Finished reading Nagatoro volume 3 over the weekend and I’m now halfway through Yoru Cafe volume 3. Almost thought I would break my streak, but yesterday I managed to read two chapters of Yoru Cafe.
Yoru Cafe volume 3
Yoru Cafe went in the direction that I thought it would with the aunt collapsing and her bully working alongside her to help manage yoru cafe activities. Also had the suspicion the aunt was hiding her condition and they had just revealed it was a brain tumor. Hanabi has been in the dumps since, but Ryoma has been taking her out of it and trying to cheer her up by bringing her to the batting center. I had to look up some terms there. Definitely think this range of different topics can be a good reminder that you never know what comes up your way. One moment you’re reading a teen drama and the next you’re in a medical drama before you’re in a sports drama.
In turn I didn’t get to play any Digimon Survive yesterday as I was too distracted. Funny enough I did want to finish this part of Persona 4 Golden, so I did just that. About 15 hours into the game and the story is picking up again soon. Sometimes I can breeze to most of the dialogue and other times I need a finecomb bits and pieces. I’m especially bad at hearing names, the girl from the wind instrument orchestra I just had to look up her name and only then could I hear it again. Anyway I’m happy with my progress even if it is slow going.
Probably gonna put P4G on hold for a bit so I can focus on Digimon Survive a little, which I wanted so bad I forgot that I could buy a Japanese copy as the western versions don’t support JP text. There is Japanese voiceacting and it’s actually been weird that normally I would not pay it no mind that there’s english subs, but I have had my headphones on and I kinda just either take in the voice acting in dialogue and ignore most of the english. It’s not exactly that the localization is bad (like Cyber Sleuth) although there are some mistakes that should have not made it in the final game. Either way it is neat game both for Digimon fans and Japanese learners from what I can tell so far (early part 3). It is very much a visual novel with choices and there’s tactical rpg battles in between.
Also July passed by and I’m glad with most of my progress. I think it helps having some lighter reading and just knowing that in summer I’m not gonna be doing much of anything to save energy… This month my goal is build it up a little more. Finishing Yoru Cafe 3 and Zenitendo 3 is gonna be part of that, so I can start looking at one of the novels I have. For manga I’ve been thinking it’s past time I started the Kindaichi volumes I have on kindle. With P4G it would be nice to do another arc at least.
