30th october
now that i’m finished with jjk i finally went back to ouran cos i skipped last week’s reading and finished the volume. really good end to the volume imo, i’ve always liked the bit where tamaki stops to pay his respects to haruhi’s mother and they have a little talk. also haruhi’s dad! i either forgot or didn’t realise that he’s canonically bi? so that was a nice surprise. the club doesn’t start back up until the new year but i might keep reading in the meantime cos i’ve not decided what my next read is yet.
today’s nhk article was this one, plus the ほど and 以外 entries in aDoIJG and some bits and pieces elsewhere including granblue which i’ve not been on in weeks cos the 龍が如くbrainrot hit me hard and took up that time 
words that stood out:
桜蘭：樹海 (sea of trees, abundant leafage), 色紙 (fancy square cardboard for autographs), 断食 (fasting. the reading tripped me up) and お召し物 (clothing. the meaning tripped me up)
