Card Captor Sakura volume 10 โ€“ progress report
Yesterday: Began reading volume 10, read up to page 16.
Today: Continued up to page 103, finished chapters 39 and 40.

Kudos to both Sakura and Yukito who handled the confession and rejection very nicely even though Sakura didnโ€™t quite agree with Yukitoโ€™s comparison that her love towards him was just like the love towards her father.
Can I also give Yukito another heap of praise for rejecting a person much younger than himself in midst of all the (in my opinion) messed up relationship dynamics between minors and adults weโ€™ve had so far? Good job, Yukito, good job! :+1: From the little bit I remember, the platonic relationship between Yukito and Sakura becomes purely wholesome from that point on which I liked quite a bit.

Forced westernization.

  • Ruri Dragon Vol.1

I finished the volume in one go with no lookup in between. Actually, I knew most vocabularies and could guess the rest. Also with some read-aloud (quietly).

Around 1.5 hour, I think. Cute.

Yesterday, I spent about 3-4 hours reading the last part of Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts and nothing else.

Today, I read the weekly reading for Orange (30 pages / 2 chapters), the weekly reading for Komi-san (12 pages / 2 chapters), and then just for fun I finally picked up the third volume of ใƒ›ใƒ†ใƒซใƒปใƒกใƒƒใƒ„ใ‚กใƒšใ‚ฆใƒฉใธใ‚ˆใ†ใ“ใ. I decided to see if I could read that in one day and not have it take too long. Just like this summer when I read volume 1 and 2, I didnโ€™t look up anything, instead I just kept reading and didnโ€™t find myself truly confused anywhere.

I donโ€™t know exactly how long it took me to read the whole volume, but 2-3 hours maybe? I donโ€™t know exactly when I started, so it is a bit of guess, but I donโ€™t think it can be much longer than that. :thinking:

I think this is the first time Iโ€™ve read a whole volume in one sitting (and one day). So that was kinda fun. :smiley:

:open_book: Back to my Home Post

Todayโ€™s page shows our two travellers heading out. They once again meet the old man. And I learned that ๆ—ฉใ€… can be read as ๆ—ฉใ€…(ใใ†ใใ†) (quickly) or ๆ—ฉใ€…(ใฏใ‚„ใฐใ‚„) (early).

Anyway, seems like the pld man wants to come with. Or he wants to give them something? Right, its ใ“ใ‚Œ not ็ง or other pronouns, so he wants them to take something with them. Seems to be a box that is supposed to help if they get lost?

Had a small victory at the arcade earlier! Most of the games are only in japanese, and to prevent people from stalling/prevent the games from getting stuck if thereโ€™s an error, the menus have a time limit (usually around 40 seconds to a minute) to pick a song/do options. These menus are also notoriously confusing and weirdly nested, since you are using a rhythm game controller to try to do things youโ€™d normally want a real controller/keyboard for. I finally figured out how to get into the song options menu in wacca and adjust the scroll speed and visual settings even with that tight time restriction!

changed to a readable scroll speed and suddenly i'm pretty good at wacca

Avg ~920k on scroll speed 2.0 (default) to getting ~980k+ and SSS ranks on scroll speed 3.0 โ€ฆ funny how that works :laughing: most really good players play on 5.0, but iโ€™ll have to work up to that i think

  • ไธ‰ใƒ„ๆ˜Ÿใ‚ซใƒฉใƒผใ‚บ ch 16

Still debating whether to also try out the IBC pick, but I think Iโ€™d like to finish ๅคœใ‚ซใƒ•ใ‚ง first. From the preview it looked like a challenging but still reasonable level for me (especially considering the slow pace and extra support of the clubs)

@NicoleIsEnough my copy of Making Sense of Japanese also got here today! I just went through the preface and introduction, but I already love this book :laughing: his sense of humor is greatly appreciated when so much of the non-fiction Iโ€™ve been reading is super dry, academic stuff

Speaking of! De-mystifying Translation | Introducing Translation to Non-translators ! Thereโ€™s a new open-source introduction to translation and translation theory book that some people here might be interested in! Itโ€™s written by a linguist, but itโ€™s intended to be accessible for broader audiences.

Read about 10 pages of ๅคœใฏ็Ÿญใ—ๆญฉใ‘ใ‚ˆไน™ๅฅณ today. Itโ€™s the weekend but starting tomorrow Iโ€™m gonna go pretty hard and try to finish this week. Iโ€™ve been going at slow place for the first chapter to get whatever names and vocab make up most of the novel, so my hope is I can just read the rest from here and see how it goes. I really love this story, so the likelihood Iโ€™ll reread it again is pretty high. So Iโ€™m not super concerned about missing things. Plus thereโ€™s the movie.

Words of the day

  • ใคใคใŒใชใ„ = safe; free from accident. Kanji form is ๆ™็„ก(ใคใคใŒใช)ใ„, but without Furigana, it feels like, not being ๏ฝžใคใคใ‚ใ‚‹.
  • ่‡ฅ(ใต)ใ›ใ‚‹ = to lie down in bed (e.g. with an illness). Compare with ไผ(ใต)ใ›ใ‚‹ which is just to look down; to lie down (dodging bullets).

  • ไป•้€(ใ—ใŠใ)ใ‚Š = allowance / sending someone allowance
  • ๆ•ฐ็ (ใ˜ใ‚…ใš) = rosary; a string of prayer beads

  • ็ซถๆผ•(ใใ‚‡ใ†ใใ†) = boat race. Has a different Furigana in context (ใƒฌใ‚ฌใƒƒใ‚ฟ = regatta). Of course, the Kanji reading is similar to ็ซถไบ‰(ใใ‚‡ใ†ใใ†) (a competition) or ็ซถ่ตฐ(ใใ‚‡ใ†ใใ†) = (a running match, also car or horse).

  • ๅ—…่ฆš(ใใ‚…ใ†ใ‹ใ) = sense of smell. First Kanji from ๅ—…(ใ‹)ใ. I instead thought of ่‡ญ่ฆš(ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ‹ใ), where the Kanji comes from ่‡ญ(ใซใŠ)ใ„, and I remembered the On reading from ่‡ญๆฐ—(ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ) and ๅŠ ้ฝข่‡ญ(ใ‹ใ‚Œใ„ใ—ใ‚…ใ†).
  • ่ฅŸ่ถณ(ใˆใ‚Šใ‚ใ—) = the border of back hair; hairline at the nape of neck
