Sounds like a good plan!
Good to have you reading along! Don’t feel shy about asking questions on the chapters we’ve already read from volume 1.
I’d suggest joining us, even if that means reading the english version to catch up. I am finding the accountability and having people to discuss the chapters with a great resource. It keeps me on track and makes me realize grammar/vocabulary that I wouldn’t have by myself.
Btw, if you judged your abilities of Japanese based on Haikyuu (from the beginner’s book club). I actually found Haikyuuu a bit more intense and sometimes more difficult than the Intermediate book club I am a part of (Convenience Store woman). So maybe that will make you feel better
Same here. The colloquial speech and teeny tiny furigana make Haikyuu a lot harder to get through for me than Convenience Store Woman.
I am glad to hear that it wasn’t only me that found Haikyuu a bit more challenging I was flicking through Nichijou and saw that was simpler and was thinking of trying the Beginner’s Book Club in April for that.
As for Dragonball, I definitely agree that joining you for Vol 2 would be for the best, my introduction was to give myself that accountability to make sure that I keep up with my reading. I am glad to hear it is working out for you so far!
Let’s gooooooo!!

I am happy to start asap cause I will be buying the eBook, but if there are people who will be waiting for shipping I am more than happy to wait a few weeks.
I’m sticking with the physical book but bought volumes 2 and 3 together so I’m ready to go whenever. Planning to put my order in for the next volumes this week.
I’m a couple of chapters overdue, but I’ll manage to catch up. Let’s keep it up
I don’t mind having an extra week of rest to get you back on board
I have all books up until volume 6, so happy to continue immediately after finishing volume 2.
I have been a bit behind but finally things a re a bit more normal.
No worries, I’ll be ready for the next volume no problem.
Here we go
As we’re nearly done with volume 3…
- 19 June (immediately after chapter 28)
- 26 June (one week for the bonus pages)
- 3 July (one rest week)
- A bit later, I’ll explain in a comment

If asked to express a preference I’d pick moving on to the next chapter straight away. But very happy to take a week off if others want.
Same. I’ll gladly wait a week or two if that’s the difference between someone being able to join or having to let the club go.
I don’t know if @mchinellato and @Shisckatchegg have this thread on watching. Let’s ping them to make sure they’ve spotted your poll above about starting book 4.
Same as you guys, I have no problem continuing as usual, but if anyone needs stopping, I’m fine with that too.
Hello! I’m on vacation so I’m a week behind. But we I vote for us to continue at our pace! I have the book with me on vacation and can catch up quickly
