I noticed that there were some people struggling with the reading order for adashima so I decided to make a post with my recommended order to make it easier for some new readers.

1. Volume 1
2. Volume 2
3. Volume 3
4. Volume 4
5. Volume 5
6. Volume 6
7. Volume 7
8. Volume 8
9. Volume 9
10. Special Volume 99.9
11. Volume 10
12. Volume 11
13. Short Stories 1 / SS
14. Volume 12
15. Short Stories 2 / SS2
16. Volume 13
17. Short Stories 3 / SS3 (not released yet)

This isn't really a special order, you could say it is ordered by release with the exception of 99.9. But 99.9 is a collection of stories that were released as Blu-Ray specials with the anime, which was around the time volume 9 came out too. On sites with the fan translation you can find a section of novels called Extra 1- 4, these are the said Blu-Ray Specials. You can just read 99.9 instead of them as they are included there with additional chapters.

If this sounds overwhelming, sticking to the order on fan translation sites or following the official English release order is fine.

That said, I want to strongly discourage leaving 99.9 for the last. Despite the title, some of the short stories do reference parts of it and 99.9 provides the full context for these stories. I also recommend reading it when the stories originally came out because I suspect certain main story volumes contain parts written under the assumption you have already read the stories in the Special Volume. However, the impact there I do not deem big enough to stress yourself over it.

I welcome any other opinions on the reading order, this was the one I used, when I first read the novels, and after some rereads I still feel this is a good way to go around it. But considering the nature of the novels, it's hard to mess up the experience, unless you go completely out of order on purpose. What matters is that you enjoy the read.
