I’ve caught up! :heart:!!
Well, caught up to the manga, not the chapter :wink:
But I’ll catch up by the end of the manga, and start 7 along with the rest! =D

Momiji on the cover yet there’s almost no Momiji :cry: Same for the Uotani and Hanajima. It’d be nice if the other characters had some more chapters.

Note to self, I definitely need to get back to this series once my book pile clears up :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I’m going to stop after this chapter. The last season of the very well done anime adaption is about to air and the manga just can’t keep me interested enough to go through so many more volumes of the very same stuff. Especially because the anime is more or less 1:1 and a lot more enjoyable than the manga. It was fun reading with y’all, though. :v:

Looking at the last participation poll, it seems that only @valkow is left :sob:

I hope you’re okay with us stopping this spin-off book club (at least for the time being)? I wouldn’t really mind setting up the weekly threads if there were some participants (I personally am a bit fed up with the series right now, so I will at least pause for a bit), but for one person it does not really make that much sense, I fear…

If there are more interested persons at some point, feel free to ping me, and I’ll jump back in to set up the weekly polls. :crossed_fingers:

I ended up stopping after finishing volume 5, but I read volume 6 today to catch up. I can’t say I’m terribly excited to continue reading this series, but I have up through volume 14, so I’ll probably continue it at some point. For now I’m going to take a break and read some other books.

I was just about to read Volume 6 to catch up before we start 7, but, honestly, I have so many things to read I don’t mind scratching one of the list.

I have them all and WILL finish, but don’t mind doing it in my own time, or at least focus on other reads for a while.

Do ping me if it does start back up. Even if it’s just to click the poll and get a push to get the reading done, I’ll still join =)
