:dragon_face: ใƒซใƒชใƒ‰ใƒฉใ‚ดใƒณ vol. 1 (p. 86 โ†’ p. 98)
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.

  • 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

It gets easier again. I read volume 7 in a week, and Iโ€™m 4 chapters into volume 8.

I think the text density sometimes builds up with background explanations, plus new characters have different speech patterns that take a while to get used to.

read another two chapters of ใƒฏใƒ‹ใƒˆใ‚ซใ‚ฒใ‚ฎใ‚น and still have no idea whatโ€™s going on but thatโ€™s the point so itโ€™s okay. is very easy to read, actually, aside from the occasional odd slang word. one of the tags for it on bookwalker is ๅซŒ(ใใ‚‰)ใ„ใ˜ใ‚ƒใชใ„ which is hilarious to me.

some interesting panels, slight jumpscare type thing in one of them

yikes. yikes.

I read the weekly assignment for a certain grammar club. Of course itโ€™s mostly english therefor I donโ€™t count the pages of it for my reading goal of reading 20000 pages.

Like every day around 10 pages of ใƒœใƒƒใ‚ณใกใ‚ƒใ‚“, some pages in manga magazines and continued playing Sacrifice of the Abyss for Nintendo Switch.

What happened until now? The game started with a young girl Miki being in some strange looking area with her leg being stuck under some pole. The player needs to solve the puzzle and rescue poor Miki.

Miki solved the puzzle by building a machine to lift the pole. Miki chan was rescued and with her injured hurting leg made it out of the room. In the next area she found a door and after solving the next puzzle opened the door. What awaits her behind the door?

I read the 3rd ep from ใ‚ณใƒŠใฎๅคงๅ†’้™บ. I love this story, itโ€™s full of colloquialisms and slang - my favorite. This ep had a medium-level difficulty, although the sentences were too long. The grammar/sentence breakdowns really helped though. ใ‚ณใƒŠ is Adorable, Iโ€™m too excited to read what she ends up doing.

I finally got the monthly subscription because Satori Reader had the spring sale. Going to make the most use of this and finish as many episodes as I can.

Figured out the confusing part! Rereading from the first volume helped. Was confused about characters and their roles.

Funny Furiganaโ„ข๏ธ
Word Reading Furigana Meaning
่ฆ็‚น ใ‚ˆใ†ใฆใ‚“ ใƒใ‚คใƒณใƒˆ gist, main point

Bonus expression: ่ฉฑ(ใฏใชใ—)ใฎ่…ฐ(ใ“ใ—)ใ‚’ๆŠ˜(ใŠ)ใ‚‹ = to interfere, to butt in, to interrupt someone

Story stuff: Character from volume 1 returned. Almost thought Jinshi played the role of that character but it was character playing the role of Jinshi (just this one time). Also Maomao getting (somewhat voluntarily) kidnapped is not the turn of events I expected (even thought it said so in the introduction). But it is cool to see how similar Maomao is to her foster father, as pointed out by Jinshi.

PS. Iโ€™ve edited previous posts with matching tables of furigana words.

ใ‹ใŒใฟใฎๅญคๅŸŽ , 25-29%
ๆŽจใ—ใ€็‡ƒใ‚†, start-15%

I went and started yet another book :see_no_evil: And not only that, but I got the audiobook too, to accompany it.

ๆŽจใ—ใ€็‡ƒใ‚† describes a world very foreign to me: idol fandom. The protagonist also has a peculiar way of expressing her thoughts, or so it seems to me. Iโ€™m finding the book on the hard side, but Iโ€™m interested to see where it goes.

Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™m being objective about it being difficult though. Maybe ใ‹ใŒใฟใฎๅญคๅŸŽ has spoiled me. Maybe Iโ€™m just more distracted today. Weโ€™ll see how tomorrow goes.

Summary post

Day 9: April 9th
What did I read?: ใƒšใƒณใ‚ฎใƒณใƒปใƒใ‚คใ‚ฆใ‚งใ‚ค :penguin:
How much did I read?: 16 pages
How long did it take me?: 55 min

Ah, a summer festival moment, how classic xD ngl though I love summer festival moments, I guess theyโ€™re in everything for a reason This part felt very comfy and easy to read :relieved: Probably because there was nothing weird going on, just Suzuki-kun being a butt as usual xD Apparently he has a crush on Hamamoto, and he expresses those feelings byโ€ฆbullying her (and Aoyama by extension, because heโ€™s actually friends with her). Itโ€™sโ€ฆsomething people do I guess, idk xD Iโ€™m with Aoyama on this one, that whole โ€œoh, heโ€™s bullying her because he likes herโ€ thing has never made any sense to me. Like why is that apparently a โ€œnormalโ€ thing? Canโ€™t even remotely relate to that impulse lmao but anyway

You know what would have been really fun? Penguins crashing the summer festival and like swarming the park. Did that happen? No. Where are the penguins

At least there was a cute penguin on the first page of this chapter xD

8th: *crickets*
:speech_balloon: Komi-san 2 : 2 chapters (I think)
:white_flower: Grammar dictionary, you know the one by now, since so many are reading it. xD

This whole week have been seriously hit or miss. Half the days I didnโ€™t read anything, and half I read two or three things, and only once did I only read one thing.

Anyway, while I enjoy Komi-san, Iโ€™m not sure I can keep using it as my main not-reading-Loopers read. For one, there is only like 1.5 volume more that I own, but more to the point, Komi-san is a slice of life. A funny slice of life with some actual progression most of the time, either by Komi making new friends or deeper characterization of any of the characters.

But there is no real overarching plot, which is a genre feature, rather than a bug. Hereโ€™s the rub: I enjoy slice of life, but not as my main read. And while Loopers is my main main read, since Iโ€™m reading that along with someone and therefore on a weekly schedule, I need another main read.

And one of the important features of my main reads (that I need) is: story. Like real character driven story. (Yes, more than what Komi-san has, which is decent for a slice of life honestly.)

Also, Orange might have temporarily ruined me for how good story can be in manga. :joy:

All this to say, I might have to go digging into my manga collection and look for a fairly easy for me to read story driven manga. (If I knew any historical vocabularyโ€”I donโ€™tโ€”Iโ€™d pick Rurouni Kenshin, butโ€ฆ that would probably be too hard paired with a VN that is very look up heavyโ€ฆ)

Aka, another post with a tl;dr of: Much ado about nothing.
