Yesterday I read the first chapter of ヲタクに恋は難しい since it was free on BookWalker! Did not look anything up, so since I watched the anime and read the manga in English before, I knew I was missing most parts xD Still really proud of what I could read and how much faster I can read Japanese now ^^
Day 7: July 5th
At library after work.

・無理をお願いする（4 pages)
Not much time today, need to prep for an interview and go to a work dinner thing, so just 4 pages again. But the point is to just read every day! So I will still consider this a win~
Edit: Read to the end of the chapter in 精霊の守り人 before bed.
Thanks, I went looking for it and couldn’t find it. I remember see that cover and instantly dismissing it as not the book for some reason. 
Thanks, glad people can enjoy them. It’s been good revisiting Yotsuba in Japanese.
For Polar Bear Cafe, I’ll probably do it differently and make a single post per volume/week.
Read 3 more pages of IBC. Yesterday story was good so in the end I read more than planned and today I can take it slowly.
It’s been a while! Here’s to a new month of reading goodness. 
1.7.
I finished chapter 2 of 私の押しは悪役令嬢, bringing me to a bit over two thirds through the book. I’m still enjoying it.
2.7.
I read a little bit more of 私の押しは悪役令嬢, and then decided to start a new book, 青の王, yet another one by 銭天堂 author 廣嶋玲子. This one is aimed at a bit of an older audience, I believe, maybe middle school? I think it’s about the same as 妖怪の子預かります in terms of language difficulty/target audience. There’s less oldish Japan feel and language, but more fantasy world feel and language. If that makes sense. 
3.7
I didn’t read that day! I went camping, and between the preparations for that and the actual camping, I was quite busy relaxing by other means. 
4.7.
I read a few more chapters of 青の王 and a chapter of からかい上手の高木さん.
5.7.
Same as yesterday - I finished からかい上手の高木さん volume 1. It’s cute, but unless it’s free I won’t be continuing this one.
I’ve plans to read a bit more tonight, maybe. Maybe.
Day 35 
コーヒーが冷めないうちに , 5 pages.
Today IBC as planned 
wanted to do some Satori Reader too but I have no more brain power.
Summary post
July 5 Somehow found myself playing minecraft for hours.
・Started the last side story of SAO 8. (p 361 → 370)
・Finished Kono Oto Tomare vol. 4
I don’t think I’ve recovered yet 
Read some sentences in my visual novels. I wanted to start reading a new manga but it seems all the manga I tried reading were much harder than the ones I already read.
Okay which videogame should I play?
- Famikom Detective Club
- Fate Extra CCC
- Soul Sacrifice Delta
- Idolm@ster
- Sol Trigger
- Grandia 2
- Black Rock Shooter The Game

Most people probably don’t even know the games on that list lol.
Grandia 2 is great! 
Yeah I played it in english a long time ago but never finished it. I will definitely replay it in japanese one day.
Yesterday was busy! Readingwise, I reread the first half of chapter 2 kikis on preparation for the bookclub (then did that), and also did the reading section of an N4 mock test haha. The only new reading I did was about half a chapter of ハイキュー while I was giving blood. Given that I had only one hand free I wasn’t looking up anything, but it was still enjoyable and distracting enough.
Today I also had a lot of things to get done, so I just finished off ハイキュー3 (rest of last chapter and mini comic at end). Haven’t met my one (non-reread) chapter per day goal on either day but still feels good to at least read a little 
hopefully I should be a bit more free the rest of this week！
Read about 10-15 pages of 1Q84 book 2 before I got bored (around an hour total, up to page 55).
I usually set a goal of an hour plus a day of reading so if I can hit that target before my attention wanes, I’m happy.
I have plans to play Famikom Detective Club on Super Famicom so I recommend that. 
Day 35: July 5th
What did I read?: 不可解なぼくのすべてを Vol. 4 and 5
How much did I read?: 324 pg (2 volumes - yes, you read that correctly, I finished both in one day 
)
How long did it take me?: 6.5 hours-ish
I can’t believe I finished this series today 
I probably should have been cleaning my apartment instead, but :x I seriously could not stop though! I think this is officially the most Japanese I’ve ever read in one day, I never thought I would be able to finish a whole manga volume in a day (let alone two volumes!). But this series was sooo good. What an emotional ride these last 2 volumes were, my goodness. Sakura showed up and everything got so intense so fast 
Knowing this series, I had a suspicion that everything would work out ok in the end, but that didn’t stop me from getting emotional when it finally did :') Now my brain is very exhausted 
1Q84 Book 2: 20 pages in an hour, up to 75 now. Honestly that’s a record for me. This last month reading the first book, I managed about 10 an hour. Doubling that is massive, to me. Feels like I fell into a reading trance, to be honest.
Oh, I also finished the end of Volume 2 of Berserk and the entirety of Volume 3 today so that’s also swell.
Had a good manga day yesterday. Finished the last half of 五等分の花嫁 4. Then I just randomly started reading 魔都精兵スレイブ 1 as I browsed the temporarily ‘free’ books. I just thought it had nice art, but it got kinda weird . Surprised myself by reading the whole volume almost on one sitting. I guess Shounen manga has a bit less text, but still.
Also maybe read like 5-10% of はめふら 2, which is nearly done. Some repetition there towards the end, which makes it slightly long-winded.
Day 35
I broke my record yesterday–meant to read in the evening, but ended up with a glass of wine instead 
My plan is to make up my lost day(s?) after the challenge deadline passes!!
Read a little over half of chapter 2 in ぼくはイエローでホワイトでちょっとブルー. All I can say is that reading this book is honestly such a challenge. I noticed a few of the kanji I looked up are actually coming in the next level of WK, so hopefully that helps.
Summary
- 蘇る = To be resurrected, to be recalled (memories).
- 稽古 = Practice, training
- 射止める = (1)to shoot dead/bring down an animal, (2)to win (a prize, a role, someone’s heart, etc.)
