May 24th!
Today I read the final chapter of the final volume of Mitsuboshi Colors. I’ve been reading this with an offshoot club ever since it was an ABBC pick in November 2021 - so while it always feels good to finish a series, I’m also a little sad that its over!
I also did a tiny bit of unexpected reading! My sister in law bought an item of clothing that was made in Japan, and asked if I could read the care label for her. I needed a bit of help from a dictionary because there were quite a few kanji I didn’t recognise, and I double checked what I read with a translator since I didn’t want to get anything wrong but I was able to get the gist of the instructions so I was quite pleased with myself.
