It’s been a while since my last update since life got a bit busier lately, but the most important thing is that I’ve kept reading for the whole time (´｡• ω •｡`)

Read 5 more pages of Forbidden Scrollery(29/153, about 19%). Completed the first chapter, yay. Also I’ve finished reading at 23:59, almost didn’t make it in time (technically). Gonna take a bath and watch YT, as it been several days without Touhou Mincraft videos. But it will be tomorrow (technically).
Phrase of the day is definitely
その時はその時 【そのときはそのとき】[exp] we’ll cross that bridge when we get there; we’ll think about it when the time comes
Oh. That explains why ichi.moe didn’t find anything.
And it seems confusion is quite common as google displays “縁起” when you ask it for “緑起”.

You should be fine.

I’ll fight by your side because I feel exactly the same too!
Like how can it be the next day when I’m still awake? Time means nothing, going to bed and sleeping (or trying to sleep) does. ^___^

Let’s make a rule that for every page we read, we have to do a burpee/push-up/something

Day 17 
Satori Reader: Kiki-Mimi Radio, Episode 23.
I was enjoying this series quite a bit already but these last episodes that approach the finale are great and the voice acting is really good. I always read the episode first while I check for any words that I don’t know and the grammar notes. Then I add those words to their SRS (cause why use anything else anyway) and once I finish one sentence however long it may be, I think of a translation to see if I understood it the right way. Right after that I check their translation and compare it to mine, and if it’s anything different I try to think about why. Then once I’m done analyzing the whole episode with nothing left to dissect, I reread the whole thing without stopping on anything, because if the previous step has been done correctly there’s really nothing to stop for. And then once I’ve read it twice, I listen to it another couple of times.
I really like the voice acting with the sound effects, they do a very good job of pulling you into the story. It’s great to give the characters a certain voice, or to compare it to whatever you imagined it to be, etc.
I’m thinking that because of Satori Reader I might get into audiobooks, they’ve been a nice surprise for me. Although I like to read it before listening to it; I wonder if there’s any other service that lets you read and listen when you purchase one? (For Japanese)

Day 17: June 17th
What did I read?: サメーズ 
How much did I read?: 41 pages
How long did it take me?: 34 min
Well, I felt inspired by the earlier conversation about the sharks, and my other shark books were still sitting on my end table, so…here we are xD Lots of new sea creature names in the first part of this book. They’re all written in katakana, but sometimes it’s fun to look at the kanji.
For example: 提灯鮟鱇 (ちょうちんあんこう) - literally carry in hand, lamp, anglerfish, anglerfish (why are there apparently 2 kanji that mean anglerfish lmao)
And a new kind of fish I’ve never heard of: 団子魚 (だんごうお) - literally a freaking dango fish xD
They do pretty much look like dango, though xD Look at these little weirdos

June 17 Update
Today, I finished up the last chapter of 進撃の巨人, and man was that a tough one. While there was a decent amount of action in this chapter, I still ended up with about 141 new words. It took about 3.5 hours to read, and there were some really dense places (in particular, when they started explaining the biology of the 巨人 and how to kill them – this was really technically dense, and I probably encountered almost half of the new words from that part alone. Like I said when I finished the last chapter, it’s like reading ハイキュー！！'s first chapter all over again: very difficult and slow going, but also very interesting. I have a lot more stamina than I did back then so it’s not nearly as exhausting, and pushing through is significantly easier. I honestly only meant to read 10 pages today, but then the technical jargon started (love me some technical jargon) and then people were being eaten and then the chapter ended so…
Anyway, that’s the fourth book I’ve finished with this challenge, and that’s super motivating. It’s officially time for me to select new books to read (since the only two I originally chose that I still have left are book club books). I didn’t expect to finish these four so quickly, so I guess that means I can be a bit more ambitious with the next few.
Books:
- 明日、私は誰かのカノジョ（１）
- ホリミヤ（１）
- トニカクカワイイ（１）
- ナルト（３）
- 僕のヒーローアカデミア（１）
- 君の名は
I hope most of these are simpler than the last two chapters of 進撃の巨人 have been or I’ll have very little chance of actually finishing these within a reasonable time…

Have not read as much as I’d like in this week and my streak is gone but I’m still here.

Decided to change the way I reply, so that instead of replying to the main post, I would be replying to my previous posts, which is a system a lot of people use 
Anyway, today I’ve read:
- Today’s NHK Easy News.
- Some more はたらく細胞 light novel. Finished reading second chapter. Started reading third chapter. Reached page 64.

Read some more of Yotsuba volume 8 last few days. Given me the weekend to finish off the remaining chapters. All good stuff so far. Makes me want to see some rain now.
chapter 51
Loved how they just named their cafe フランス人 and even made shirts, it’s definitely a thing I can see Fuuka push on others. The decision to go for poundcake was not that great lol. It’s cute seeing Yotsuba be so disappointed by it and even refusing to call it a cake. Everyone wants to please Yotsuba, so they even buy her a strawberry crepe, but the damage is already done.
chapter 52
One of the chapters that again show how Yotsuba really likes the rain. Even got the dad to join in on it and gives one of the best panels so far. The downtime spend with the neighbors is cute and makes the ending stick so much. Also the Ayase dad is probably stuck at work in this weather, now that I think about it lol.
chapter 53
Just a fun chapter all way through. Jumbo and Yotsuba is always a good combination. I wonder if Jumbo is the type that classifies 怪獣, like he did with Yotsuba’s drawing. I appreciate it as I learned what an アロサウルス is. Whenever Yanda gets involved things spiral out of control, poor dad.

Finished my good good bird boy Nageki’s route, making that one playthrough of はーとふる彼氏! 
I got teary-eyed lmaoooo
I do like how Valentine’s Day is マメンタイン (mame-ntines because you give birds beans instead of chocolate, of course).

Well, the last part of the book was mostly action+tea and dorayaki. So it was easy-ish to keep away from snacks while reading.
Anyway, it’s still smack in the middle of a story arc. Said story is getting much more involved than in the first book or so. At the same time, I did enjoy the “slow life” part from the beginning more, I think. Hopefully things calm down after everything is resolved.

June 16 + 17 + 18: Read and finished the third story from the 理髪店 book. This one was a bit harder to read for me initially, so it got a bit dragged out. Also, at first I did not engage with it as much as with the second story. But then there was a nice plot twist which made it very interesting and also a bit mysterious

Day 18
I finished another chapter! Chapter 9 in カラフル. I had actually read 3/4 of it this morning, but went back (late) tonight to read the last bit.
Too sleepy to post today’s words, but will be sure to update in tomorrow’s post

Today I read about 8 more pages of Forbidden Scrollery, completing 37/153 (24%) pages total.
Phrase of the day:
虫食い算 (girls were discussing letter eating bug (“虫食い算はまさに字喰い虫の仕業ね”))
And ねこかみこ uploaded 3rd episode about Create mod.
And though it’s only 8 minutes long(so rare to see videos not stretched to be 10 minutes long) I had to pause and consult with ichi.moe almost at every phrase.
Like “作業環境のさらなる拡張をしてこうかと思います”, “丸投げするスタイル”, “ざっくり言えば水車より上位互換の動力ですかね”
So it took at least an hour to decipher.
