another ouran chapter done! and it threw a bunch of henry v (the shakespeare play) at me 
ah well, i got there (ish). randomiser intially gave me エデンの檻 but i only managed about 40 pages of that before abandoning it, it’s way more ecchi than i’m comfortable with (and is also showing its age a bit). back to randomiser and it gave me No. 6, which i’ve got three volumes of. first chapter was okay (but long), little technical in places but doable. more pages in the bakumatsu book
today’s nhk article was this one, plus the entries on さ (particle) and さえ in aDoIJG
words that stood out
桜蘭：
手玉 - beanbag (little ones, for throwing)
詩神 - the Muses
No. 6：
局部麻酔 - local anaesthetic
防波堤 - breakwater
精子 - semen. whatever context you’re imagining, can (almost) guarantee it wasn’t that
