy to participate in the club
- No, I do not observe the holiday/I am able to keep up with the reading regardless
0 voters
Personally, I can say that I will be able to keep up with the reading, but I will likely be less participatory in the threads, as my SO will once again be visiting over the holidays, though we haven’t set up the schedule for that yet, so I will keep y’all posted when that is decided!

Alright, the polls have officially closed, and the results are in:
Narrowly, we will be taking a 1-week break after we finish Volume 3 on the 27th, two weeks from now, and it seems like the majority decided against taking a break over the holiday period. With those two things in mind, I will make up a schedule and have it posted in this thread next week. Volume 4’s discussion thread will go up the week we are set to begin!
As an additional note, I said I would keep everybody updated on the travel plans I mentioned, previously. Dates have officially been set. From Christmas Day, through the 12th of January, while I will be keeping up with the readings, I will be less participatory in the threads themselves, basically just popping in whenever I might have a spare moment!
As always, thank you to everyone here who is participating in the club! You’re all fantastic!

Hi, everyone! No Takagi-san this week, but I still wanted to pop in and say that I hope everybody had a wonderful week, and that I look forward to beginning Volume 4 one week from now!
I’ve already posted the vocabulary sheet in the OP of this thread, so if there are any silly formatting errors that I’ve missed, please feel free to correct them/let me know so I can correct them!
Other than that, I’ll get the discussion thread for Volume 4 posted a week from now, either Thursday or Friday, depending on what my schedule does to me. When it’s up, I’ll post links both here and in the Volume 3 thread!
Thanks, everyone! Hope life’s treating you well!

Hello, everyone, and Happy Thursday! The Volume 4 Discussion Thread is up and ready to go for this weekend! I am excited to be spending some more time with Nishikata and Takagi-san, and I look forward to seeing you all there! 
P.S., I remembered the colons in the title this time!

You know who’s not waiting to start?
Yukari-chan.
In volume four of her manga, she’s already daydreaming about Takagi and Nishikata getting married, having a kid, and their kid growing up and falling in love. (In the chapter, Yukari’s spending her school break reading a long romance novel series, and imagining the two classmates in the roles.)

From the little bits of the 元 series I’ve seen, Yukari’s daydreams seem more like prophecy. Perhaps Takagi-san isn’t the only eldritch being, eh?

darn should I start vol 1 of the 元 series … I’m already trying to read too much… (and death note is starting)

I’m happy with whatever date gets chosen to start Volume 5.
…other than the copy I bought is currently at my friends house in another town because we did a large CDJapan order together to share the postage costs.
We met up today but he forgot to bring my half of the order with him, so hopefully we see each other again before I need it

Thank you to everyone who voted in the participation polls. I have gone ahead and closed them, since no new votes have come in for a few days now! It looks like we have decided to start up on February 12th, immediately following the end of Volume 4.
I have gone ahead and posted the schedule for Volume 5 in the OP of this thread, as well as purchase links for those who may still need them! Please keep an eye out for the vocabulary sheet and the Volume 5 discussion thread next weekend! As usual, I’ll have those posted one week prior to starting! If anybody notices any discrepancies in the schedule, please feel free to let me know. I had some odd doppelganger effect happen while I was working on it, where it double-copied one of the previous schedules for no apparent reason. I think I corrected what it tried to do, but it’s very possible I have missed something.
Also, minor disclaimer (and slight spoiler) for those who might want to crack open Volume 5 a touch early: The first chapter definitely looks like it would have come from the 元 series, instead of this series. It totally threw me for a loop, and I thought I had purchased the wrong one by mistake. 
But! It’s actually the correct manga, I promise.
@lucylavelle, I hope you have a chance to see your friend before we start as well!
