I’ve only watched the anime which I enjoyed but I guess it’s a little on the twee side?
But it’s so good!!!
I liked the first volume but I feel like nothing is drawing me in anymore as much as I want to like it
tbh i was mostly coasting off my chill memories of the anime until i got to the point where i was outpacing the anime (it really starts exploring magical stuff which is suitably weird while still being really chill)
it’s a really comfy anime

- Surprisingly Day 3 trial in Case 3 of 逆転裁判 is flying by. Very much a game where you just want to keep playing, though I had stuff to do (but good god, I can actually read this… wild). Might be done tomorrow unless there’s any crazy twists and turns.
- Another chapter of ふつうの軽音部
Been keeping up a steady amount of reading every day, even if it is only one page on occasion .
I’m into chapter 3 now of ハイキュー!!. I’ve watched the anime previously a couple of years ago but it’s fun reading it in Japanese.
Managed to get my reviews from 500 to 0, but they have already come back up to 300 however! I’m being much more consistent now and moving a lot more out of apprentice. I’m holding off on new lessons while I bring the review count under control.
I freaking love the graded readers. Only read one though because I want to use a textbook for the rest of my study today

Late night post tonight.
A change of plans happened today, but for the better. Since I had a meeting with a friend delayed today, I was able to spend some time finishing up projects I was meant to work on later in the week. Very happy about this since that means a lot of my time will open up more in the coming days, yay!
-
Most of my reading today has been through Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom yet again, but that’s quite okay. Sometimes, times will get shorter due to restraints on your day-to-day and that’s okay. It’s okay for you guys too! Even if you miss a day, it’s okay as long as you’re doing your best!
-
All this being said, my plans for tomorrow are to finish up a lot of my upcoming work (I’ve made pretty good progress this weekend), I will also try to at the very least play some Zelda for reading, and if I have more time some Frieren and Dungeon Meshi! I’ll make sure to update you guys again tomorrow and how my progress and scheduling is all going.
And again, as always, best of luck to everyone in their daily lives, reading, studies, and Japanese learning journey! 頑張るぜ!!

ゼルダの伝説 知恵のかりもの | 10月13日 | ~1h10m |
Day 13: It was last day off, so I decided to just binge-read as much as humanly possible. Finished volumes 10-16 of Shadows House. I think that’s the most manga I’ve ever read on one single day and my brain just didn’t want to brain anymore after that.
However, that means that I’m finally almost caught up to the current volume… so I can continue reading slowly~ yay .
The real reading challenge will begin now, though, because I’ll have to actually carve out the time in my schedule instead of reading all day~ …
Hope everyone’s reading challenge is going well!

I mathed wrong lol. I thought I had finished the 2nd chapter in the volume, but it was just a spread that looked like a chapter cover. So I read some more pages of chapter 2
October 13th
And finished the 2nd chapter last night (chapter 13 of SBR)
That’s the thing though, I want to use more Japanese cultural symbols and I don’t think they’re intuitive
No problem. Thanks, it’s been a good one in some ways. I hope yours was good and that you have a good week!
October 13
Read some ビブリア古書堂の事件手帖2 (76% → 82%) and finished ハイキュー!! Vol. 17 (I had like a chapter left).
Day 14: Read 1 chapter in volume 17 of Shadows House and decided that it’ll be enough for today~ going to go back to work after making hot cocoa .

About 2000 characters of the second episode of Kirakira Monstars plus a little of Island. Island is still not easy, but it’s a lot easier than it was in the beginning!

・本好きの下剋上 27 (45.69% → 49.83%) || Read: 8.9k char || Progress: 106 980 / 214k char
I started reading late. Book thoughts: This part of the year has so much admin stuff and its almost like reading about them doing chores, sigh. I want the school year to start already.
I think that’s fine too. I saw that you left an explanation for this season’s emojis in the opening post Even if not intuitive, there’s going to be an explanation and people can learn something new. You can choose to have seasonal emojis as you like, I’ll leave it up to you :3
