Whoa…! How small was it in the novel? ---

You mean how small was the kanji and furigana in the physical copy of the manga? It wasn’t bad at all since ご注文はうさぎですか uses oversized pages. ---

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Hmmm… Oversized pages. ---

Yep, it’s super nice. It’s the same size as Aria the Masterpiece and bigger than Non Non Biyori (which is the same as Yotsubato). Here’s a couple pictures comparing ご注文はうさぎですか and Non Non Biyori. > **Pictures** > > ![manga%20size%201](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/3X/1/c/1c233750cb7d8105fdf547b74e736d16f0cba7ae.jpeg) > > ![manga%20size%202](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/3X/4/7/470dabee74e3c453ac085f7dbb8072856d73e8c3.jpeg) ---

Cool! Thanks! The Non Non Biyori cover is really cute. : ) ---

曰くーいわくーpretext, history, past, story; according to… 躊躇ーちゅうちょーhesitation, indecision, vacillation (both kanji are non-wk and mean “hesitate”) -further fun facts, courtesy of rice, 躊躇い，躊躇う read ためらい and ためらう and meaning hesitation and to hesitate respectively ---

Aren’t you breaking some rules? 壁 is technically on WK, even if that reading/meaning combo isn’t taught. [Edit: but anyway, see Leebo’s post below] Also, so many okurigana. Well then, so more of the stuff I like: 佇む たたずむ to loiter 逞しい たくましい sturdy/tough 土竜 もぐら ~~obviously a land dragon~~ mole ---

> [@TamanegiNoKame](#): > > Also, 壁ーへき- false; punish; crime; law; ruler (oddly different meanings for one word) Where did you find all those for へき? EDIT: Oh, you’re talking about this 辟, not 壁. Still, I don’t see any evidence that へき is a word that means those things. To me, that appears to just be a list of associated meanings for the kanji, and not words themselves. ---

繋ぐ (つな.ぐ) - to connect And a basic word I recently missed on iKnow… 鞄 (かばん) - bag (makes sense that it uses the leather radical!) ---

By the way, 魑魅魍魎 also appears in 新世界より, _without_ furigana. 😛 ---

@Naphthalene @Leebo Thanks. Yeah, I mistyped. I meant 辟. Jisho claims it is a word, but maybe I have been deceived. > **[Jisho.org: Japanese Dictionary](https://jisho.org/word/%E8%BE%9F)** > > Powerful and easy-to-use online Japanese dictionary with words, kanji and example sentences. > **[Tanoshii Japanese](https://www.tanoshiijapanese.com/dictionary/entry_details.cfm?entry_id=55331&word_definition_id=8156)** > > Listen to the pronunciation, view english meanings, stroke order diagrams and conjugations for 辟 (heki). Not sure though, might be a lie. Also, NATH are you serious??? I was reading a book and was sure it was a dragon. Mole would make more sense maybe…👀 ---

Jisho and that website both use the same source database. Which is built by regular folks like you and me. I can’t find that word in the monolingual dictionaries I have. ---

Ok. Thanks! I am a bit 辟易 by Jisho’s breach of my trust, but I will survive this blow to my faith in dictionaries. Any good suggestions for monolingual dictionaries online? ---

Depends if you have a good internet connection or not. I’m using the コトバンク app, which connects seamlessly to their online dictionary. It’s free, but a bit terse. You can also get bigger, better, meaner dictionaries through in-app purchases, and access those as well at the same time. I haven’t tried, though. About 土竜, in 99% of the cases, it’s a mole. I guess it could be a dragon, but then the word would not be read モグラ but どりゅう I guess. ---

Kotobank and Weblio both read from a variety of dictionaries. It usually tells you which one the info comes from at the top of the entry. ---

Sadly not the app. I mean, it can, but as I said, that’s an in-app purchase. Instead, it relies on their own stuff. Looking at the settings, it’s the ポケットプログレッシブ国語辞典 ---

> [@Naphthalene](#): > > By the way, 魑魅魍魎 also appears in 新世界より, _without_ furigana. 😛 **THE HORROR!** Were you able to read it? The second and third kanji are easy because they follow their phonetic component, but the first one I’d have guessed り and the fourth doesn’t have a phonetic component that I know (though maybe the one part is a variation of 両, in which case it also follows its phonetic component). More importantly, did you know what it means? ---

I was reading with Flo＊Flo, so no, but it wasn’t an issue 😛 Also, the meaning was kinda obvious from the context. ---
