alright, ouran vol 12 here we go! 
first chapter felt quite short, since we moved into teen love triangle drama territory it’s got a bit easier. also did the first chapter of vol 2 of no. 6, which continues to be kinda tricky but doable. main character now has white hair for Reasons 
pushed through to make it to start of section 4 of the bakumatsu book
today’s nhk article was this one, did the next bit of the granblue valentines thing, and the entries on したがって and そうかと言って
words that stood out:
