Read:

今度は殺されたくないアザラシさん ch 15 → 20 - now i’m caught up on the series and there haven’t been any new chapters since march I added it to my manga rss feed though, so I will know the second it comes back (if it comes back); I feel pretty comfortable saying this is somewhere around natively 21 maybe even 20, definitely in the scope of the BBC (i’d even say ABBC, it didn’t feel all that much harder than ruri, except no furigana is probably a dealbreaker + some occasional super dense pages). Short chapters, usually 10-15 pages, and mostly pretty common words/vocab. I was barely looking anything up towards the end
aDoBJG - に違いない, にくい

Communing with her bretheren

My secret is that I’m mostly skimming If it’s a structure I already know well I am mostly just reading the key sentence and the extra notes on usage (and then go back to examples if the extra notes mention something that sounds cool/new). I figured that getting ahead wasn’t the worst thing for this club, since I can still follow along with the threads to reinforce stuff later, but I’m not really going out of my way to look for examples or anything. If something pops up in my reading that I’ve seen recently in the dictionary I do take note of it though

・薬屋のひとりごと 9 (35% → 50%)

A combination of things starting to happen in this book and a sliver of procrastinating book clubs got me reading a bit of Kusuriya.

風(かぜ)の谷(たに)のナウシカ

I did not end up having more time yesterday.

Seasons was about various rainy season flowers.

I got through one chapter of JoJo and then had a little time left over. I’m not fond of the next arc, so I switched to Nausicaa.

This time Nausicaa made a lot more sense, which was nice, especially compared with the previous section.

Also it seems like the book club I was reading fukakai with is getting back together this summer, so I’m putting off vol 5 in order to read it with them. Hopefully the club stays together this time. It seems like I’m in charge, so we’re going to have a regular schedule with a backup date in case people can’t make a particular day.

◎６月２１日◎

Turns out the 新装版 of バッテリー are compiled a bit differently, but I think it may mostly just be that ch 12 and 13, which are 番外編, aren’t numbered chapters anymore, since the chapter numbers are two off, and then 新装版⑧ has both halves of that 番外編 while ⑧ only has the first. So I can just start with 8-10 and replace the others whenever. I don’t wanna get them all on MR if I can help it since they’re a bit more on the expensive side, but CDJapan only has 10, so I’ll have to look elsewhere…

Unsurprisingly, I ended up writing a short バッテリー fic today lmao

バッテリー ch 7-20, leaving off halfway through vol 5. Gou is adorable. I think he’s my fave. But ahh, he and Takumi met once when they were toddlers, they were so cute! The 正副キャプテン look totally different in the manga and anime (they even swapped hair colors lmao, and also both gained glasses), but the other characters so far at least still have similar vibes.
summary of バッテリー ep 2-5 on the booklets that come with those volumes of the anime. I have a strong feeling the anime goes past the manga, so I think I’ll just watch and not worry about staying ahead. Like, I knew the anime pacing was terrible, but I’m kind of afraid to know now how many novels got squeezed into 11 episodes…
10 pages of ステージ・オブ・ザ・グラウンド, leaving off on pg 36. I’m now past where I left off last time I tried to read this!

Some vocab of note:

筋金入り (すじがねいり) [n., の-adj.] staunch; hardcore; diehard; dyed-in-the-wool
シートノック [n., する v.] fielding practice
かっか [onomatopoeia, adv., する v.] to lose one’s temper; to get mad; to be upset
明後日 (みょうごにち) [n., adv.] day after tomorrow. Never actually thought I’d see this reading.
嘘っぱち (うそっぱち) [n., の-adj.] downright lie
恩着せがましい (おんきせがましい) [い-adj.] patronizing; condescending; expecting gratitude in return; acting like one is doing someone a favor

Days 71-82 Progress:
わたしが恋人になれるわけないじゃん、ムリムリ! (※ムリじゃなかった!?) 五巻(ごかん) - 26.66% → 77.23%
スローループ - 58話
魔法使いロゼの佐渡ライフ - 8話
踊り場にスカートが鳴る - 18話
陰キャギャルでもイキがりたい！- 8話

As expected, I ended up completely losing my motivation to post during the period I was in DC… I also pretty much completely lost my motivation to read as well…

I had been enjoying this current volume of わたなれ a good amount at first but now it’s kind of lost me. れな子(こ)'s weird idolization of 紫陽花(あじさい) continuing to have an effect aside, I feel like maybe part of it stems from my increasing distance with high school life and the things kids at that age view as ‘important’? Like I inevitably end up feeling less empathy when the main climax of the story is like a sports festival basketball game or something rather than a more significant life turning point. Unfortunately that feeling’ll probably only increase the older I get…

Unrelated but in my free time I’ve been addicted to this new metroidvania called Afterimage. The map is absolutely massive, bigger than even Hollow Knight’s, and I’ve clocked in almost 50 hours and the end isn’t even in sight…

Here’s one last picture of Pagoda.

Word of the Day: 藁(わら)にも縋(すが)る - to grasp at straws. It really is the exact same phrase as in English.

I took several days off for my birthday this past week so I had plenty of time to read I also received another package from amazon japan so that really invigorated me.

I’ve really enjoyed リビングの松永さん but it seems the next five volumes are having stock issues on amazon japan and us kinokuniya. I could try ebay or manga republic I suppose and go used.

The Reading Meadow

June 22nd
新書太閣記 progress: 50.91% // Volume VI: 63.10%

Today’s Bonus Colours

藍色あいいろ - Indigo Colour
(Not pure indigo colour as it has other yellow dyes added to it, it’s more of a mid-dark blue/green)

新橋色しんばしいろ／金春色こんぱるいろ - Shinbashi Colour / Konparu Colour
(A medium-vivid blue with hints of green. In the Shinbashi district of Tokyo there was a geisha house on Konparu street, the geisha there were very fond of this colour and wore it often, so it became well known in the Shinbashi district (it’s easy to see why, it’s a very nice blue).)

錆御納戸さびおなんど - Imperfect Storeroom (Colour)
(A dull grey blue/green (these storeroom colours are all rather similar). The 錆 here is again referring to the concept of 侘び寂び (wabisabi) rather than actually being a rusty colour.)

Words found in a tree stump

陰口「かげぐち」ー Speaking ill of someone behind their back; malicious gossip; slander

aDoBJG - にしては、にする、の1-4, のだ, ので
みかはな週末とりっぷ ch 1, 2 - another freebie (or 10 yen, i actually don’t remember which are which in my queue anymore lol) on bookwalker. It’s josei and the art looked cute, so I figured i’d give it a shot. It’s about a group of adult (mid 20s) girl friends going out on lil short vacation trips together. Feels pretty low stakes, feel-good slice of life, only 2 volumes. Chapters are short, ~15 pages, and no furigana.
came back and read ch 3, 4, and 5

Might read some more today, but gotta clean firrssstt

Also read a page of Saikawa & Moe before I was interrupted. Will have to reread that page tomorrow, so I’m not counting the tiny read into today’s portion for once.

Also watched the new Spiderman movie (spiderverse 2)

My concentration was shot due to getting some bad news last night. It’s not something that hurts me at least, but it’s just really frustrating and tiring.

Seasons was about bamboo or some sort of bamboo festival/practice originating in China? It has to do with growing bamboo. 竹(たけ)植う was how they wrote it I think.

◎６月２２日◎

Urg, reading the バッテリー manga and rewatching the anime is making me wanna read the one novel I have too, but I literally just (re)started Stage of the Ground…

バッテリー ch 21-25, leaving off halfway through vol 6
出会いの日, the first mini manga included with the バッテリー anime, drawn by Shimura Takako, who did the character design for the anime. It’s 2 chapters and covers the first ep.
10 pages of ステージ・オブ・ザ・グラウンド, leaving off on pg 47

Some vocab of note:

ボール球 (ボールだま) [baseball term, n.] ball (as opposed to a strike); pitch outside of the strike zone. I’m used to it just being called a “ball,” so I was like, What.
一世を風靡する (いっせいをふうびする) [expression, する v.] to take the world by storm
