August 5
- 文豪ストレイドッグス21 (1/2 ch92 → 3/4 ch92) (it was a really thick fragment)
- 乙女ゲームの破滅フラグしかない悪役令嬢に転生してしまった…5 (62% → 64%)
I think I still read too little to have a strong opinion on this, but do you mean the “Japanese fiction is slower” version or “the important stuff happens in different places” version?

I finished the first volume of それでも彼らは嘘をつく.
Already started the next manga (25 pages) イモリ２０１. It’s about a guy and he’s neighbor, a clumsy girl Inori, who managed to destroy the wall separating their rooms, during training.

I mean the “important stuff happens in different places” version but it’s not like I have read enough to know at all haha. Have just seen a few people saying that.

Day 67 
Satori Reader: Secret, Episode 21.
Today was officially going to be my first missed day, because I’ve been completely in the dumps after the second vaccine with high fever and no will nor drive to do anything at all the whole day. Luckily I’m already feeling better, the fever subsided for now and I could finally sneak in today’s episode. What a day, egh.

Day 67: August 6th
What did I read?: 地縛少年 花子くん Vol 1 and 日本のお城
How much did I read?: 26 pages (1 chapter) and 2 pages (1 castle)
How long did it take me?: 1 hour 3 min and 32 min
Time for Hanako is once again a bit off, since I was vocab sheeting it up while reading (lol). Hopefully someone is actually using the vocab sheet xD (honestly though, even if not, the process of filling it out is weirdly soothing, so I don’t really mind doing it when I have the time and someone else has not already done it lol). The spirit world place inside the stair is super cool looking…

Just read 50 more pages of イモリ２０１ manga. I am slowly getting used to reading manga in japanese, right now reading 50 manga pages a day is pretty easy. Of course I still don’t understand every sentence but I understand enough to follow the story line.

Satori Reader: Secret, Episode 22.
I’m having double thoughts about this series. Some episodes are pretty nice, and some others seem a bit boring. I’m not enjoying it overall as much as the others I’ve read before, but I still want to give it a chance to see if it gets progressively better.
@Aislin Perhaps this is the part that you told me about? Since you mentioned that even with that you liked the series, I’m sure it does indeed get better at some point ^^ .

What did I read?: ふらいんぐうぃっち Vol 10
How much did I read?: 25 pages (1 chapter)
How long did it take me?: 29 min
Today was…less productive than I hoped. Basically, I started my morning thinking to myself, “I’m going to read lots today, I’m not going to waste the whole day watching old TV episodes on Hulu like I did yesterday.” I then proceeded to waste most of the day watching old TV episodes on Youtube (because, you know, that’s obviously not the same thing) and then, when I finally got around to reading, I started reading this English novel I haven’t touched in months instead of reading in Japanese. 
Why am I like this. Anyway, I managed to read this week’s Flying Witch, at least. I’m excited for the next chapter because the smol cat creatures have finally made an appearance and they’re so cute, I love them so much already :3

Yes, it looks like our impressions are the same then 
I thought it begins later (around episode 40?) but I checked and yep, it’s that flashback I meant.
Day 42
August 6
- 乙女ゲームの破滅フラグしかない悪役令嬢に転生してしまった…5 (64% → 67%)
Day 43
August 7
- 乙女ゲームの破滅フラグしかない悪役令嬢に転生してしまった…5 (67% → 70%)
including 15 pages of manga between the chapters which I think Kindle is struggling to count properly. it’s fine when it’s either 100% text or 100% manga, but a mix is making it go
and it’s impossible to enlarge the images properly in this situation, which also annoys me

Finished reading through Yotsuba volume 11, didn’t really have a chance to make an update post until now. It’s a really good volume, with lots of great panels and stories. Might even be my favorite of the bunch so far, although it’s hard to choose. Was also good to return to reading Yotsuba again and see how it compares with Polar Bear Café. Felt easier to read, so I can recommend switching it up now and then to see how much progress you made.
I’ll start reading volume 12 tomorrow.

What did I read?: 囀る鳥は羽ばたかない Vol 1
How much did I read?: 21 pages
How long did it take me?: 2 hours 12 min
To be fair to myself, I was also filling out the vocab sheet while reading. But it still took a long time xD I had to take a break in the middle lol, but I do feel like it’s getting a tiny bit easier to understand? Maybe?

I’ve still been reading every day since the challenge ended, which is nice! Have been reading some 鬼滅の刃、kikis & no.6. However, I feel like my progress in all of these may come to a grinding halt for a while as I’ve just started playing ace attorney 1 (in Japanese) and I’m having so much fun! Ive been needing to look up a lot of vocab but there’s a lot of repetition so hoping it will stick, and even if not it’s still a lot of fun Did the tutorial case and a bit of the first ‘real’ case today

Yesterday I read 60 pages of イモリ２０１ volume 1 and today I was pretty exhausted so I only read 10 pages. Either way I will soon have finished it and will have to decide what to read next maybe I will start reading a book.

Today’s episode was nice. Only 5 days left for the end of my challenge! The urges of letting one day slip are getting greater each day

Ohhh that sounds super fun!
I’ve never played an Ace Attorney game but I’ve always wanted to.
I worry about a game that relies on dialogue, compare with Mario where (as a worst case) I can probably still work it out even without understanding the text.
How have you been finding it so far?
Have you played the game before?
Have you found yourself looking up hints in English?
Sorry for the cross examination >.> <.<

What did I read?: 君には届かない Vol 3
How much did I read?: 33 pages (1 chapter)
How long did it take me?: 1 hour
It has been A Day for me today, mentally speaking 
I was a bit too tired and mentally spent to feel like reading much, but I managed to get started on the next volume of 君には届かない. Gosh, they’re getting so close to having a conversation about it…if only people could stop interrupting them when they’re trying to talk lmao. But I can’t wait to see what happens on this school field trip - the title page for the next chapter has the cutest photo of Kakeru and a Nara deer on it too, it makes me happy just looking at it :3 So cuuuuuute ><
