Streak Count: I don’t remember and I’m too lazy to count, but I think it’s still unbroken?
To be honest, I’m just here to complain about those times they just throw a bunch of nouns together.
「南大阪産業廃物処分業組合の理事長でした。」
Even they knew it was annoying to read, since none of those words ever required furigana before.
It’s not a hard sentence, my brain just wants to nope out when faced with something as long as 南大阪産業廃物処分業組合.
Complaining done now. ^^
Happy reading, everyone!
Day XVI: 雨と君と 
Seeing Tanuki’s surprise visit to the beach I had to read the tanuki today and I had to read it now (thankfully I have some free time this morning), so I read the first three free chapters of 雨と君と.
It was difficult focusing on reading because of the constant distraction of sheer cuteness, but I made it, and now I don’t know what to do with myself.
Too. Much. Cute.
Home post - September 16 - Another very sleepy day where I only read 1 page of 大海原と大海原 - although that was after spending a few hours going through vocab sheets and notes for another book I previously read to add vocab to Anki - and going through vocab sheets for a few books I plan to read to do the same. Time to sneak in an episode of anime before I call it a night T.T
Day 16
Read section 2, a few pages which pushed me halfway into chapter 5 in 手紙!
I don’t know how to feel about the current plot. The beginning has me trusting no one and nothing, so everything always feels so tense. Like lately there’s a girl that’s pursuing dating Naoki. Which would usually be kind of cute (I love love). But he’s not that into her (he actively changed his bus route to avoid her) and she got ahold of his address by following him to his door??? She did send him cute letters… But that’s also stalking?!? Not cute. Whether it happens or not, I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Sleepy, so I’ll post new words next time!
I almost complained about this yesterday! My word is: 帝都大学通信教部. Yours is 12 characters long, so you win. But even at 8, and being able to tell the meaning, it’s still not fun to look at 
Hello to everyone who’s joined in the last couple of days!!
Thanks! I’ll make sure to use this 
Day 15:
日本語: I read a fair amount of ミステリと言う勿れ and a bit of 魔王城でおやすみ.
Read-aloud: We read a chapter of 7SEEDS (and finished v19).
中国語: I read 立春.
９月１６日：
What did I read:
Wadanohara and her familiars are on the way to their home. Just when they’re about to return, Kuromaki catched up to them and passed to Wada something what’s important to her, but she forget in Witches country because she was too nervous. Wada is disstressted by the fact that she forgot this thing and says sorry to Kuromaki who went out of her way just to deliver this item.
Words I didn’t know: 鮫, 飛ぶ, 追いつく, 困る, 殺風景, 冗談, 大事, 届ける
Today I finished the first volume ofマ月期. I am totally disappointed Yasuke still didn’t kiss Hinata. But stuff happened and his soul is now trapped in Akari’s body. Now he needs to hold Akari’s hand the whole time if he doesn’t want to die. I still have the second volume but I will read something different tomorrow.
Which of my manga should I read next maybe 金田一少年の事件簿 if it’s not too hard. Actually I already read some of it translated maybe ten years ago. It’s about a young detective, I think he is still a student, solving murder mysteries.
September 16
・Started Honzuki 6. (6% → 10%)
A not so tiny read today 
鍛冶・(かじ) - smithing, blacksmith
たかが知れている - to not amount to much
衆目・(しゅうもく) - all eyes, public attention
箔が付く・(はくがつく) - to increase in value, to gain prestige
考えあぐねる・(かんがえあぐねる) - to be at a loss, to think and think but get nowhere
喉から手が出る・(のどからてがでる) - to want something desperately, to want something (so badly one can taste it)
I am fluent! :DD …Wait, the power-ups cancel each other out? 
Seeing this vocab reminded me that I learned the word たかが thanks to one of my favourite scenes in Haikyuu 
月島「僕は純粋に疑問なんですが、どうしてそんなに必死にやるんですか？ バレーはたかが部活で将来履歴書に「学生時代部活を頑張りました」って書けるくらいの価値しかないんじゃないですか？」
木兎「”ただの部活”ってなんか人の名前っぽいな…」
黒尾「！おお…タダ・ノブカツ君か…！」
Day 7 (9月 15日) 
What did I read:
日本の歴史366
2 stories yesterday, ~15min
Day 8 (9月 16日)
What did I read:
暁のヨナ, ch.35, about half of it, ~ 15pages
Not very good reading days… yesterday was so busy, I was so sleepy when reading… and today I’ve had a raging migraine, it just won’t go… even mustering strength to read half a chapter or write here is a feat, if I do say so myself 
coming across the tanuki love outpour galore is the only healing tho I feel refreshed~
On a brighter note, I’m one week in askdadjakdj I can’t believe this
It’s all thanks to everyone here being such an inspiration! thank you all! Let’s keep it going!
Will add vocab tomorrow!
It is kind of an offtopic perhaps, but for October I 100% will need to find something to read (because Wadanohara absolutely won’t last for 1.5 months), so I was wondering if somebody here read 鹿の王? If so, did you like it?
あっ！！日本語は上手ですね！
I think mine might have been faulty or something, my wi-fi hasn’t even gotten better (I think it might have got worse). Maybe yours will unlock kanji in your brain that hasn’t even been invented yet, super special secret kanji
Day 16: September 16
What did I read?: 雨と君と
How much did I read?: 45 pages - finished the volume
How long did it take me?: 26 min
I…I finished reading the tanuki manga already??? D:
Need to order the next volume asapppp but there are only 2 volumes total right now I think D:::::
But it was such a cute ending 
Watching the fireworks together at the summer festival <3
Honestly all these last chapters were super cute, I think the tanuki’s cuteness grows more powerful each day
My favorite word of today is ほくほく - being pleased with oneself; beaming happily; chuckling to oneself
Some other good words:
おっしゃる通り (おっしゃるとおり) - I agree with you; it is as (someone) says
些細 (ささい) - trivial; slight (I really like that first kanji, don’t ask me why)
These are some words that I needed in my life
The mental image of that last one is low-key terrifying though?? 
Day 16: September 16th
Satori Reader: Secret, episode 42.
I only read the first volume and half of the second volume. @NicoleRauch read the full thing.
Hmmmmmm
It has moments I really liked (I like the author’s style a lot, actually). However, the viewpoint just keeps jumping between different characters, which is something that really kills my momentum (regardless of the language). That’s why I kinda dropped the second volume 
I’ll get back to it this year, though.
Are you (also?) not sticking to the Wadanohara book club schedule?
There is a second volume of Wadanohara, although maybe you already factored that into your calculation.
