Personal Opinion

It’s a cute slice of life where I enjoyed the anime, so I’m kind of interested in reading the source material and seeing how it differs. It’s probably one of the CGDCT slice of life that changed my mind on the genre, and unlike Girls und Panzer, it didn’t even need to involve tanks (unless you believe the crack theories)

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Standard life setting, with some cafe terminology maybe, but judging by the anime the topics shouldn’t be too out there.
  • 4koma is a format that hasn’t gotten too much love in other book clubs

Cons

  • Lower level than the target level (but it has already been refused by the BBC as too difficult)
  • The illustrations on the characters pages before the manga starts are… surprisingly fan-servicey, given what I remember of the anime
  • There was a ad-hoc club back in 2018: ご注文はうさぎですか miscellaneous discussion
