I modified the calendars that I used in the Fall reading challenge that I got from @chrisosaurus on this post.
Summary
The Fall reading challenge was the first time I was doing something like this. My goal for learning Japanese is to read Japanese media in its original language. More than a decade has passed since I started learning Japanese and I am still a beginner when it comes to reading. So I decided to try reading how I learnt in my native language- reading every day by pronouncing the words. I learnt to read early. I inherited my bookworm tendencies from my parents. Both of them liked to read and there were always books in my house. (I don’t really remember when I learnt to read. I just know that by the time I was 7, I was a smooth reader and challenging books above my supposed level.)
For the Fall reading challenge, I started with manga that I’ve already read in English. I do not stop to look up words so for now I am only reading manga with furigana. It is my hope that eventually I will be able to take off the “training wheels” and read the kanji directly. I started with Cheeky Angel (天使な小生意気) and when I finished that, I started both オトメン(乙男) and 会長はメイド様！I got frustrated reading 会長はメイド様！There were too many words so I went back to オトメン(乙男). I am almost finished volume 1 so I will continue that for the Winter reading challenge.
I continued with the reading every day because I enjoyed setting streaks. However, it is also good practice because I have found myself recognising kanji and vocabulary that I’ve learnt on WaniKani. So I intend to continue with this challenge in some form or another for months to come.
In the Fall challenge, I alternated between shounen and shoujo manga. So I may do the same for this challenge.
