So I haven’t quite started reading yet, but I have opened up the book - and my, what lovely chapter titles. :blush:

I’m a bit confused by the English titles, but I’m looking forward to finding out what that’s all about. Or not, that’s okay too.

I must confess that I haven’t even opened the book, but I think tomorrow might be good for starting on it.
Regarding English titles, I’ve been confused by the English book titles ever since, so no surprise to me that English chapter titles would be equally confusing :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’m sure this book will be about a Who stuck inside the vase on the cover, right? There’s nothing to be confused about :slight_smile:

Finished!

  • So far it seems like the title should be How Inside instead :wink:
  • I feel a little bad, but there’s something satisfying about reading about a smart Japanese character struggling a bit with English grammar
  • Didn’t expect a 自動詞 joke :slight_smile:

I’m catching up (too slowly) but I’m disappointed by the lack of Doctor Who references in this thread.

Looks like it’s up to you to remedy that! :wink:

Uuuuuh here you go then (plus you know, it’s bigger on the inside).

Also, I just found out there’s an actual magic trick called “who inside” with a small jar and a key/padlock, it has to be inspired by the book!
