Some more Persona 3 today as I slowly make my way into May.
Home post // March 26 
What to read? I still have Kusuriya 12-14, but I’ve had my fill of Kusuriya for now (the anime has ended too after all). I’d love to continue Honzuki (17), but if I start that I’ll have to read all the way to 21 and that’s not for now. There’s Saikawa & Moe (8) book club having just started, but I’m terrible at following BC schedules, I’d rather catch up later instead.
Kekkon 8 got me hooked on romance again and I bought a few 1st volumes last year. One is 拝啓見知らぬ旦那様、離婚していただきます which seems interesting but it’s a five volume series already, something short would be nice right now.
Toiuwakede, kochira wo erabimashita:

Prediction: Silly romcom fantasy drama? Looks like there are just two volumes and that’s short enough for me.

This week’s Renshuu book club oneshot is the best. I highly recommend it, especially if you like certain recent shonen hit anime.
I tried to read LaLa but started falling asleep almost immediately lmao
to macalys - Jungle Escape!
so excited for you to catch up to us! 
This intro is great to get used to the style. One of the techniques it uses (for kids) that works really well for us learners (and as a paper read) is having an overview (bold) at the start of the section and parenthetical remarks (to explain something a kid wouldn’t understand). Those both reduce my lookups a lot. And the hardest text they put in the tips/hint format and is not crucial to the story so I read it much more extensively than the rest (the densest horizontal text; take advantage of the vocab sheet!)
get very jealous every time i see someone new playing infinite wealth, it looks so fun but i’ve got like, 5 games left to play in the series before i get there 
ah well

- Finished my casual read of 焼いてる二人２. Very chill, though I probably need to write down some vocab here and there - it’s all very daily use stuff, which is why it’s even more annoying i don’t remember some of it on-sight
It’s funny when you see the kanji for words that have been adopted into english, like 津波、柔道 or 空手
You got this!

ジャングルから脱出せよ - Jungle Escape, 3 pages.
薬屋のひとりごと volume 11, 7 pages.
When I began to read The Apothecary Diaries in japanese, it was really difficult to read more than 2 or 3 pages consecutively, but now I can read 6 or 7 pages in a row before getting tired. I have less look ups too.

Today was a reaaaally lazy morning, got to read a lot. Kimochi yokatta. There was a phrase I thought was very funny:
高貴なる存在の務め = Noblesse oblige. (Such a long phrase first of all.) It’s funny because I’ve gotten hooked on a certain song lately called ノンブレス・オブリージュ, especially the cover by Minase. (The song title is a pun.) It was just yesterday when I learned what that expression meant (there’s a wikipedia page on it), so I was very amused when it showed up while reading today.

I finally finished off this volume of LaLa . I’ll get the next one when I see it for a good price from BOOKOFF. Which might not be a while if the popularity of other ongoing series I read is any indication.
I’m thinking of reading vol 4 of Super 
or more JoJo 
next. I’ll have a lot of concurrent book clubs, so I probably shouldn’t overburden myself.
22/3 17 pages セーラー服と機関銃 (finished week 5 and started next), 10 pages シャドーハウス (finished volume 16), aDoIG special topics: conversational strategies, かと言うと and 代わりに
23/3 10 pages ホリミヤ
24/3 3 pages セーラー服と機関銃
25/3 7 pages ホリミヤ (finished page 12), aDoIG 結構
26/3 4 pages Spy Family, aDoIG この
27/3 7 pages Spy Family, aDoIG こうした
28/3 8 pages 舞妓さんちのまかないさん (read week 4)
Well, I did well on the last day travelling back from my trip, despite the 4am start. But since then - not so good. Monday should have been a good day as I was off but I was exhausted. I’ve worked every other day since I got back, but at least I’ve read a little each evening.
I’m working this evening (but am going to read now) then off over the weekend, so hopefully I can catch up with my books, which I’ve barely touched this week. Manga are all up to date pretty much.
