I also read a bit more of ่ŠฑๆŸใฏๆฏ’ this morning and it continues to slowly plod along. Iโ€™m giving it 20-30 minutes a day now so I expect Iโ€™ll finish it sometime next week as thereโ€™s not that much left of it. I kind of burnt out on Anki again so my anki time is now โ€˜personal book choiceโ€™ time.

Huh, this is the first time Iโ€™ve had CDJapan email me an item availability update, especially when it was just informing me that they would take 1-3 weeks to come available, which is exactly what the site said before/when I ordered them. I was afraid theyโ€™d say they werenโ€™t available after all. Well, I guess I can take this as confirmation that I do have time to try and finish another of the novels I have started before this order gets here?

Pass the exam or not?, so until pass.

  • ใ†ใŸใ‚ใ‚Œใ‚‹ใ‚‚ใฎ

  • ๆฎ‹ๆœˆ่จ˜ : ๆœˆๆ™ฏ็Ÿณ Ch.3

Words of the day
  • ใ‚นใ‚ซใ‚นใ‚ซ(.) = (on-mim) insubstantial; without mass; hollow / smoothly
  • ใƒใƒใƒžใ‚ญ = headband = ้‰ขๅทป(ใฏใกใพ)ใ. I have never thought of a head as a bowl (้‰ข(ใฏใก)), which apparently can mean so (้‰ข(ใฏใก) = skull cap, ้ ญ่“‹้ชจ(ใšใŒใ„ใ“ใค)).
  • ใฏใฆใ—ใชใ„ = boundless = ๆžœ(ใฏ)ใฆใ—็„ก(ใช)ใ„
  • ใจใ‚“ใ  = absurd; unthinkable / terrible. Attached to ็ฝ้›ฃ(ใ•ใ„ใชใ‚“) (= misfortune; accident) in context. (ใ€Œ้ฃ›(ใจ)ใ‚“ใ ใ€ใงใ€้ฃ›ใณ้›ขใ‚Œใฆใ„ใ‚‹ๆ„ใ‹)
  • ใปใ–ใ = to babble. I think of ๅ (ใป)ใˆใ‚‹ + ่ฃ‚(ใ•)ใ.
  • ใชใ˜ใ‚‹ = to tell off; to reproach; to press questions = ่ฉฐ(ใชใ˜)ใ‚‹
  • ่ฆ‹(ใฟ)ใˆ่ฆ‹(ใฟ)ใˆ = obvious at a glance. So, ่ฆ‹(ใฟ)ใˆใ‚‹. Compare with ่ฆ‹(ใฟ)ใ‚‹่ฆ‹(ใฟ)ใ‚‹ (= before oneโ€™s eyes; very moment) from the other day.
  • ๅญ•(ใฏใ‚‰)ใ‚€ = to be filled with (e.g. grudge). It also means being pregnant (containing a child).
  • ็พ(ใ†ใค)ใ—ไธ–(ใ‚ˆ) = this present world. Has Furigana, and no Okurigana in the middle.
    • ๅคข็พ(ใ‚†ใ‚ใ†ใคใค) = in-between dream and reality. Has Furigana.
    • Maybe the ็พ(ใ†ใคใค) part shares root with ๆ˜ (ใ†ใค)ใ™?
  • ไฝ็›ธ(ใ„ใใ†) = phase (of a wave)
  • ็พฝไบค(ใฏใŒ)ใ„็ท (ใ˜)ใ‚ = crossing arms behind someoneโ€™s back, a move. ็พฝไบค(ใฏใŒ)ใ„ is two wings of a bird folding together.
  • ่ผพ่ปขๅๅด(ใฆใ‚“ใฆใ‚“ใฏใ‚“ใใ) = tossing and turning in bed. Has Furigana. Looks like foul (ๅๅ‰‡(ใฏใ‚“ใใ)) turning (่ปขใ€…(ใฆใ‚“ใฆใ‚“))? Well, ๅๅด(ใฏใ‚“ใใ) is also valid by itself.
  • ใƒ–ใƒชใ‚ญ็ผถ(ใ‹ใ‚“) = tin can. ้ŒปๅŠ›(ใถใ‚Šใ) (a Dutch loanword, represented by Kokuji) appears to be a tin plate (flattened tin), but the actual tin mineral (Sn) is ้Œซ(ใ™ใš).
  • ่—ๆŸ“(ใ‚ใ„ใž)ใ‚ = indigo dye
  • ๅ…ซ้ขๅ…ญ่‡‚(ใฏใกใ‚ใ‚“ใ‚ใฃใด) = 8 faces and 6 arms; competent in all fields. The last Kanji is for upper arm or elbow (่‡‚(ใฒใ˜)).

That was the last plane ride for a bit. I have a long bus journey in the morning but may be chatting rather than reading - first day of my tour.

Now Iโ€™m halfway :3 Sometimes my mind starts thinking about other things while my eyes and inner voice are still reading the book, then Iโ€™ll have to reread because my attention was elsewhere. Was a bit easier to notice today and then continue reading.

I was reading some ไน…ไฟใ•ใ‚“ใฏๅƒ•ใ‚’่จฑใ•ใชใ„ (kubo wont let me be invisible) today in english, and noticed that some of the chapters have these short poem-y things on the title pages. Decided to try looking at them in japanese, since poetry usually doesnโ€™t translate very well (imo), and I really enjoyed this one from chapter 24:

  • ใ‚ฏใƒผใƒซใƒ‰ใ‚ธ็”ทๅญ ch 25-28. I love these idiots so much.
  • 16 pages of 2.43, finishing 2-3 and 2-4 and thus all of ch 2, and leaving off on pg 222. Yeah in the anime we still got that convo where Yuni says that he and Chika together just need to become like Subaru and Chika tells him to catch up to and surpass Subaru on his own, and in this match the next ep we see him decide to and start to actually become the teamโ€™s reliable ace, but in the book itโ€™s clear that in doing so heโ€™s trying to emulate Subaru and become a reliable ace the way that he is. โ€œItโ€™s like looking at me from two years ago,โ€ indeed. Ahhh this was such a good chapter. And the next one should be all new content since itโ€™s an Ibara chapter!
  • ใญใ“ๅณถ็‰ฉ่ชž
Some vocab of note:

่€่‹ฅ็”ทๅฅณ (ใ‚ใ†ใซใ‚ƒใใชใ‚“ใซใ‚‡) [ๅ››ๅญ—็†Ÿ่ชž, n.] people of all genders and ages. This oneโ€™s notable because of the interesting reading. Only one of those kanji are pronounced the way I expected.
ใ‚ซใƒใƒฅใƒผใ‚ทใƒฃ [n.] headband made of metal or plastic and often covered with cloth. Named after the character Katyusha in Leo Tolstoyโ€™s novel โ€œResurrection.โ€
ๅ–Šๅฃฐ (ใ‹ใ‚“ใ›ใ„) [n.] battle cry
ไบŒใฎๅฅใ‚’ๅคฑใ† (ใซใฎใใ‚’ใ†ใ—ใชใ†) [expression, ใ‚ขไบ”] to be at a loss for words; to go speechless (lit. โ€œto lose oneโ€™s next spoken wordโ€)
้ฌฑ็ฉ (ใ†ใฃใ›ใ) [n., ใ™ใ‚‹ verb (่‡ช)] accumulation (of discontent, frustration, etc.); buildup; suppression (e.g. of anger)

Welp. I kept telling myself I was going to come back and make another post at some point and then suddenly almost two months have passed by.

Day 33-81 Progress (aka what Iโ€™ve finished over the last two months)

ใŠ้šฃใฎๅคฉไฝฟๆง˜ใซใ„ใคใฎ้–“ใซใ‹้ง„็›ฎไบบ้–“ใซใ•ใ‚Œใฆใ„ใŸไปถ ็ฌฌๅ…ญใƒผๅ…ซๅ†Š

่ธŠใ‚Šๅ ดใซใ‚นใ‚ซใƒผใƒˆใŒ้ณดใ‚‹ ็ฌฌไธ€ใ€ไบŒๅทป

The biggest update here is that I have finally caught up on ใŠ้šฃใฎๅคฉไฝฟๆง˜ and defeated the evilโ€ฆ well, almost. I still have a side story volume Iโ€™ve been pretty loath to work through because itโ€™s somehow longer than the main volumes. At the very least though, I now have an opportunity to focus on another longer series to tackle.

Iโ€™ve opted for a change of pace and have started reading a visual novel, Monkeys!ยก, a fast-paced comedy about a crossdressing delinquent boy trying to make it in a school tailored for ใŠๅฌขๆง˜. And boy, is it fast, a non-stop barrage of jokes mixed in with both delinquent and high-class speech have made this a continual headache to read so far. Though, reading something voiced for once is pleasant for sure.

My reading speed still hasnโ€™t really improved over the last few months unfortunately and even a (relatively) short visual novel like this one will probably take me several weeks at least, but I really would like to try one of the longer games Iโ€™ve been dying to read since starting Japanese in the first placeโ€ฆ

I would like to try posting more regularly again though whether I can motivate myself to do it or not is still up in the air.

Word of the Day: ไปŠๅฎตใ“ใ‚ˆใ„ - this evening, tonight. Nothing particularly interesting about it, just a pleasant word.
