Done chapter 3. I wonder if I should try to read/watch some version of The Rose of Versailles. I’ve heard of it, but I kept having to refer to the wikipedia page on it to know who the different characters are.

I guess siblings will be siblings, but that was so mean of the sister to call him やらしい in front of their mom. The mom’s reaction was kind of priceless though.

I know the literal meaning of 頭数, but is the girl (do we know her name yet?) saying this to imply that the rest of them were invited just to reach a certain head count? Her next line 本命は二鳥くんだから seems to indicate that she thinks that, but I wasn’t sure if that was implied by the previous statement or not.
P.S. I had to add 二鳥 to my IME’s dictionary. I guess that’s not a standard name (read as にとり at least), because it’s not in jisho either.
General chapter 3 comments
Poor 千葉さん (@Naphthalene ) was soooo disappointed that Shuuichi won’t be wearing girl’s clothes in the play. The characters really are right when they describe here as 分かりやすい.
There’s was a couple churches and even a Catholic high school in the super inaka town I lived in. But Christians are still a small minority. It’s just a weird jump for her to be like “I want to go to church!” without any foreshadowing. It’s like a grade schooler child in America saying “I want to go to mosque!” without knowing if their family is even Muslim.
I’m on the 4th volume but I don’t think I have. Maybe I just haven’t been paying attention. I do like the art style a lot though.
If no one answers your questions @seanblue , I’ll try when I get home from work!
It’s been super cold and rainy these past few weeks. Nothing else to do after work but curl up with a cup of tea and a book.
And I also don’t feel as guilty as when I play games all night…
Like two weeks ago I binged Kingdom Hearts 3 the day it came out in Japan. 30 hours in 3 days… That’s why I’m taking a wee break from games right now lol.
Do I have to make the “reading goal” for the thread have a maximum too for you and @lopicake? Let’s say in February read at least one volume and no more than four?
Half-jokes aside, @ninjaflautist90@windupbird@ditto20 (just tagging you three since you haven’t started reading yet), what do you think a reasonable monthly goal / goal range is? I kind of think saying to read anywhere from 1-4 volumes a month seems reasonable. Basically ranges from one a month to one a week.
Anywhere between 1 and 4 seems reasonable enough. I personally won’t be able to do more than one or two this month, because I only have the first volume at the moment, but I’m fine with ending up behind for a bit. (I kind of already am with aria, but I should be able to catch up on that this weekend after my quantum physics exam is done and before my next course starts)
