I guess I’ll go ahead and nominate this(here’s hoping I didn’t forget to include anything)
不可解な僕のすべてを
Summary
English(just my own translation of the amazon summary below, not completely literal):

Personal Opinion
I’ve personally already read the first volume, so my main reasons for nominating it are that it seemed to be at a difficulty level that felt similar to some previous book club picks to me, as well as that I personally liked it(enough to be up for rereading it if it gets chosen for the book club)
Pros and Cons for the Book Club
Pros
- No furigana, could be good for practicing kanji.
- First two chapters are currently available (legally) for free online (1 2)
- Handles some of the topics it covers better than most other manga I’m aware of
Cons
- No furigana except for names, meaning that looking up unknown vocab/kanji may take longer.
- Some pages have somewhat large amounts of text(see first two additional sample pages)
