・４月２４日・

今日は妹の誕生日だった。二十歳になった。なんか、信じられんけど……あいつはもう二十台？ 俺はそろそろ三十台？ 嘘だろ。

• started アタック‼︎ vol 10, reading ch 79-80. Finally some consequences for idiocy lol
• 5 pages of 四畳半神話大系, leaving off on pg 71

[pocketcat]

I finished the week 1 reading for 告白 (we just started and late joiners are welcome ) and wow - this book feels like it will be a whirlwind! I definitely cut the first section at a cliffhanger though Can’t wait for next week’s reading.

April 25th

Definitely slacking on my reading lately, but finished rereading volume 2 of 夜は猫といっしょ and started on volume 3. On page 246 of Chamber of Secrets so another 54 pages until I move onto the second half of the book (the version I’m reading is split into about 300 page volumes, so this is the third book I’ve read despite only being the second book). I’m planning to go to the city and therefore the big bookstore this weekend for my birthday so if I make enough progress I can buy some new books (because everyone knows buying books is more fun that reading them XD)

[ekuroe]

I’m so tempted to join! 告白 is one of the books on my 読みたい list. Seems a bit above my level according to Natively but I’ll read the sample pages and decide

[mitrac]

@prath

Also, now that you mentioned finishing an entire series, I’m too tempted to just stick with Kona’s Big Adventure. I think it’s a great pick for me (especially because it’s about a cat and I love cats )

cool, I haven’t started that one, I’ll be interested what you think! Bonus - there’s a sequel, so a grand choice overall by the sounds of it

Apr 25

告白 0% - 5% (17pg)

I did decide to buy the ebook and join the book club

[Cathm2]

25/4 41 pages シャドーハウス (finished volume 10), 5 pages 夜カフェ, aDoBJG だい

Did well on シャドーハウス but not so much on rest. Better than it could have been as I slept really badly last night and feel washed out today.

I’m intrigued by the mention of the Natively mystery club but I think it’s too much to add to the mix right now.

Apr 23
I read some Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya 3rei vol. 1 manga. Sometimes ago I watched the anime in japanese so I already know what happens but I still like the manga more than the anime. Also read some pages in magazines.

6864 pages read

25th april

home post

took quite a while but a finally finished case 3! seems like we’re really getting into the plot! and also jumping around the timeline again… the first chunk of the case dragged a lot for me but i really enjoyed the last third or so. most of the words i don’t know are coming from shi-long’s dialogue, but weirdly not always cos they’re colloquial. sometimes they’re just too specific for me to have seen before.

words that stood out: 火薬(かやく) (gunpowder. idk i quite like that), 格闘(かくとう) (hand to hand fight, scuffle, grappling with (a problem)), 赤(あか)の他人(たにん) (complete/total stranger), 隠滅(いんめつ) (destruction (of evidence etc.), suppression), and 七不思議(ななふしぎ) which can mean seven wonders but can also mean total mystery or enigma, which is how it was used here.

The Reading Meadow

April 25th
新書太閣記 progress: 31.95% // Volume IV: 58.48%

Today’s Bonus Colours
海老茶えびちゃ - Grape / Crayfish Brown
(Originally known as grape brown (an outdated reading of 葡萄 is えび) but the meaning has changed over time to be crayfish brown. This is due to crayfish being more common to the average Japanese person than wild grapevines in more modern times. The colour is specifically that of the 伊勢海老「いせえび」(Japanese Spiny Lobster).)

銀朱ぎんしゅ - Vermilion (Pigment)
(True vermilion is cinnabar in its raw state, whereas this vermilion is vermilion pigment made artificially using mercury.)

I finished 3 chapters from コナの大冒険!

The voice actor is doing a great job with Kona’s narration haha. Now that Kona’s backstory came to an end, I hope the sad parts are all over.

I’m starting to notice that my reading speed might have increased just a little bit? Usually I’d feel so mentally exhausted after reading a few pages in Japanese, but now I don’t feel that tired.

I bought another manga today. I couldn’t resist (plus I had too many coins on Bookwalker ). This one is a Yuri called - and we know enough by now to ignore bizzare titles - 親がうるさいので後輩と偽装結婚してみた。Otherwise known as “I Married My Best Friend To Shut My Parents Up”. I don’t remember if someone already talked about this, but I had the translated version with me and I just wanted to read a Yuri in Japanese even if it was a little advanced. I’m hoping to read it after I finish the first volume of よつばと.

words

• 引き取る [ひきとる] - to take over; to take back; to collect; to claim
• 願う [ねがう] - to desire; to wish; to hope
• ほっと - feeling relieved; (sigh of) relief
• 精一杯 [せいいっぱい] - with all one’s might; to the best of one’s ability
• 袋 [ふくろ] - bag; sack; pouch
• 悲しい [かなしい] - sad; sorrowful
• 揺る [ゆる] - to shake; to jolt; to rock
• 加える [くわえる] - to add; to add up; to sum up; to append
• 新鮮 [しんせん] - fresh
• 用意 [ようい] - preparation; arrangements; provision; getting ready
• 隅 [すみ] - corner; nook; recess
• 探検 [たんけん] - exploration; expedition

Apr 25, Tue of Week 5 of Spring Q2 2023

• aDoJG/Basic : ば - ばよかった

I remembered ばかり being a wide grammar point on Maggie Sensei. Did ばかりではなく～も get lost? (Mentioned in だけではなく～も, nonetheless.)

ばよかった works well when compared with テよかった. (Must admit that I disliked grammar point naming.)

I can’t find 兼(か)ねる / 兼(か)ねない on aDoJG/Basic. Seems to meaning both, including, and reluctant to do.

Day 25, 4 月 25 日

Back to my Home Post

Tileworld Chronicles - Aryn’s Rescue, p. 1 - 10
Reread up to page 10, still a bit away from where I stopped last time. I think I might trust myself with more than just one page a day from now on.

The old man talks in a really funny way, using じゃ instead of だ or です. I haven’t seen it used by anyone else in the story (that I’ve noticed), so maybe this quirk will be important later?

The last few days I had no time to post here in the evening (or forgot ). So I make up for it now.

April 25th!

Just a small read today - 3 chapters of Chi’s Sweet Home.
Although the text is very sparse, I’m still trying to get the hang of Chi’s baby talk! Its getting a little easier with practise though.

・薬屋のひとりごと 5 (47% → 49%)

Today was busy, so just a tiny read. But there was cat, that made me happy :3
三毛猫(みけねこ) = calico cat

@Redglare

三毛猫(みけねこ) = calico cat

OMG thank you! I once read a manga that features a calico cat, and the cat is called ミケ but I never expected it to have any significance

日本語500問N3・pg 35
Sat down to finish the second half of day 3 when I found out Honkai Star Rail is actually dropping today and not tomorrow I highly doubt I’ll finish the rest of day three, so I’m making this post now. Hopefully I don’t drop off the face of the earth

日本語基本文法辞典・だけ pg 95
I plan to finish typing out the rest of this week’s reading, mark it up and watch a few videos about the grammar points and then re-do my notes.

二ノ国白き聖灰の女王・宮殿からの脱出
It was nice to get back to the main story, though I feel like working on the side quests prepared me better for the next part of the main quest.
