📚📚 Read Japanese Every Day Challenge - Fall 2025 🎑🌕

December 14th :evergreen_tree:

All the mystery picks have been pretty long recently, so went with the pre-vetted again, which was - ああ東京は食い倒れ.

The children’s stories have led me into a false sense of thinking I can read Japanese, this one quickly reminded me that I still have a long way to go. There were many foods listed here, in both kanji and katakana, the katakana ones especially took a bit of working out at times.

I played a bit 英雄伝説 碧の軌跡.

There is still too much things to do and everything just keeps pilling up.

Tiny read while traveling. I’ve been very social this and last weekend. Feels good to meet friends again :3 One more week and then time for christmas vacation, then I can visit family.

国宝, 7.21% → 16.59%, 2h44m

Finished one chapter, 70% into the second one. I think it’ll be manageable to catch up with the club in two weeks. This season I feel like always catching up, first because of trips then because of JLPT. The winter challenge should be better! But may be I also should skip the next advanced book club… We’ll see.

逆転裁判, 1h50m

Finished the case! It took me soooo long. I didn’t touch the PS for eternity.

I didn’t read over the weekend but I finished 修学旅行で仲良くないグループに入りました today. There is one episode left in the drama too. I plan to read book 2 as its not too difficult for my level. Also I read a bit of the authors forward and was surprised that its a debut but I guess it makes sense being so easy to understand.

Yes. I feel this.

8/12 32 pages 老女的少女ひなたちゃん (finished chapter 72, read next), 18 pages ホリミヤ (finished page 93, started next)

9/12 16 pages 夜の名前を呼んで (read episode 14), 10 pages ホリミヤ (finished page 94, started next)

10/12 12 pages Spy Family

11/12 6 pages Spy Family

12/12 24 pages Spy Family (finished mission 113, read next), 23 pages ホリミヤ (finished page 95, read next)

13/12 8 pages 夜の名前を呼んで, re-read 24 pages 約束のネバーランド (chapter 57, start of next)

14/12 17 pages 蟲師 (finished week 3), 18 pages 舞妓さんちのまかないさん (read chapters 112+113), 15 pages 夜の名前を呼んで (finished episode 15)

Doing better since the exam but I’ve been unwell with a cold (I did my best not to cough during the exam and suppressing it seems to have made things worse :rofl:).

I’ve reached the point where despite being about 3 volumes ahead at one point, the 約束のネバーランド club will catch me next week so I’ll start reading again. I stopped when I was really behind g with everything which shows that I’ve been in that state for months…

I am slowly catching up with current reads and nothing that I’m actively reading is more than 3 weeks behind now. Aim for end of the week is nothing more than 2 weeks behind!

Read the mystery pick today: 麻雀インチキ物語 :mahjong_red_dragon:

This was a hard one. It was full of Mahjong jargon - I know a few, but only the words from hearing them rather than seeing how they are written. So I got rather lost. It didn’t help that even though I enjoy Mahjong (I mean, I do have my own Mahjong set and everything) I didn’t find this piece very interesting, and what with it being difficult to read as well I kept losing focus many times.

・聖女ヴィクトリアの考察 1 (75% → 100%) Natively

I changed my pc layout situation. It is suddenly easier to read. Spent 2-3 hours finishing book, finally! :eyes: :sparkles: It was good, I like. And definitely not L22 as natively initially suggested. More like L32.

*12月14〜15日*

For once I’m consolidating not because I forgot to post, but because I read right through midnight and didn’t even notice

・117 pages of 宝石商リチャード氏の謎鑑定, finishing the volume!
・50 pages of 宝石商リチャード氏の謎鑑定    天使のアクアマリン, reading case 1 and leaving off on pg 60

「チェック」

「え?」

ホールのチケットカウンターの前で、リチャードは俺を促し、軽く一回転してみせた。

「仮にもドレスコードのある席です。服装、髪、ゴミ、問題ありませんか」

「どこも問題ないよ。いつも通り、世界一きれいな男が俺の目の前に立ってる」

カウンターのお姉さんがものすごい勢いで咽せ始めた。風邪だろうか。

That’s one more person who now thinks Seigi and Richard are dating, and ofc Seigi’s oblivious as usual lmao

Seigi absolutely had a crush on his senpai in karate back in middle school, and he actually might not have been completely oblivious about it?? First he feeds Richard fruit caramels while he’s driving and now this, I think I’m losing my mind. And case 3 ended with Seigi asking Richard if he’s free after this and nothing came of it, and case 4 ends with Richard asking Seigi if he’s free after this and they go out to eat.

I think Seigi also made the bartender at the hotel bar that Richard frequents think they’re dating too. It’s the first time Richard’s brought someone with him and that someone’s asking to go halfsies?

I don’t get why Seigi thinks the married couple in 3-1 are cute when the husband only cares about his own interests and puts down the things his wife likes, and the wife finds her husband’s infodumping about stones annoying. She claims she doesn’t hate it, but she’s certainly had more than enough of it. They don’t seem like a good fit for each other, honestly.

「三人も男を産んだんですよ。一人も家事を手伝いやしない」

Maybe… you should have taught them to? You can’t complain about your children not having values that you never raised them to have. I mean, you can. Clearly. But it’s nonsensical.
