ルックバック - Week 6 Apologies for the lateness. Reading: pg 72 → pg 97 Notes for this week: there’s some quite text-dense pages that you don’t have to completely read if you don’t want to, but as always ask here if you’re interested. ▶ Final panel Beginner Book Club Look Back - Home Thread [image] …

Notes: I will have more to say about the event next week. Suffice to say there’s some metatextual/real world implications to it that lend it some interesting nuances even beyond what is in the manga.

Great reminder in the last few pages for the grammar point ~せいで. I went to refresh on it, and I learned something new! I think I got the feeling through seeing the phrase in movies/anime that you don’t really use ~せいで for positive things, but I didn’t connect that kinda the opposite phrase (for posi…

Couple thoughts! Fujino having to write under the pen name she and Kyoumoto shared is a nice touch - can never completely forget her! (and also just noticed their names share characters with Tatsuki Fujimoto) Shark Kick is an amazing title for a manga Switching to news-speak is so jarring edit: I…
