Thanks for sharing this ChristopherFritz. I was thinking about giving this a go but that quality puts me off a little - for others that read digitally, do you get used to it after a while? Squinting at furigana seems… tiring. I’m guessing it improves as you get better at automatic character recognit…

Read ルックバック but only one chapter into the new one. So far it seems like on average the pages are tougher just from like a density perspective but I imagine if you managed through the news report part of Lookback you won’t have problems with this. It’s longer and more dense, but the language is relat…

I’ve started my reading! 捕まる was a really easy word to understand from context, but I didn’t think it would come up very often outside of Pokemon.
