I want to go through the whole book before the exam. Otherwise, if I pass, I have a feeling that I won’t finish it, and I don’t like not finishing things.
I won’t be able to finish the grammar book though, I just don’t have time for it. But I have a hope (or illusion) that I’ll do it even after the exam just to train myself a little bit. たぶん。
Starting very late, but I would like to complete this challenge. 
I am going to be using graded Japanese Readers, the NPO Tadoko readers starting with Level 2 volume 1.

Finished Slam Dunk!!! It’s been a couple of months but this is my biggest manga project completed in Japanese so far. The last volume is absolutely amazing
Also almost finished 硝子の塔, would have tried yesterday but very sleep deprived so let myself sleep for 11 hours instead
I’ll finish it this weekend with lots of time on trains
And probably make some more progress through LN

October 31st
Happy Hallowe’en!
Started on another short story by Akutagawa, think I’ll go through several of his short stories until December. Continuing the painting theme, decided to read Autumn Mountain next!
the English title seems to omit the 図 part of the title
秋山図
There’s no chapters to this one as it’s really quite short, I read about 1/4 to a 1/3 of the way through.
I only read a few pages yesterday. I was surprised both by how much I remembered and by how much I’ve forgotten. I finished the first story today. Reading with a migraine is no fun.
