9 By TheMattman#80985 5 years ago ( 8.7.0 ) She's late to Anime School 2 Vermillion#13284 5 years ago ( 8.7.0 ) You mean St. PigeoNation's Institute 1 Sena#85953 5 years ago ( 8.7.0 ) Just late to PAD Academy 7 By Janthina#87029 5 years ago ( 9.0.3 ) Yeah, the "ki-taku-bu" or "go-home club" means the "kids who don't join a standard school club and just go home after school". There are a few reasons for it: 1) the kids are involved in something outside of school, like little league or a soccer team or specialized lessons for music/art/swimming/whatever so joining a club at school would interrupt with that. 2) they have things they need to take care of at home, like grandparents or other sick relatives. 3) they just don't want to be in a club. At least, these are the main reasons I observed of the kids in the junior high school I taught English at for a few years in Tokyo. Clubs are super important as part of your identity in Japanese schools, to the point that like, as 7th-graders, their first English speaking test is to introduce themselves in English, and every kid gets up and basically says "Hello. I am Taro Yamada. I am from Arakawa Nishi. I'm in the soccer club. I like soccer. I don't like vegetables. I play soccer and video games. Thank you." The kids not in a club have to say "I am not in a club." Like, it's actually part of the exercise to introduce what club you are in. And it's easier to think of things to say to the kids in class when you know what club they're in. Like when teaching "I like / I play / I have" you can start saying things like "Mizuki plays the violin" if you know she's in the school orchestra, or "Daisuke likes tennis" when you know he's in the tennis club, or "Rina has a sketchbook" when you know she's in the art club. The teachers and other kids in the school would, unless they knew the reason behind a kid specifically not joining a club, would sort of refer to the "go home club" kids in a semi-derogatory way, like, "oh, Tomoya? he's, you know, NOT in a club... I hear his dad is part of the yakuza and he has, uh, stuff to do at home..." (this is an almost direct quote btw) I would step up and defend those kids a lot since I lived in Kita-ku (another part of Tokyo) and so I would say "hey I'm in the Kita-ku-bu too!" which was a bad pun but people always seemed to think it was funny. 3 By Greg!#39904 5 years ago ( 8.7.0 ) She pairs well with Sasha Blouse http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=2372 I mean look at their thumbnails 0 Mr Wiggles#26061 5 years ago ( 9.0.3 ) Haha at first I thought you meant their actual thumb nails, I was like "You can't see any of their fingernails in either picture!" 2 By OwlRammer#22714 5 years ago ( 8.7.0 ) She's in the go-home club? I'm reading that correctly right 1 残念無念#87805 5 years ago ( 8.7.0 ) In Japan it's mandatory to join a club. I think this is the case where she is just in a not really a club, club. Not sure if that has changed over the years. When I was going to school in Japan I had to go on every odd Saturdays. They changed that around early 2000s. Last edited by 残念無念 5 years ago ( 8.7.0 ) |
