And reading more up on it, and the translation isnāt too good. i was convinced someone would be going to tease āmaster takagi-sanā, but itās basically saying: teasing master (very good in): takagi-san.
But: omg, I recognised the äøę

I keep reading it this way as well. It threw me off a bit on whoās who at first.
Whoever came up with this as the title for the official English release really should have employed a dash: āTeasing-Master Takagi-sanā.

Wikipediaās translation makes much more sense: good at teasing: miss Takagi.
Pretty sure itās clear for everybody who can read Japanese

Iām a little confused on where the book starts. This is my first time trying to read one, and I opted for reading on a kindle/kindle app.

woo hooā¦ a set of 13 vols appeared today ā¦ thank you CDJapan and DHL. ā¦always fun buying stuff from Japanā¦ super fast and awesome (at least to Los Angeles)ā¦
gonna try a book club again that this time probably wonāt bury me 
(donāt have the reading drive of some of our well known experts here)
was able to read and understand 90 - 95% (a few new vocab)ā¦but finally got to enjoy thisā¦ looking forward to opening something and being able to enjoy it a little more instead of pushing through with lots of vocab I donāt know and all that N3 grammar I still need to learn

Thought Iād reread the first chapter tonight and went through and populated the remainder of the vocab sheet for ch1 (page numbers from printed manga)ā¦added more vocab (considering this might be the first book for many absolute beginners) ā¦ for the most part ch1 is pretty much filled inā¦hopefully it makes things a bit easier when the 1st chapter officially starts.
Enjoy!

Iām interested in giving this a shot, Iāve heard good things about this manga and want to start reading soon.
Would it be wise to get a physical copy if only because I want to write notes in it? Or is writing straight in manga sacrilege? 
Maybe I should get some clear sticky notes?

imo you bought and supported the media and that is really already good enough (thereās too many pirates out there)
As for how you want to work with the book club, itās your book and Iām sure you can do whatever you want so long as it makes you more comfortable or helps you understanding the context etc.
I personally just choose to go digital cause I donāt want to allocate more space to keep my physical medias :rip:
I bought the ebook and converted it into a pdf. Then I can use the ānotesā function in my pdf reader to add digital sticky notes. What I like about this is that I can write as much as I want (infinite space!) and the notes are searchable.

Iām pretty sure I missed out some potential words or I just unintentionally left out some words cause they seemed a bit too obvious to point out (as in depends on how comprehensive weāre gonna make).
But yea feel free to add in words as you see fit
In past book clubs weāve had spreadsheets with every single word in them, so I wouldnāt worry about it being too comprehensive

Good point! Iām happy to support authors. It was way too easy for a very long time to pirate manga, but it seems nowadays thereās a lot of good resources to read legally.
I bought a physical copy because I think I will add notes to it with clear sticky notes. I noticed a store someone mentioned earlier, Kinokunhiya, is actually in Los Angeles where Iām located. So no issues getting a Japanese copy here ā I bought it with some other absolute beginner manga (Yotsuba and Clueless Transfer Student is Assertive)
I have bare shelves myself that need filling anyways ā right now the only manga sitting on my shelves complete is Oyasumi Punpun in English. Could use, uh, lighter manga to round out that shelf.
Smart! I may do this as well sometime if I donāt feel compelled to own physical.
Alrightā¦ Thank youā¦ This is my first book club joined so itās really exciting. Still looking forward to someone starting a rent-a-girlfriend bookclub someday :3

I went through and added what made sense yesterdayā¦but it looks like more was added since (some not in dictionary form - seems the instructions [guidelines tab] are often ignored ) ā¦it always seems to happen with the clubsā¦not gonna worry about it since things havenāt started yet. The master list keeper can adjust/tweak as necessary once reading is officially underway.
