We start reading chapter 1 on 28th September (Japan time). I’ll be putting up a new thread for each week’s discussion - I’ll aim to put these up on Friday evening European time.

It begins! Week 1 thread is up.
Week 1 Warning!
In this week’s reading some characters undertake a test. The test they are taking is a hard test, so the vocab on the test papers is going to be hard for us learners! Don’t worry if you can’t understand the test questions - you only need to understand that the test is hard. The vocab spreadsheet will help you if needed.

We have three weeks to go for volume one. The beginner book club will be moving onto their next pick. But is anyone interested in carrying on reading the next volumes of this manga in an offshoot book club?
- Yes - count me in!
- Not for me this time
- Not sure yet
- Just need to click something

I’ll definitely continue reading the series but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep up with a club or if I’ll just read it at my own pace.

I’m on the last chapter of Book 1 and ordered books 2, 3 and 4 yesterday so I am definitely in! Such a good series and a great experience for my first Book Club book.

Got to this one a bit too late, so I’ll just join with the next manga. Still, if anyone hasn’t read this series before, please do so. It might be one of the best Shounens out there imo. Maybe it’ll get a real anime adaptation one day…
