# Day 1 I used to read daily but stopped because of depressing circumstances relating to my health. I’d like to get back on it tho! I don’t have complete faith in my persistence but I know if I did it before then I can do it again. I also hope continuously updating this thread with my progress will encourage me to remain consistent with my japanese learning since I’m already on wanikani 😁 ## Current Book: **They Both Die At The End** by Adam Silvera ## Current Progress: **Page 64 / 373** ---

[Home](https://community.wanikani.com/t/read-every-day-challenge-summer-2022/57528/23) Too tired yesterday evening to feel like booting up my laptop, so I’m updating now: I finished vol 1 of おうちでごはん. I really like it, though it’ll probably be a bit before I get to vol 2. Also I don’t know if it does actually take longer to read than I was anticipating, or if it just seems that way because I’ve been more tired lately. I only just realized that the first kanji in 瓜沢 isn’t つめ. It’s うり. “Melon.” I didn’t question it since pretty much everyone seems to be named after a plant or animal (particularly edible ones; I think 遠藤 is the only exception, unless wisteria are edible?) and claws go with the animal theme. Plus, he keeps a bunch of tortoises. (爪 and 瓜 are only two strokes off, why aren’t they listed as visually similar) I also started HQ vol 24 and read ch 208-210. > **Some vocab of note:** > > フトコロが寂しい (フトコロがさびしい) [expression, い-adj.] strapped for cash; hard up > 棒に振る (ぼうにふる) [expression, ラ五] to make a mess of; to sacrifice; to waste ---

**Sep 14, Wed** of [Week 12](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/57362/36) of [Summer 🏖](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/57528/18) 2022 I finished reading HUNTER x HUNTER Vol.6 in about 2 days. It’s a little tiring to finish in one day (one session). Looked up and learnt vocabularies, but those aren’t enough for my listening (watching HUNTER x HUNTER 1999 no sub at Ep.37). Watched Death Note Ep.12 with JP sub just now. Just mention because it accompanies my manga reading. Anime doesn’t catch up yet, though. (Normal speech aren’t exactly difficult to listen, but synthesized speeches (in in-anime video clips) are.) ---

Yesterday I read a bit of Eromanga Sensei. Watched too much anime so I couldn’t finish the first chapter. I bought a book called “Pride and Joy” that just got a Bunko release. The sample was really easy to read so I though I would go ahead and get it since it was so easy to read and also interesting. Plus it seems like I can read that without fear someone is gonna read the words EROMANGA over my shoulder and judge me xD ---

# 🦋 [Home](https://community.wanikani.com/t/read-every-day-challenge-summer-2022/57528/9) 🦋 岸辺露伴(きしべろはん)は動(うご)かない 2 Start - 21 As I suspected, the storytelling element is a feature not a bug. I don’t think I’m very fond of it though. This opening story feels like Rohan comes off as Rob Sterling, which is just not bizarre enough but also too bland to be off putting. The premise of this story is that every member of a particular family seems to die on 9/8. I’m wondering what’s special about that day. The closest thing I can think of is the lunar holiday of Double Ninth Day (9/9). In Japan, some areas have switched their lunar holidays to the secular calendar instead. This isn’t a popular holiday by any means though. 9 is supposed to be a very unlucky number, so 9/9 should be very unlucky, however the holiday has changed to make it so double unluck becomes lucky. If I remember the original story from China though, disaster befell everyone in a village who didn’t take refuge on that day. It seems therefore to possibly be related but I’m not sure. The family’s name 望月also means full moon and that day even, but I don’t think it’s an arbitrary choice. On the other side of things, wondering if Araki drew this from memory or used a reference is plaguing my mind. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/3/e/1/3e1053bdac9c33049df9b972413767e28f7265f9.jpeg) ---

# Day 2 Reached the 2nd arc 😃 I tend to read more chapters the more I get invested, but it’s also based on my mood. Some days I’ll read only 5 pages, but other days I’ll go for 15. Wish I was more consistent in that regard, but it probably doesn’t matter much since the book will be finished eventually no matter how fast or slow I go. ## Current Book: **They Both Die At The End** by Adam Silvera ## Current Progress: **Page 80 / 373** ---

**September 12-15** ✔ 🔍 **十角館の殺人** , chapter 5 **Grammar** :いかに, いかにも、いかん, いくら, 以後、いささか、いざしらず In the last four days I started and finished this week’s chapter of 十角館の殺人 (I only read a tiny amount on one day, but it still counts). It’s still going strong, and keeping me guessing. I still like it way more than I expected. I’ve now read a little over halfway, so unless the solution to the mystery is somehow disappointing, I don’t expect my impressions to change much. Grammar is also going well. いざしらず was a new one to me, but several of the rest also had finer points I wasn’t confident on, so it was good reading about them. I’m well aware that, like with kanji learned on Wanikani, likewise with grammar learned from a grammar book, I’ll still need to come across it several times in the wild before it becomes second nature. Still, having some degree of familiarity with it can only be beneficial, not to mention that I always tend to come across kanji or grammar points I just learned about. Now, what to read until the book club’s next week starts? I could continue with 十角館の殺人, I suppose, and read up to the end of next week’s portion (not further, though!). That would probably free up a good chunk of time next week so I can read something else without too many interruptions. Alternatively, I can start something else now (continue 糞尿譚 before I forget what I’ve read so far, or read the next story in 化身), then switch back to 十角館の殺人 on Monday. I also have (too) many other books I can’t wait to start, but I keep telling myself that I need to finish the ones I’m currently reading first. 📚 [Previous page](https://community.wanikani.com/t/read-every-day-challenge-summer-2022/57528.md?page=92) [Next page](https://community.wanikani.com/t/read-every-day-challenge-summer-2022/57528.md?page=94)
