Hiroshima University Preliminary Round for the National University Biblio Battle 2025.
What is a Bibliobattle?
A “Biblio Battle” is an intellectual book review game where participants (called “battlers”) introduce books they’ve read and found interesting.
Here’s how it works:
- Each battler brings a book they want to recommend.
- One by one, they give a 5-minute presentation about their book.
- After each presentation, there is a 2–3 minute group discussion.
- Once all presentations are finished, everyone votes for the book they most want to read.
- The book with the most votes becomes the “Champion Book.”
(Based on the official Biblio Battle rules)
