One year ago (2023/02/18) I started reading my first manga (ルリドラゴン 1 with the ABBC).
Well today I just finished 舞妓さんちのまかないさん12 and that is my 100th book read in Japanese 
So close now!
Wow, congrats!! Your progress is so cool to see!
I totally skipped reading in japanese for one week because I was engrossed reading in english the 10 volumes of The Apothecary Diaries light novels, and I must say, ladies and gentlemen, that I regret nothing 
Well, I was reading in a foreign language (for me), so at least I progressed on one front, I might say.
Buuut, the next volumes are in japanese, level 38 acording to Learn Natively, so now, back to work !!!

かえるくん、東京を救う (Super Frog saves Tokyo), short story by Haruki Murakami, 2 pages.
I must propose this reading to the BBC, it’s my duty as a Murakami Haruki fan. When I think this short story can’t surprise me anymore, it does, and this time it was with a really moving page.

So I switched from Game Pass to Steam for Persona 3 so I could sync saves from computer to Steam deck easily. This meant I had to save again, as saves aren’t compatible between the two versions, so “let’s just play through in English to where I was and pick up from there” was my thought. Sadly, if you change your game language it resets MC’s name, so I started from the start in Japanese again. At least it was faster and easier this time, but between Portable, Game Pass, Steam in English and now Steam in Japanese, this is my fourth time going through the intro sequence, so I’d kind of expect it to be. Still, now everything is set regardless of which device I play on for a Japanese playthrough, so forward game progress next time.

Read 4 chapters of チョコっとちょこちゃん today. Since I’m so close to the end, and so close to the end of February, I decided to try and finish it before the end of the month. 20 pages to go!

硯箱「すずりばこ」ー Inkstone case
I LOVE the apothecary diaries. I started reading through the light novels recently too! I’m in the middle of volume 6! I wish they had an english physical release.
My Update:
I think I’m gonna stop mentioning 二ノ国 unless it’s the only reading I’ve had for the day 
It’s hard for me to keep track of how long I played and sometimes it’s more reading than other times, etc…
I initially hated the art in Bungo Stray Dogs Dazai, Chuuya Aged 15. The legs in particular really bug me.
But it really grew on me by the end of the volume. It got a really horror-vibe at times.
サツドウ is this random new series I found about a guy raised to be a super awesome assassin who just wants to try out being a salaryman. It’s dumb in a way that I love. 
Other than no furigana and random body vocabulary that you don’t really need to know, it wasn’t too bad difficulty wise.

I’m actively reading HP, I really want to finish it in February 
Feb 22nd!
Another 7.5 pages of the Orange light novel today. I’m hoping to finish it before my trip to Japan next month, but that might be a bit ambitious!
February 21
Read the last chapter + epilogue of あなたも殺人犯になれる！ and therefore finished!! My first finished book this year, which means I’m…behind, but I basically had no life in January so hopefully it’s okay. I left my toughts about it on the bookclub thread. It was a fun read.
I also played about 20 min of 逆転裁判. I’ll probably finish the case I’m on before thinking about starting another book. We’ll see what I do. I’m also back to reading manga a bit (ハイキュー‼) so I have several options.

かえるくん、東京を救う (Super Frog saves Tokyo), short story by Haruki Murakami, pages 23 & 24/36.
2/3 of the short story : \o/
Also, yesterday I couldn’t resist more and bought The Apothecary Diaries volume 11 in japanese. It’s level 38 on Learn Natively and clearly, it’s above my level but somehow, I managed to understand the big picture. However, I’ve read only 5 pages in 2 hours and at the end, I was exhausted 
I think I’ll keep on reading for now, but if it becomes too difficult, I’ll try again in a few months.

Fujiki is my least favorite story so far on Satori Reader 
it’s just using a lot of themes that I don’t enjoy: violence, revenge, supernatural, demons
Learned アベック from 時をかける少女. It means a couple (of lovers, etc.) and what blew my mind is that I read that it comes from the French language, but I am French and I had no idea what word it could be, had to research it 
(it comes from “avec” → “with”)
Also I really like this feature with ttsu reader, the pictures are only revealed when you click on them, as to avoid spoilers! Like this picture, that reveals the cliffhanger at the end of the chapter, nice that you don’t see the content while you read.
Oh, I thought it was for users reading NSFW material, lol. I turned the blur off as it was super distracting.
