I ended up sheltering from tornadoes (everything’s fine though, no worries!)

Oof, a plains state I’m assuming? The weather reports looked awful. I’m glad you’re OK!

Komi-san
Encore in Death by JD Robb

On Feb 25, I started Encore in Death by JD Robb in the evening, so I read some English fiction as well as non-fiction. Then yesterday (26th), I read the rest of that book. This series by JD Robb (pen name of Nora Roberts) have 50+ books in it, it is just comfort food by now. I enjoy getting to read two such novels a year, knowing mostly what I’ll get: a mystery (sometimes very dark) and some more development of the cast (usually) or at least fun interactions between them. A bit like still watching a loved TV-series in season 8. Not really expecting anything wow-worthy most of the time, but a good time nonetheless.

This would also be my 12th finished book in English this year, meaning I’m still ahead of my goal of one a week. ^^

Anyway, I also read this week’s Komi-san yesterday. I’m enjoying Komi-san and feel like it is stretching my muscles some since I actually have to think about some sentences to make sense of them, but not so much that I need to look up things. I think I’ll be reading ahead on this series, because I want something uncomplicated and not that hard to read along side the rather lookup heavy Bustafellows.

Card Captor Sakura volume 12 – progress report
Yesterday: Read up to page 181, finished chapter 45 and volume 11.
Began reading volume 12, read up to page 17.
Today: Continued up to page 142, finished chapters 46, 47 and 48.

One chapter left.

I definitely don’t remember much about this volume and I didn’t quite understand Eriol’s explanation regarding Yue and why he created Ruby and Spinel. Ah well.

Speaking of not remembering things: much younger me completely wiped the following part of Mizuki-sensei and Eriol confessing their love to each other out of my memory – and for good reason: what the hell is wrong with you, Mizuki-sensei?! First Toya when he was a middle schooler, now Eriol who’s still in primary school. Granted, Eriol is Clow’s reincarnation with memories mostly intact(?), acts more mature yadda yadda but that still doesn’t make it less creepy in my book.

And while I’m on the topic of creepy relationships, the Terada-sensei & Rika one got a chapter cover illustration as well as a scene of Rika going somewhere and telling Sakura that she’s about to meet someone (Terada-sensei) which confirms these two meeting in settings outside of school. Yikes!

At least one nice relationship is about to develop as Shaolan finally confessed his love to Sakura. Also, he started calling her by her name instead of using ‘omae’ to refer to her (emergency situations aside).
I have to say that I ended up liking and appreciating him more during my rereading of the series as I could witness him becoming more reliable and, for the lack of a better word, mature over the volumes. He’s still not my favourite character or anything but I like him now as opposed to where I used to be rather ‘meh, he’s kind of a nuisance’ on him all these years ago.

[WaniTsunami]

Read my section of Chainsaw Man Buddy Stories for the evening.

Got about an hour or so of Steins;Gate.

Did my little bit of Genshin too and did in fact read since it was the main story. (though I already feel like it’s just gonna be like "Ok, here’s the Abyss, it’s impossible by design and your gonna give us money to progress further but never beat it.’

Will write my reflections tomorrow.

vol 6 of 蟲師 begins, and with a solid opening story! going off previous experience, i assume this is the only one with a happy ending in this volume good characters, interesting premise with expressive art, all round great start!

words that stood out: 迷い星 (まよいぼし, planet. i knew 惑星 but didn’t make the connection), 恩知らず (おんしらず, ungrateful), 蛇行 (だこう, meandering, snaking. good to know the snake connection is multi-lingual )

there’s only one more day left, when did that happen

Feb 27, Mon of Week 10 of Winter Q1 2023

• うたわれるもの

• ふしぎの国のバード Vol.7 Ch.30 (start volume)

Words of the day

• 凌(しの)ぐ = to surpass; to outdo / to survive through
• 恭(うやうや)しい = respectful. Kanji and single vocabulary in Level 56. On reading is キョウ, in yesterday’s 恭順(きょうじゅん) (= allegiance; compliant submission).
  • I confused with 慕(した)う, but couldn’t pick up し.
• 鐙(あぶみ) = stirrup; footstall for riding a horse. Has Furigana. From 足(あし) + 踏(ふ)み.
• 大工(だいく) = carpenter. Indeed, I couldn’t remember from someone’s thread a while ago.
• 爪印(つめいん) = a thumbprint. Has Furigana. Not just print of a nail or a claw, is it?
• 粗忽(そこつ) = careless. Has Furigana. Second Kanji also in 忽然(こつぜん)と and 忽(たちま)ち.
• 見初(みそ)める = to fall in love at first sight. Has Furigana. As for the second Kanji, 仮初(かりそめ) also has this reading.
• 置(お)き去(ざ)りにする = to leave (a person) behind
• 色目(いろめ)を使(つか)う = to ogle; to leer
• 気(き)の向(む)くままに = at one’s whim

• 後詰(ごづめ) = rear guard; reserve army = 後詰(ごづ)め
• 悪鬼羅刹(あっきらせつ) = man-eating fiend. Has Furigana. 羅刹(らせつ) is a demigod in Buddhism / Hinduism, it seems; but I don’t know much about the culture myself.
• 風前(ふうぜん)の灯火(ともしび) = precarious situation. No Furigana. It seems 火(ひ) can be omitted and still read the same. 灯火(ともしび) can also be used alone = a torch = 灯(とも)す + 火(ひ).
• 烏合(うごう)の衆(しゅう) = disorderly crowd; mob. Has Furigana. First Kanji is 烏(からす) = crow; raven.
• 不興(ふきょう)を買(か)う = to incur someone’s displeasure; to fall into disgrace

Let’s escape those wolves! Also Gogotsu is here again. What a weird teleporting wolf.

What a weird teleporting wolf that proclaims to go and defeat the current king and become the new king. I misunderstood it at first that Bardo is going to be the new king, but I think it’s what the kingdom is called. I need to pay more attention to particles.

ジョジョの奇妙な冒険10
-

不可解(ふかかい)なぼくのすべてを 1
start - 22

I think there was a book club for this one on WK, but I ended up not joining because it felt out of my league. Elsewhere, there’s another book club, so this time I’m joining that. tbh, not a fan of this start, especially with the groping to determine gender as that has to be one of the creepiest tropes. This series has been recommended a couple of times though by other queer folks, so I’m hoping it gets better soon.

Also rip Joseph. I’m sure I’ll convince myself to come back to Part 2 of JoJo After that, I think I enjoy Part 4 enough not to have the same problem. I know I like Jolyne of 6, so that’s not a problem either, and 7 was great at grabbing and keeping my attention when I skimmed the beginning.

Oh, I doubt I’ll finish Land of Lustrous before it’s made unavailable, so for now, I’ve added it to my buy physical copies in the future list.

[pocketcat]

I finished this week’s この本を盗むものは (I greatly enjoyed this whole chapter) and read the prologue of レベル７.
I’m not sure if I’ll continue it tomorrow or dive into this week’s 半落ち…or put off 半落ち a bit so I can binge read it-ish since I’m sure once I read the next chapter I won’t want to stop with only the final one remaining.

An overall sleepy day today; it was a bit harder than usual to get up the motivation to actually read something, but in the end I managed a few pages of 山猫 so all is well!

@pocketcat

Oof, a plains state I’m assuming? The weather reports looked awful. I’m glad you’re OK!

Indeed, it was quite the experience! It all worked alright, just a bit tired still haha. Thank you!

Quite a bit of reading today! Quite a bit of variety, too

• ch 93-94 of 極主夫道
• ch 1-9 of アタック!! which was all of vol 1 and the first like third of vol 2. The main character is so freaking stupid (affectionate). You can tell this series was definitely written for high school boys, but I still find it entertaining, so.
• 11 pages of この本を盗む者は, leaving off on pg 65
• some more of the さよなら、誰にも愛されなかった者たちへ preview
• Yesterday I started playing The Secret of Cat Island (mobile game), and today I changed the language to JP, so there was some of that, too

some vocab of note:

おとす [他サ五, colloquialism] to win over; to seduce; to conquer (unwillingness). This actually showed up as the furigana for 獲得す, presumably because this sense of 落とす isn’t used much so Sensei wanted to be sure the meaning was clear.
屈指 (くっし) [n., の-adj.] leading; foremost; preeminent; outstanding; one of the best.

Read Every Day Challenge Winter 2023 Review

ALRIGHT! Last day of the challenge! So here’s my goals from the start of this challenge and my thoughts, views, ideas, and self-criticism of my performance for this seasons challenge.

@WaniTsunami

Goals for this Challenge

• Focus on quality reading rather than quantity.
• Read harder books (Natively lvl 35-40)
• Finish 3 or 4 books

Goals Completed for this Challenge

• Focus on quality reading rather than quantity.
• Read harder books (Natively lvl 35-40)
• Finish 3 or 4 books

Focus on quality reading rather than quantity.

So this was a point for me that I felt in previous challenges I was just rushing to finish. I think overall, I did achieve this goal. 青ブタ12 was the only book I had finished during the challenge, but it was a good training run for stopping myself from reading just to finish and enjoy the story. I think ultimately when I moved to Re:Zero, I felt that I was less focused on getting to the end and more focused on enjoying my reading experience, which is ultimately why I dropped it and moved on to manga for a bit.

“But WaniTsunami, look at all the manga you read in these two months!”

Yes, Internal Dialogue Guy, I did get into a habit of reading manga daily when I was searching for the next book to get my attention. While I did get a lot of manga reading done, I was enjoying the time I was reading and finishing by the end day was just kind of a bonus. I think I really needed that time to remember how much I enjoyed reading, because Re:Zero 16 was just too slow for me at the end of the day.

After I got into reading 夜は短し歩けよ乙女 I found myself back and reading books again and the quality of my reading time rose sharply, but unfortunately with the sharp rise came an equally sharp fall, which I hope to get back to at a later challenge.

Read harder books (Natively lvl 35-40)

I achieved this with Re:Zero and 夜は短し歩けよ乙女. Despite not finishing, I had gotten pretty deep into both progress wise, with Re:Zero at around 65% completion and 夜は短し歩けよ乙女 around 47% completion.

Finish 3 or 4 books

The fact this is a green box with an “x” in it feels very appropriate. If I could do it over again, I would have gotten rid of this goal, because it spit in the face of my first goal. I did finish a considerable amount of manga so I did technically achieve this, but I was speaking about books not comic books. That’s really all I got to say about that.

Looking Forward

I am pretty good about getting reading practice in every day. It’s a habit I have had for a few years now, and I think with this challenge I need to set goals around completing a couple books and kind of do what I want on the side. I think if I set up my goals this way I can kind of change what it means to read every day for me. With the Advanced Book club picking 四畳半神話大系 being the next book, I want to finish that and possibly return to 夜は短し歩けよ乙女. Those 2 books are on my Japanese reading bucket lists and I am hellbent on finishing them this year.

Overall I am pretty happy with my results. I read 16 manga and 1 light novel, and started Steins;Gate and Chainsaw Man Buddy Stories. I am gonna enjoy the March break and probably just do my thing. It was fun updating you guys daily about my progress and I am happy some of you looked forward to my posts, that motivated me a lot at the end even though I couldn’t get the 3-4 book goal reached. Thanks for watching my journey and can’t wait for the Spring 2023 challenge! See you there!

Read:

• イジらないで、長瀞さん ch 123 - been a while since I tried a new one of these in jp before the english was out, pleasantly surprised at how much smoother they feel. Still had to look up some of the judo words and a little slang, but other than that I think I got most of it pretty quickly. I did get stumped by 「イエスかノーで答えてください 」for a minute though, somehow english words in japanese trip me up more than kanji
• 夜カフェ pg 137 → 145, finished ch 11 - I was kind of hoping to finish this by the end of the month, but i kept getting distracted putting it off lmao.
