๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š Read every day challenge - Winter 2023 โ˜ƒโ„

March 24-26 :heavy_check_mark: :door:
ใƒ‘ใƒฌใƒผใƒ‰, 31-42%

ใƒ‘ใƒฌใƒผใƒ‰ is going relatively slowly. The weekend was busy with other things, but still, managing only 3 pages per day felt like reading nothing at all. Like so many of the books Iโ€™ve read lately, this one also changes narrator with each chapter, and each change feels extra hard in the beginning. Some of the charactersโ€™ thoughts also feel a little difficult to follow (for example, currently reading about a โ€œselfโ€ we construct to be with others, and how you are never exactly yourself when sharing an apartment with other people, and how since they may also be using โ€œconstructed selvesโ€, maybe thereโ€™s no one (real) in the apartment after allโ€ฆ).

Itโ€™s still unclear whether there will be an overarching plot or whether the author just takes this opportunity to give us a glimpse of several different young peopleโ€™s lives. There is a vague sense of mystery, but itโ€™s unclear whether it will lead anywhere or if itโ€™s there just for flavour.

Itโ€™s too bad Iโ€™m not interested in Slam Dunk lmao Half Price had a bunch of them:

Oda and Aoki are so cute

Context: Itโ€™s the cultural festival, and some of the guys from the boysโ€™ team have come to Ibaraโ€™s class, which is doing a maid cafรฉ. The girl on hall duty says stuff like โ€œใ”ไธปไบบๆง˜ไบŒๅๆง˜ใ”ๅธฐๅฎ…ใงใƒผใ™!โ€ when customers arrive.

And Oda thinks Aoki doesnโ€™t actually like him and has just been going along with his โ€œselfish whimsโ€ these past three years, yet Aokiโ€™s over here calling him by a nickname and basically being his guard dog and just in general being very fond of him like all the time. But he just thinks thatโ€™s just how Aoki is. Theyโ€™re in different classes and came from different middle schools, so he didnโ€™t know him before and they donโ€™t see each other all that much outside of volleyball, so he doesnโ€™t know how Aoki is most of the time and that the way he is with him is special. When some of Aokiโ€™s default misanthropy shows through, Odaโ€™s just like, โ€œWell heโ€™s got a lot on his plate right now, heโ€™s tired and stressed, he deserves to bitch some.โ€ When Aoki told him, โ€œFundamentally, Iโ€™m someone who does things with ulterior motives,โ€ Odaโ€”well, out loud, he was like, โ€œโ€˜Ulterior motivesโ€™?โ€ but his attitude is like โ€œWhat are you on about, youโ€™re not selfish, Iโ€™m the one whoโ€™s selfish.โ€ But Odaโ€™s a lot less selfish than he thinks he is and Aokiโ€™s a lot more selfish than Oda gives him credit for, itโ€™s just that since the first day they met, a lot of Aokiโ€™s selfishness has extended to him, too. He thinks Aokiโ€™s just being nice and going along with him, but Aokiโ€™s not a nice person! Which isnโ€™t to say heโ€™s a bad person; heโ€™s not. Heโ€™s just not nice. (I can totally see him becoming a kick-ass defense attorney with his fancy-dandy KyลDai law degree. Although I can also just as easily see him becoming a kick-ass prosecutor.)

Oda, you are an idiot. Youโ€™re his favorite person, of course he wants to stay in contact after high school too!

I canโ€™t wait until I get to the end of this novel (not this vol, part 2), because Oda feels guilty for being selfish (as he sees it), yet he still tells Aoki heโ€™s gonna continue to be selfish for a little longer and asks him to continue playing volleyball with him in college, and then the look Aoki gives him in the anime thatโ€™s just so incredibly fond and like โ€˜of course thereโ€™s no way I wasnโ€™t going toโ€™? That โ€œFundamentally, Iโ€™m someone who does things with ulterior motivesโ€ / โ€œโ€˜Ulterior motivesโ€™?โ€ / โ€œItโ€™s all right if you donโ€™t understandโ€ exchange killed me more in the novel than the anime even though that portion of the exchange wasnโ€™t even all that different, so yeah. Iโ€™m expecting this one to kill me too. (That exchange is also how I learned ไธ‹ๅฟƒ.)

odaoki-1

odaoki-2

Then I also canโ€™t wait to get glimpses of them in college, but thatโ€™s in book 4. Iโ€™ve still got the HaruKou Arc before then. Which will be entirely new content because the anime only covered (much of) the first two novels!

(If anyone not Kanno and Ibara become canon in this series, I feel like itโ€™s most likely to be these two, but Iโ€™m not expecting anything. There are some bits that are pretty gay in a way where youโ€™re like, โ€œThat has to be on purpose, right?!โ€ but itโ€™s still not a romance, much less a BL, so chances are slim to none. But even if they werenโ€™t, my policy is generally to go in expecting nothing anyway lmao)

Only had about 3-4 hrs available for reading, and it was uh not very well spent lol so thatโ€™s as far as I got.

Some vocab of note:

ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใŸ่ฟทๆƒ‘ (ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใŸใ‚ใ„ใ‚ใ) [n., ใช-adj.] unwelcome favor; misplaced kindness

Mostly read in English today. I read Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher, which was amazing, and I started Icebreaker by Hannah Grace, which is all right so far. Right now itโ€™s looking like itโ€™s in โ€œitโ€™s good and Iโ€™m not mad I read it, but I donโ€™t want to keep a copyโ€ territory.

Teasing Ookuma with a small, soft smile? Yeah, those are definitely the actions of a man who doesnโ€™t care.

(I know I make him sound like a tsundere sometimes but I swear heโ€™s not. It is true though that he claims he only cares about the team insofar as itโ€™s important to Oda, but itโ€™s clear he does care about his other teammates too. Maybe not so much their senpai because of their treatment of Odaโ€”at least, not from what little we learn of their first two yearsโ€”but their kouhai, yeah. Including Chika, which will happen in part 2. And maybe not the sport itself, certainly not enough to continue playing when itโ€™s not with/for Oda, but I donโ€™t think he regrets his decision. Getting himself elected as the vice prez of the student council on the other hand, thoughโ€ฆ)

I picked up speed in ใƒ‘ใƒฌใƒผใƒ‰ again. Mysteries are solved and new mysteries emerge. The narrator changed again, but this time itโ€™s a boy. For some reason that I havenโ€™t been able to pinpoint, I have found the women harder to read than men in this book. Itโ€™s not grammar or vocabulary, so Iโ€™m not sure what it is. Maybe itโ€™s just their thoughts that are more complicated.

I was testing out how to approach DoBJG: Characteristics of JP Grammar, so I listed out the nine characteristics and start approaching backwards. (Listed yesterday, approached today.) Tomorrow is gonna be fun. I still have no idea how to approach future grammar points.

Characteristic points
  1. Word Order
  2. Topic
  3. Ellipsis
  4. Personal Pronouns
  5. Passive

  • ๆฎ‹ๆœˆ่จ˜ : ๆœˆๆ™ฏ็Ÿณ Ch.7/2

Next chapter is climax, or fate.

I have noticed for a while, for reading. A goal is to not need a dictionary. Well, probably try to overdo not-checking first, before eventually relax the restrictions like half a year later.

    • The Kanji appears to just mean to wait (ไฟŸ(ใพ)ใค = ๅพ…(ใพ)ใค)
  • ๅนฝ(ใ‹ใ™)ใ‹ = faint = ๅพฎ(ใ‹ใ™)ใ‹. I keep forgetting how to read this oneโ€ฆ ๅƒ…(ใ‚ใš)ใ‹?
