Maybe a little 
But I can try my best to wait until the rest of the world wakes up (I also don’t want to be the first to ask a question hhahaha).

Please be! If you are ahead and already read and have questions, start the dicsussion by all means. A lot of people will have similar questions and be thankful to you.

By all means, feel free to if you’d like. (And feel free to modify it in any way.)
You'll find this comes up a lot when reading various manga.
You get used to it in time. I imagine it’s common that questions about る/ん come up in the ABBC and BBC.
Sentence-ending particles are another one that you get used to with enough exposure. For me personally, I think watching anime helped because knowing the various tones they’re spoken with goes a long way.
I just now woke up on April 30th =D
I’ll second this. A lot of people will be apprehensive about asking questions. Seeing questions be asked may help alleviate the anxiety for some people to ask their own questions.

Based on the feedback regarding our pace, we’re sticking with one chapter a week. So here we go, chapter 2!
If you’re thinking about joining us at this stage, don’t worry about catching up. The chapters are standalone stories, so just join us for chapter 2

Hi everyone!! I’ve finally caught up with the ABBC’s schedule (ノ°▽°) Just a simple question, is anyone here thinking about continuing the reading of からかい上手の高木さん in an offshoot club? I would gladly join since I love 西方’s way of complicating his own life (o^ ^o)

I definitely am! I bought the whole series anyways, and I’m loving it. Would there be an offshoot I’d love to join in
