๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š Read every day challenge - Fall 2022 ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚

Home

I read ch 4 of JJK0, finishing the volume! 0 was good, I liked it. Also, Yuuta punched Getou in the face this chapter, which was great. It wasnโ€™t as difficult as Iโ€™d thought it would be to stop myself from immediately picking up the novelization, and I spent the rest of the evening just reading in English.

I also took a peek at vol 1, and itโ€™s got normal-length chapters. Iโ€™m not used to reading manga with such long chapters, so it was kinda throwing me off with this (ๅ›ใซๅฑŠใ‘, too, for that matter), which may be why I only managed one chapter a day, even though I definitely went into it yesterday feeling like I could read both 3 and 4.

Some vocab of note:

ใ‚ใ‚ใ›ใ‚‹ [ไป–ไธ€] to put blade to blade; to fight. I can definitely see how this is related to โ€œto match,โ€ especially with the English phrase, โ€œto match blades.โ€
ๅŽš้ก” (ใ“ใ†ใŒใ‚“) [noun, ใช-adj.] impudence; audacity; shamelessness; effrontery. And here I learn that ๅŽš also means โ€œbrazen,โ€ not just โ€œthickโ€ and the like.

Day 37 Progress:
ใŠ้šฃใฎๅคฉไฝฟๆง˜ ๅ››ๅ†Š - 50.92% โ†’ 57.47%

Horrid day for reading. Stumbled over a lot of basic things I thought I knew, and also the book was just awful. Closest Iโ€™ve ever gotten to wanting to drop it, or at least take a break.

ๅ‘จใ‚ใพใญ telling ็œŸๆ˜ผใพใฒใ‚‹ that she shouldnโ€™t be exposing her damn legs because it might attract the inadvertent impassioned gazes of boys. And the fact that itโ€™s justified by every single boy apart from ๅ‘จ and his friends being some insane lusthound for ็œŸๆ˜ผ. What an awful trope that should have died 30 years ago.

Hopefully better and less painful reading session tomorrow.

Word of the Day: ็ซฏๆœซใŸใ‚“ใพใค - computer terminal or device like smartphone, tablet, etc. I like the idea of the Internet being vast and immense and your device is only accessing a tiny tip at the edge of it.

Today I finished Volume 9 of Teasing Master Takagi-san. As there are currently 18 volumes, that marks the half way point :slight_smile: Though Iโ€™m sure another volume or two will come out before I reach the end!

Card Captor Sakura volume 2 โ€“ progress report

Yesterday: Read up to page 376, finished chapter 20 and Aria: the masterpiece volume 2.
Today: Started reading Card Captor Sakura volume 2, read up to page 37, finished chapter 6.

My anxiety has passed (for now) and I could read without the intent of distracting myself from it again. Iโ€™ll stick to Card Captor Sakura during this and the next week, perhaps even until the end of the month. No idea, how far Iโ€™ll get until the 31st but it would be nice if I could finish at least volume 3 by then.


Word or expression of the day:

I read HQ vol 36. This series is so damn good, for real. Iโ€™m kind of sad Iโ€™ve only got 9 volumes left.

Some vocab of note:

ๅผ•ใฃ่พผใฟๆ€ๆกˆ (ใฒใฃใ“ใฟใ˜ใ‚ใ‚“) [noun, ใช-adj., ใฎ-adj.] reserved; introverted; reticent; shy; withdrawn

I mean, I know what I think of (like a beatific smile or something), but considering the context this was used in, Iโ€™m not sure it fits. (Although, Keiโ€™s smile after his successful block a few pages laterโ€ฆ maybe it does.)

Card Captor Sakura volume 2 โ€“ progress report

Yesterday: Started reading Card Captor Sakura volume 2, read up to page 37, finished chapter 6.
Today: Finished chapter 7, continued up to page 86.

Unfortunately I didnโ€™t understand half of what Sonomi (Tomoyoโ€™s mother) said but I still got the gist of the chapter (partly thanks to my memory of events too).

At least the 7th chapter also cleared one thing up which confused me upon re-reading the 1st volume. It was Tomoyo blushing when looking at Toya because I remembered her being in love with Sakura. This chapter explained her reactions and that the only reason she was blushing was the fact that Toyaโ€™s ears resemble Sakuraโ€™s. :joy:
I canโ€™t help but feel bad for Tomoyo because her love is a one-sided one, though she still has a wonderful friend in Sakura. I also respect Tomoyo a lot because she actively helps Sakura pursue her love interests because sheโ€™s not entitled to Sakuraโ€™s reciprocation of her love โ€“ Tomoyo sure is the wing(wo)man we donโ€™t deserve. :relieved:

And speaking of painful, I sure felt the pain when the next chapter immediately implied the feelings between Rika and the Terada-sensei. Donโ€™t mind me, Iโ€™m just going to fetch my bag over there. :nauseated_face:
Sigh, okay I canโ€™t let this slide, I have to rant a little bit: CLAMP and their stories have always been a hit and miss for me. There are admittedly only a few works which I could stomach from the oneโ€™s Iโ€™ve read and know about in a general sense.
While there is plenty to like in Sakura and their other manga, there are always some things that just put me off quite a bit. And a big one of them are CLAMPโ€™s couples or โ€˜soul matesโ€™, so to say, because holy cr*** are there a lot of them that โ€“ in my opinion โ€“ should never have existed such Rika and the teacher, for example. :expressionless:


Word or expression of the day:

่ฒฏใ‚ใ‚‹ - (ใŸใ‚ใ‚‹) - to save up (money)

Farmerโ€™s revolt.

A little of ใ†ใŸใ‚ใ‚Œใ‚‹ใ‚‚ใฎ, and also vocabularies also from Tate-Yuusha anime sub.

Interesting words
  • ใŠใจใ—ใ‚ใ‚‹ = to look down on. The Kanji form is ่ฒถ(ใŠใจใ—)ใ‚ใ‚‹, although this probably matters more for Kanji meaning.

  • ใ•ใชใŒใ‚‰ = just like. Kanji form is ๅฎ›(ใ•ใชใŒ)ใ‚‰.

December 18th!

Today I read the second half of Chapter 4 of God Bless the Mistaken.
Struggled a bit with it this week, but Iโ€™ve had a pretty long (but fun!) weekend and Iโ€™m reading quite late at night, so Iโ€™m probably just tired.
