Today was Ruri day!! This weekโ€™s pages were super fun and easy. I read around 10 pages and a little more. Added quite a lot of words to Bunpro (and forgot to list them down again)

Anyways, I feel a little energetic today (did not have anything to do with the high caffeine espresso shot), so I might read a few pages from ใ‚ˆใคใฐใจ as well!

todayโ€™s reading: ใƒซใƒชใƒ‰ใƒฉใ‚ดใƒณ pgs: 80-89

man ruri dragon wears me out haha. it is definitely above my level, but iโ€™m officially halfway through! iโ€™m not gonna give up :muscle: iโ€™m assuming reading such a difficult text will be good experience i hope haha even if i have to depend so much on the book club.

not doing vocab for ruri dragon, because most of what i come across in it is new vocab! lol

Yay, you got this! :+1:

Thatโ€™s exactly what the book clubs are for! Donโ€™t worry, the first (couple of) book(s) is hard for everybody, but if you stick with it, youโ€™ll soon be the one to answer the questions :blush:

And donโ€™t worry about vocab, the important ones will stick automatically after a while, and at some point you may want to study some words more in-depth, or not. Just go with the flow and enjoy :smiley:

I started to read ใ‚ใชใŸใซๆ‹ใ—ใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹ on the 5th and have been reading that each day. I picked it up since I thought the cover looked cute without really doing any research on what the book was actually about it. Itโ€™s ended up being a very simple romance story.

I also read a little bit of 9-nine for the VN club. Iโ€™ll probably end up finishing this weekโ€™s assignment tomorrow or Monday since I will be busy for most of today.

Iโ€™ll be at the con today too! I am hoping to come back with a lot of nice merch :partying_face:

ๅ››็•ณๅŠ็ฅž่ฉฑๅคง็ณป, 5-9%
ใ‹ใŒใฟใฎๅญคๅŸŽ , 20-25%

I finished this weekโ€™s portion of ๅ››็•ณๅŠ็ฅž่ฉฑๅคง็ณป. Itโ€™s fun and crazy so far, but definitely not a fast read with the amount of words I need to look up.
Maybe because of that, ใ‹ใŒใฟใฎๅญคๅŸŽ felt much more pleasant today. It was refreshing to understand sentences without having to reread them and look up every other word in them. :joy:

This weeks reading was over way too fast. :sweat_smile:

:closed_book: ใƒใƒ”ใƒใ‚น vol. 1 (p. 1 โ†’ p. 88)
I started to read this Manga, because the first three volumes are currently free on bookwalker. The only thing I knew about it, is that it was read in the absolute beginner book club at some point. I didnโ€™t know anything about the story. And let me tell you, it was not what I expected of a manga called happiness. Beginning with the murder, then with the somewhat sexual content and then turning into a vampire story. I guess it all felt somewhat wrong because the absolute beginner book club is reading Ruri dragon at the moment and I expected happiness to be somewhat like that. A cute little story lol
Edit: And yeah, I totally donโ€™t know which emoji I should use without it being a potential spoiler. So it only gets a generic one. [Edit end]

Unfortunately today I was not able to read more of 999. I guess tomorrow wonโ€™t be possible as wellโ€ฆmaybe on monday.

8/4 30 pages ใ‚ทใƒฃใƒ‰ใƒผใƒใ‚ฆใ‚น, 16 pages Spy Family (finished mission 33, started next)

Got a bit of reading on my first flight home today. Much more flying tomorrow evening onwards.

Tomorrow I have a free day in Oman - was planning a long adventure driving somewhere. Iโ€™m probably downgrading it to a shorter adventure as Iโ€™m tired +++

So ใƒใƒ”ใƒใ‚น gets quite dark, and I think that put a few people off continuing. But it was actually the first manga I read I think. I only joined in late, for the same reason you did - first 3 volumes free. I ended up reading way ahead of the club, and read up to 2 volumes in one day. First manga series I completed. I loved the art, though it was disturbing at times. See how you feel after youโ€™ve read the first/ second volumes.

April 8th!

Today I read Chapter 71 of Shadows House.
Iโ€™m still finding it a tough read recently, its definitely gotten harder since the first volume!
But the story has gotten so interesting that there is no way Iโ€™m dropping it. :grin:

Missed :upside_down_face:

Day 8: April 8th
What did I read?: ใƒšใƒณใ‚ฎใƒณใƒปใƒใ‚คใ‚ฆใ‚งใ‚ค :penguin:
How much did I read?: 12 pages
How long did it take me?: 56 min

I canโ€™t believe I had to miss two more days already :sob: :sob: When will work stop actively trying to kill me (answer is probably never)

But yeah I somehow ended up working 12 hour days on Thursday and Friday, which I did not intend on doing. I finished working at 9pm both nights, so I had a whole hour of decompression time before bed, which I mainly spent trying to recalibrate by curling up in my blanket poncho and staring at the TV. (I love my blanket poncho, hands down my favorite thing Iโ€™ve ever bought)

Today was better xD I am almost officially halfway through this book :muscle: I like it but it is a bit slow imo. Iโ€™m not sure if itโ€™s more my reading speed thatโ€™s making it feel slow, or the book itself thatโ€™s slow lol. BUT another penguin did make an appearance, along with a tiny blue whale? :whale2: cuteee D: Things are slowly starting to become more connected but it still feels like weโ€™re a while from fully unraveling everything.

ใƒป๏ผ”ๆœˆ๏ผ˜ๆ—ฅใƒป

  • 31 pages of ใ‚ตใƒžใƒผใ‚ตใ‚คใƒ€ใƒผ, leaving off on pg 203. Well this section was uh, something. Multiple somethings, actually.
    I think the Suzumu in this story is the same as the one in 2.43 (aside from that there are no supernatural elements in 2.43). At least, Higura was described as being ็‰‡็”ฐ่ˆŽ and seems like itโ€™s in the same area as Monshiro, Nanafu, and Fukui-shi. They take a taxi to Mikuni, which isnโ€™t too far northwest of Fukui-shi, and over halfway through the book this is the closest weโ€™ve gotten to actually saying where this is set: ไธ‰ๅ›ฝใฏ็œŒๅŒ—้ƒจใฎๆธฏ็”บใ . Also itโ€™s funny that ็ซถ่‰‡ doesnโ€™t get furi, but on the next page ๅ…ญ่‰‡ does. Itโ€™s the same reading, and the only one it has.
Some vocab of note:

ๅฎšๅนด (ใฆใ„ใญใ‚“) [n.] retirement age
่ˆŸๅˆธ (ใตใชใ‘ใ‚“) [n.] boat race betting ticket
ๆทกๆฐด (ใŸใ‚“ใ™ใ„) [n.] fresh (non-saline) water
้‡Žๆฌกใ‚’้ฃ›ใฐใ™ (ใ‚„ใ˜ใ‚’ใจใฐใ™) [expression, ใ‚ตไบ”] to heckle; to jeer
ๆฐด้ฃ›ๆฒซ (ใฟใšใ—ใถใ) [n.] splash (of water); spray
่™ซใฎๅฑ…ใฉใ“ใ‚ใŒๆ‚ชใ„ (ใ‚€ใ—ใฎใ„ใฉใ“ใ‚ใŒใ‚ใ‚‹ใ„) [expression, ใ„-adj.] irritable; bad-tempered
ๆœช็ทด (ใฟใ‚Œใ‚“) [n., ใช-adj.] lingering attachment; lingering affection; regret; reluctance; ruefulness. Here Iโ€™d thought it was โ€œunpracticedโ€โ€ฆ

I read a lot again today since I didnโ€™t have much going on. Yay lazy weekend!

  • ใจใชใ‚Šใฎๆ€ช็‰ฉใใ‚“ 1 (pages 130-finish). I rather liked the last chapter. Maybe Iโ€™ll continue the series sometime after all.
  • ใƒžใ‚ฎ๏ผ—(pages39-92) This has been getting much harder in this arc I think. The politics and the back and forth arguing are really slowing me down here. Iโ€™m still quite liking it though so I plan to keep steadily powering through.
  • ใƒใ‚งใƒณใ‚ฝใƒผใƒžใƒณ๏ผ‘๏ผ‘ (90-finish) Oh man. That was a ride. Looking forward to the next arc.
  • ๆœชๆฅๆ—ฅ่จ˜๏ผ‘ Iโ€™ve had this one for over a year now and I finally read the first volume. So far Iโ€™m liking it. Rather twisted as I expected. :laughing:
