📚📚 Read every day challenge - Fall 2023 🧣🍂🍁

:bat::bat:

yesterday I didn’t have much time for anything… :confused: I was busy all day with work, appointments and had a friend coming over for the evening who ended up spending the night here… :confused:
We watched a lot of stuff on disney+ / amazon prime (btw for anyone who didn’t realize: a LOT of stuff on there can be switched to Japanese - be it subtitles or dub (much more than on Netflix)) and I made sure to have the Japanese subtitles on and try to read along (because I knew I wouldn’t get any reading in otherwise that day) but I kinda still don’t know if I should really count that as a mark in my reading challenge calendar or not :see_no_evil: it feels a little bit like cheating, idk x-x

Today I read the next chapter of レンタルおにいちゃん and what should I say I really enjoy that manga. finding out that it wasn’t actually おにいさん who wanted the money for the rental made a lot of the ouchy vibes go away though it’s still quite 辛い… well how could it not be, really… losing your parents as a little child and having your former lovely brother turn into a complete asshat who beats you and not being able to understand that at all, having your classmates be complete assholes too and basically being on your own except for a “rental big brother”… of course it’s hurtful :see_no_evil: it’s supposed to be :see_no_evil: and I usually like series that are darker and not just cute, I guess the first chapter was just too much for me (especially) because of the mental state I was in myself at that moment ^^‘’

so actually thanks @ChristopherFritz for bringing that manga up again and again (rightfully!) as that was probably my biggest reason to turn to that (instead of anything else) :blush:
