Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki, Vol. 1 Discussion

Yeah, this was a really good read. Might have to actually try out some of Aoi's life hacks...
Now I'm curious if the most recent volumes in Japan feature an "ultimate" sequel to AtaFami... (if you know please don't spoil)

@stardf29 well I’m going to have to wait years to find out lol.

@hyferzftw Volume 2 on November 19 accdg. to Yen Press website.
Yen Press needs to up its game tbh. We all know JNC works fast with a new volume every 2-3 months, but Seven Seas has been on a tear recently. Mushoku Tensei and Reincarnated as a Sword feel like such recent pick ups but they're both releasing volume 3s this August.

Saw this discussion, started to read the volume, and finished it in a couple of sessions, so yeah, it was good. The characters pretty much moved the plot, and were quite likable. Looking forward to the next volume!
I now should start my reread of Oregairu...

I had to jump through a couple of hoops because of region locking of the digital version.
Tell me about it. Which worries me about a potential JNC-Shogakukan partnership.

@cosm1cfall im excited about So what, I’m a spider volumes coming out this month. Both scheduled for the same day so not sure which to read first. Probably spider Cuz I love that series so much.

Just read it based on your recommendation and got through it pretty quick. As you say, it is very fun to read. LNDB lists it as currently being 8 volumes, so plenty more to come - it's just a shame it isn't being translated by JNC with their super fast translation speeds.
-
Picked this up on a whim a few days ago, haven't had a chance to read it yet but it sounds like I really have something to look forward to.
-
@hyferzftw I also read Spider volumes the moment they come out. But yeah it's a Yen Press title so it's been 4 months since the last one, and I barely remember what happened lol.

JNC's super-fast translation speeds are great for finished series. I'm curious as to what catching up actually does for sales - whether or not the inability to preorder the next volume causes a dropoff in sales after it's eventually announced.
Yen seems more interested in having a continual drip to make sure people can keep reading the series. They are releasing it faster than Japan (one volume every 3-4 months vs. one volume every 5-6), so at this rate they'll catch up eventually.

Well now that I've started reading volume 1 I guess I'll share my thoughts on it. The first chapter was pure setup and honestly I didn't find it all that interesting but since it had the burden of setting up the rest of the series I felt this was forgivable.
The second chapter was much better though as Tomozaki's social awkwardness made for some pretty good comedy, nothing that made me laugh too hard but enough that I was kept entertained. Hopefully it only gets better from here.
