I may be pressed for time tomorrow, so I figured I’d get the thread up a day early. I’ll post the “this week’s chapters” reminder tomorrow as usual!

This volume has some of my favorite scenes, so look forward to it!

I mean, I knew this volume was going to be ripe for good facial expressions, but these two chapters were just an absolute wealth of them. :joy:

Urushi isn’t the only with adorable expressions:

I’m not a “food” comic type of person, but I do enjoy the もぐもぐ expression here:

That said…Urushi is still easily the most expressive character:

Best part of Chapter 110:

This one might bear editing and coloring for a profile picture at some point:

Although, this is actually probably my favorite bit of artwork from this week (as always, the in-between chapter artworks have some real gems, though I confess to not caring much for the second one between 110 and 111):

I take it you have no plans to read 「SUPERMAN vs飯」 then ;)

This was a pretty good chapter all around, I’m not sure how it will go forward tho, seems it will be awkward and I love it! hahaha. Almost couldn’t stop reading!

スーパー悪くない. God why does this exist and why is it legal hahaha

With the field trip over, are things finally going to settle back into the usual routine?

Onward, to 第111-112局!

Do we have a vocab sheet for volume 9?
Above there is only a link for vol 8.

Pro Tip: Don’t run four book clubs at once. You’ll miss things. I really need to make myself a checklist.*

I’ve now made a copy of volume 8’s sheet that I will reshape into volume 9’s. You can start filling it out once you see chapter 109 on there, and once I get all the tabs updated I’ll edit in to the home post.

The cliffhanger! I can’t wait until next week’s reading. Hopefully Urushi wakes up though, or else even if Ayumu wins, he won’t be able to enjoy it!

I had some time today, so I got an early start on book club readings with Ayumu.

Story comments for Chapter 116

Yoooooooo whaaaaaaaaaat? What a development out of nowhere! But man, don’t tell me he’s going to stick to the “it was a dream” explanation :man_facepalming: :man_facepalming: :man_facepalming:

I legitimately flipped back and forth several times because it caught me so off guard. :joy:

It really came out of nowhere! Now that I’ve recovered from the surprise though, of course the story is going to bend over backwards to have Takeru not acknowledge it. Otherwise, that sideplot would be over :stuck_out_tongue:

I kind of wish it went with something that makes it easier to suspend disbelief than him pulling “it was a dream” out of nowhere. I guess there aren’t that many options with such a bold action though!

Well, there’s always this at hand to conveniently make him forget, I guess:

Chapter 116

I think we haven’t seen Sakurako and Takeru together in a while right? I just realized we left them at a point where Sakurako realized her feelings for Takeru and kinda at the same spot at which Ayumu and Urushi are right now as well!

Oh god the dissapointment in her eyes

OHMYFUCKINGGOD


Even takeru doesn’t know what hit him, that was a TRAIN

After reading 第117-118局 this week, be careful not to keep reading. Otherwise, you might not stop until the end of the volume.

Somehow I have been so out of my reading schedule, that I’m still stuck at chapter 114?!
Luckily the chapters for Ayumu are short, so I’ll try to catch up now :sweat:

@ChristopherFritz
I actually hate to point this out, but the vocab sheet is read only … ? at least for me? :sweat_smile:
