Read a chapter from Konaโ€™s Adventures today (from Satori Reader). Kona was thinking back to his early childhood and it ended up being a slightly sad episode :pleading_face:

After two days of Sakura and Suzukiโ€™s story, I found this one quite diffiult.

No words today because Iโ€™m too tired TT

Travelling for the first time in a while to look at some apts/job stuff, so I brought my kindle with me. If i have some extra time I might throw in a bit of ้ซ˜ๆœจใ•ใ‚“ later, since I never finished the volumes I had on there for this express purpose. I gave myself like an hour to read a chapter of your lie in april before I had to check out of the room, but even with some distractions ended up only needing about 30 minutes. Guess my reading speed is still improving!

  • ๅ™›(ใ‹)ใฟๅˆ(ใ‚)ใ† = to be in gear with; to mesh smoothly. Usually the opposite of ไบ’(ใŸใŒ)ใ„ใซใ‹ใฟใคใ, although can also mean this way.
  • ๆŸ„(ใŒใ‚‰)ใซใ‚‚ใชใ = to be out of character

:dango: Girl Friends : 11 โ†’ 30ish (the rest of chapter one)
:speech_balloon: Komi-san 3 : 1st chapter of volume 3
:books: The Practice by Seth Godin : a few more pages
:books: Furies of the Calderon by Jim Butcher (first book of the Codex Alera) : 1 chapter (so far today)

Girl Friends seems nice so far. I really like Mari-chanโ€™s thoughts and suspicions. :joy: Those make me really enjoy this so far. I do look up the words I need for this (mostly) and make sure I understand things. Because of the level of this, I can do that fairly easily.

But even easier is a pure extensive read, so I also started the third volume Komi-san and read one chapter.

A few pages of the Practice. It keeps being thought provoking which is why I only manage to read like 3-4 pages each time. :joy:

And finally for the first time in a while Iโ€™m starting a new novel in English (Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher). Well I say new, but it is actually a reread. I read this series about the time it was coming out, so 15-20 years agoโ€ฆ O_O

So I guess it was time for my first reread, huh? xD

I started reading ็†็”ฑ by ๅฎฎ้ƒจใฟใ‚†ใ, another ๆŽจ็†ๅฐ่ชฌ. Thanks @Belerith for lending it to me even before you get to read it :slight_smile:
I really like the writing style a lot so far.
(commenting on writing style only) The author is like a distant observer, interviewing the characters. It feels like a TV show in my head, with cuts, narration, and interspersed dialogue. Sheโ€™s like this interviewer coming out of nowhere that doesnโ€™t really exist in the story, and there is no explanation in what situation the witnesses / characters gave these statements. They just do. Itโ€™s really cool.
And then the author is also like โ€žWell, which event came first? This one or this one? Letโ€™s check the security camera footage to find out!โ€œ, or โ€žThis question of whether the eye witness report was correct or not would become a big point of contention later, but for now weโ€˜ll not concern ourselves with that.โ€œ or โ€žWe took a bit of a detour there with that long explanation; now letโ€™s get back to the night of the crimeโ€œ. It really pulls you along.

But the font is so tiny! And the book is 600 pages! 19 x 41 = 779 characters on one page, while other books I own are more in the 16 x 40 = 640 character range. On the picture it doesnโ€™t look like such a big difference, but the page definitely feels more โ€žcrampedโ€œ.

I have this; I got about 90 pages in and stalled out (more because of finding other books shorter and more tempting than any issue with the book itself). I really should get back to it, but probably not before Iโ€™m done with ใƒฌใƒ™ใƒซ7. The choice of how to depict the story is definitely an interesting one.

Yeah :partying_face: I finished the 3 (currently) free volumes. Iโ€™d say the story was okayโ€ฆish. But not so good, that I would want to pay money to buy the next volumes. :woman_shrugging:


So now I โ€œhave toโ€ read Conan. Since the first 18(?) volumes are free now xD I already bought the first one some time ago and I am currently around the half way point. But it would be nice to read at least one or two further volumes during their free time.

Then again I still need to catch up in A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar and in 999. But both is not so easy to do for me compared to just reading a manga on my phone inbetween :sweat_smile:

April 12th!

Today I read the ABBC assignment of Ruri Dragon, and also 2 chapters of Chiโ€™s Sweet Home.
Iโ€™ve finished all my book club reading for this week, so Iโ€™m not sure what Iโ€™m going to read tomorrow. I still really want to try to read the light novels of Orange, while I still have the vocab and storyline of the manga in my head so maybe Iโ€™ll attempt that.

Woo! Didnโ€™t drop the ball today xD I loved the little segment I read today, it was very entertaining - there were MANY penguins :joy: I adore this illustration of ใŠๅง‰ใ•ใ‚“ because she looks like the queen of the penguins (whichโ€ฆI mean, she kind of is lol). Iโ€™m a little jealous, I would also like to be queen of the penguins :penguin::crown::sparkles:

We finally found out where the river behind the school goes :joy: Also I learned a new expression that I found interesting - ็“œไบŒใค. Two melons in a pod :melon::melon:

Hm, I donโ€™t have much to say today. I feel like Iโ€™m reading the dialogue more smoothly than before and more sentences make sense. While I have been enjoying playing since the beginning, playing doesnโ€™t feel as mentally exhausting anymore. I usually put on a Japanese podcast or grammar lesson during the parts between dialogue so that I donโ€™t feel rushed to go through the story and can enjoy playing.

Thank you for mentioning this. I immediately went and grabbed them up. I have the first couple of volumes in Japanese and now Iโ€™m probably going to binge this during the Tadoku challenge next month. :rofl: Edit: Ah, the free trial ends on May 8th, so Iโ€™ll really have to binge.

Apparently today was Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) Day. Well, Iโ€™ve already got that down pat lol! (Although itโ€™s โ€œdrop everything and read for 10-30 minutes,โ€ not for most of the day, but.)

  • ใ‚ขใ‚ฟใƒƒใ‚ฏ!! episode 34-36
  • 52 pages of ใ‚ตใƒžใƒผใ‚ตใ‚คใƒ€ใƒผ, finishing ch 5 and reading all of ch 6, and leaving off on pg 312. Holy crap. I was wondering why the cover illustration for ch 5 was Miura and Mizu standing around a trapdoor with a crowbar. Not disappointed. Holy hell. Man, I wish I could finish the rest today; Iโ€™ve just got the 23-page epilogue left (though with the cliffhanger ch 6 ends on, it feels like it should be ch 7 lol)
Some vocab of note:

The ไป˜ in both can be spelled either with or without the okurigana, though without seems more common.

I continue to be less on my reading game than usual :joy: thatโ€™s what happens when I get invested in games that arenโ€™t in Japanese oh no yesterday I started scoping out the next section for the Zero Escape club, and today I just did some reading for class.
