Thanks - the sheet is auto generated so there’s a lot of false positives and dupes. I thought I went through them for the first few sections but haven’t had time to go through the whole thing (going to keep ahead section by section like laying down track ahead of the train)

[image] mgevaert: I was mostly looking up kanji instead of trying to figure out grammar (which was pretty simple for the most part). I had success looking up kanji in WaniKani’s search engine (i.e. searching “tree” to find kanji with the “tree” radical and matching it to the text). It didn’t hav…

[image] Daisoujou: I think half of it is getting better at anticipating what it might be and being able to work backwards from that to see if it looks like what I expect when it’s too messy to easily recognize. So much of reading (and language generally) is anticipatory :slight_smile:

I had no idea this existed - I’m on iOS but downloaded Shirabe Jisho, looks pretty similar and works well. Thanks!

Whew, the last four pages were a tough read. [image] mgevaert: 面白 - omoshiroi (not having the い at the end made this super hard to figure out lol) To be clear, the い isn’t missing, it’s been conjugated. 面白おもしろかった. When you get the hang of what conjugations look like, you’ll be able to run th…

Super excited to finally be reading this one with everyone. I watched one season of chainsaw man but it really wasn’t for me, and I just happened to see the anime film adaptation for this on a whim when it was in theatres near me and I loved it, so I’m pretty excited to dig into this. I definitely t…

[image] JellyfishLove: And I like how her 4koma art is rendered, so cute…! I like her art too! [image] mgevaert: Reading handwritten script is still very difficult for me so I’m hoping to improve as the story goes on Yeah, I find handwriting a challenge too but I’m slowly getting bett…

I’m having trouble telling the characters appart in that first bit. :sweat_smile:

I’m gonna put what I think the transcription is for those manga panels and hopefully others can correct me: ▶ p.2 The manga panels on page 6 I haven’t fully deciphered yet. ▶ p.6 Edit: Oh and I think 京本’s manga on p.6 is titled “放課後の学校” but I’m not super sure about that.
