Depending on how sleepy and how much time I have after my shower, I might read some JoJo too. I have everything but my clothes ready for work tomorrow, so itโ€™s not like I should need extra time in the morningโ€ฆ

Card Captor Sakura volume 7 / volume 8 โ€“ progress report
Yesterday: Read up to page 165, finished chapter 29.
Today: Read up to page 189, finished chapter 30 and volume 7. :tada:
Began reading volume 8, read up to page 20.

Finished volume 7 and continued with volume 8 โ€“ only to have another โ€˜nope, not todayโ€™ reaction when liar-kun showed up. So, I stopped at said page. :sweat_smile:

I hope you get well soon!

Itโ€™s great that you managed to read it this time around โ€“ congrats! :tada: :smiley:

Kiro is so adorable! And itโ€™s equally adorable to hear that he missed you so much that he wanted to cuddle even more to make up for the โ€˜lostโ€™ days. :face_holding_back_tears:

The UK pictures are delightful too, btw.

Only my 2nd day of reading but wanted to share nonetheless. Started going through SKM N2 reading these past two days. It is a jump from N3 for sure, but it being more challenging than the usual manga/articles I read is also motivating me to do WK lessons and reviews. Canโ€™t wait to look back at these first pages and see how far Iโ€™ve come :mechanical_arm:

Orange :tangerine:

Iโ€™m back to Orange, my old friend. The club have now been active for slightly more than 6 months. Feels a bit surreal.

Today was chapter 23 from start to finish. Took me a little bit to get back into the writing style, I havenโ€™t read Orange for a month, but then it flowed well.

Me gushing about Orangeโ€”well me recommending Orange to others xD

I canโ€™t recommend Orange enough. The thing that takes it from being a really good beginner manga is probably the amount of casual language, it is literally everywhere, and those of us who read with the book club so far, already had pretty good grasp on it, so there arenโ€™t really questions and answers about that.

But outside that, Orange is fairly simple. Mostly using everyday, high school vocabulary. With really good characters, a great story, and beautiful art. What more could you ask for? Well, no casual language I guess, but nope, lots of it everywhere. A tiny bit of science fiction, time travel-ly vocabulary, but only crops up 2-3 times across all 5 first volumes, so not much in general. If it sounds interesting, you can check out the club for additional info (such as content warnings).

Unfortunately, we just started volume 6, so you might not be able to catch up with the club itself, but please read it. It is great. ^^ And the threads are available for questions and such, of course.

Day 20 + 21 Progress: 26-33่ฉฑ - ๅ››ๅทปๅฎŒๆˆ!!!

The last couple of days have just been kind of a blur of being sick and having to go to work stillโ€ฆ despite that I did manage to get more reading done than I expected.

Word of the Day: ็ฐๆฑใ‚ใ - soup/broth scum, lye. โ€œAsh soupโ€ certainly makes the scum seem as unpleasant as possibleโ€ฆ and the reading itself doesnโ€™t quite contradict it either!

Another week done, kind of.

ๅคœๅธ‚ is at 51%, so just 9% this week.
I didnโ€™t feel to well for a few days so I did less. I also did not read anything on Friday but thatโ€™s okay. I donโ€™t feel too bad about it. Iโ€™ve been a lot more consistent than usual so itโ€™s kind of a win already.
And I did read a couple of YT comments, so I technically did read something, but I donโ€™t want to count that. :sweat_smile:

Finished manga from last week and started reading Spirit Circle. Still in Volume 1 but I hope Iโ€™ll finish it after writing this post. done! Some chapters with some old speech stuff is a bit of a slog.

I forgot to thank everyone for their appreciation of the photos. ^^ I will try to catch Kiro when he is being super cute. I might just have to let my phone be glued to me for a couple of days for that though, because if I try moving to get it, he stops to watch me. xD

And since Iโ€™m here anyway. I have now also read some fiction in English. ^^

Low key abandoned my own challenge for a couple days for reasons Iโ€™ll explain when Iโ€™m more coherent/not exhausted, but I just have to say

Me too. :face_holding_back_tears:

Heโ€™s really growing into his own. Although Iโ€™m sure heโ€™s not done yet. Just noticed today that he isnโ€™t as easy to move around with just one hand. :face_holding_back_tears:

Also, did I tell you guys that he charmed everyone in my friendโ€™s family so much when they met him, that I think all of them threatened to kidnap him? (I canโ€™t remember if I told you guys or not.) He is very social and purrs for anyone, likes being petted by anyone. Heโ€™s a good cat. ^^

Week 3

Must of my reading was from pokemon scarlet. Iโ€™m starting to be and to piece together what Iโ€™m reading better without needing to breakdown every sentence first

I also read another couple of stories in Satori Reader. I finished the free content for long distance relationship, which i really enjoy, and the first story for jam maker, really good practice for descriptive text at least in part 1. Looking to subscribe once money isnโ€™t as tight.

Lastly, my 5yr old has been interested in doing japanese with me so weโ€™ve been reading level 0 graded readers together, which are too easy for me but fun for her :slight_smile:

I received my manga:)

๐Ÿ“š

I read a few pages in all of them and, well, the ones without furigana are still a little intimidating. I read ้›จๅฎฎใ•ใ‚“ from start to finish with barely any lookups to see how that felt and while a good portion of the dialogue had parts that went over my head I was easily able to follow the action and get the gist of each situation. I should probably take the time to decipher some of the harder parts for the learning opportunities they provide, but atm my university workload is pretty high so Iโ€™m planning to just keep going with ๆ—ฅๅธธ(ไธ€) at the same pace. Reading a manga in two sittings felt really good :relieved:
