went into my bookwalker backlog and picked up ใฏใ็ท็ต and read chapter one. i was expecting it to be entirely comedy and/or food, which it was, except for the random wildlife snippet in the middle. but, that did send me down a rabbit hole of hippos fighting off crocodiles/alligators and the diet of baboons (turns out they can eat small antelope and monkeys! not their main source of food tho).

Kinda cooling off on ๅฃฐๅชใฉใธใช - Its attempts to get me to sympathize with hardcore parasocial idol/seiyuu otaku are ineffective at best and downright irritating at worst. Getting personally offended that a seiyuuโs โshowbiz personalityโ is different from their real personality is frankly ridiculous-- doesnโt Japan have their whole concept of ๅปบๅ?
The book Iโm currently reading is from Amazon and theyโve updated their Kindle books to no longer be rippable as epubs so Iโm forced to be stuck with the Kindle reader (which is fine, I guessโฆ just annoying) and imprecise percentages.
Word of the Day: ๆคๆ - anger; rage; resentment. It just sounds like an onomatopoeia, honestly. I can imagine an anime character going ใตใใฌ~ with steam coming out of their ears.
Still taking care of the dachshund so here is a picture of him:
Been extremely busy these past few weeks with my job and life, but I somehow managed to retain a routine of studying Japanese, with reading and listening everyday, although with a bit slower pace.
I managed to finish the light novel ๅคใธใฎใใณใใซใใใใชใใฎๅบๅฃ. Lots of new vocabulary and quite an interesting story, so it was a good and useful reading experience.
Iโve also been reading ใชใณใชในใปใชใณใคใซ manga on and off these weeks. It is great for relaxing, and the individual stories in the manga arenโt that long so I can finish one story pretty quickly.
From now on I plan to start reading ใณใณใใไบบ้. From the older posts Iโve seen here, it looks like it will be a good story so I will give it a try

One of the more frustrating things about reading Japanese: when you see a kanji and know that you know it but canโt think of the reading or the meaning so you look it up only to find it was something you learnt ages ago.

(่็ฟซใใใใใwas the haiku name of the Osaka-born Kabuki actor: ไธไปฃ็ฎ ไธญๆ ๆญๅณ่ก้ใใใใ ใใ ใชใใใ ใใใใใใNakamura Utaemon III. Since it was one of his favourite colours to wear it became known as โShikan Brownโ. And in case you are wondering how many more Nakamura Utaemonโs there are the latest Nakamura Utaemon VI died in 2001 (and was a very famous and well renowned Kabuki actor). I couldnโt find if there was a 7th generation, but perhaps he is biding his time for the right time to return.)
(This brown is slightly darker, and not quite as red, as the crimson cypress colour, but they are both very similar)
(Kakishibu is a type of dye that is made from the fermentation of astringent persimmons, which are picked when still green then mushed into a liquid and left to ferment. Itโs a medium reddy-orange brown colour.)

Missed, dang it Things I did instead include repotting two of my plants, watering all of my plants (which is like 30 plants, for those who donโt know ), and four loads of laundry (including the clothes I bought online a month ago but didnโt unpack/try on until yesterday). Ngl, Iโve been kind of crushing it in the โdoing things Iโve been putting offโ department the past couple days. If I had like one more day off, Iโd be able to fully clean my apartment too Should I have prioritized that? Maybe, but Iโm taking the position that all of these things needed to be done at some point so anything done is good

Omg, I finally finished Penguin Highway
I have to say Iโm sort of justโฆrelieved itโs over, I feel like this book was so laggy - if my reading speed were any slower, I would have given up before I reached the end, I think. As it was, I feel like I started skim-reading more toward the end (to the extent that I can do that) because I just wanted to get to the end already. The climax was fairly interesting (and involved a lot of penguins ) but I was kind of left with the feeling ofโฆhaving expected more, for such a long journey to get there. I donโt know. The โbig revealโ of Onee-san not being human didnโt feel that dramatic because likeโฆyes? weโve known something is weird about her for like 300 pages now? And we donโt really get any answers beyond that - like, what was she? Why was she there? I feel like I expected something more to be revealed that would tie things all together, and โOnee-san isnโt humanโ was not enough to do that for me. It just felt like something I already knew.
I donโt know, Iโm kind of surprised I didnโt like it more. But I think part of the problem was that I came in expecting something more dramatic and/or plot-driven and this was not that. Like, half the book was not dealing with the supernatural stuff much at all, and the supernatural elements were sitting around in the background of the story for so long that it all began to feel a bit mundane. I expected more to happen, with a premise of โrandom penguins show up in town.โ I do think I would have liked it more if it were so darn long and drawn out, I can definitely see myself liking this better as a movie.
Hereโs something neat, though - when I started this book, my average reading speed was ~0.14 pages/min (so ~7 minutes per page). Looking at the last few reading sessions, my average reading speed has been ~0.31 pages/min (so ~3 minutes per page). Thatโs likeโฆdouble the reading speed Hopefully I did that math correctly I hope this is actually a sign of me getting faster and not just a sign of me getting familiar with the bookโs language and wanting to skim toward the end
Pagoda Oh my goodness I love him
Iโve read 2 of the 3 assigned sections for this weekโs ใฌใใซ๏ผ. Might finish it tonight, see how I feel. I also read the first chapter of a ๆฑ้ๅญๅพ short story in an anthology I have just for kicks, and then sat and pondered what is the difference between a short story and a short novel when you have chapters It doesnโt help that this short story is ~70 pages long and ๆจใ is ~100 and a novelโฆwith no chapters.
Also reading ๆฑ้ๅญๅพ again after so long as interesting. Now that Iโve read a lot of authors and some authors multiple times I can really sense their โvoiceโ when I read their writing. A โhello old friendโ kind of feeling, so long as you like the author, I suppose.
Many things Iโve seen in idol culture suggest a bizarre sense of entitlement. I think any โvisibleโ time theyโre expected/demanded to be in-character.
Yeah, I kind of had that same feeling reading it. I read it during a phase of โI will read the popular books to see why theyโre popularโ and came away from that one thinking it was probably popular mostly due to being a easily accessible, lengthier childrenโs book. Itโs cute, but it drags, and I very much felt the difference between the intended audience (preteen boys) and me

I read another chapter from Ruri Dragon. So close to completing my first manga (although only the first volume)!
ใป๏ผๆ๏ผ๏ผๆฅใป
ๆ กไบ (ใใใใใ) [n., ใใ verb] proofreading completed. And here I learn ๆ ก doesnโt just mean โschool.โ
ๅธฐ็ (ใใใ) [n., ใใ verb] returning to oneโs hometown; returning to oneโs hometown and visiting oneโs parents. This showed up in a Lingo Mastery story and was defined merely as โgoing homeโ or something else unnuanced like that, but I never looked it up to see if it was specific-use or just returning home in general since I read it early on, when J-J dictionaries still intimidated me. But it showed up in ใใ้ฃฏ today, so I looked it up and now I finally have my answer.
ใขใท [n.] means of transportation. This is the same ใใ as ่ถณ, though it appeared here as furi for ่ป.

So, somehow, despite all odds and being behind 12 chapters with 3 days left, I have finished all of ๅๆใฏๅใฎๅ in ๅๆ! with a day to spare even!
like actually for real, if you havenโt read/watched or arenโt familiar with the plot yet this is like at the crux of the story
Thereโs a moment in chapter 40 that I donโt think iโd ever noticed in the anime: when watari and kousei are going to visit kaori in the hospital and she is having some kind of seizure when they arrive, thereโs a full page of panels watching kaoriโs hands as they grip the bars on the hospital bed and then go limp before theyโre kicked out. In the anime I donโt remember if she does this, but the very last thing she does with her hand before it goes limp in the manga is clutch the bar like a violin bow

I only read a little bit of the Fate Kaleid Prisma Drei manga vol. 1. The manga is not hard but there are some rarer words used especially by Gilgamesh, which I had to look up.

read another chapter of ใฏใ็ท็ต and uh, i know manga of this kind can be formulaic but this was almost identical to the previous chapter. at least there was more good animal art (except for the rabbit, he can look pretty uncanny sometimes).
