3rd april
read two chapters and finished no.6 vol 3, which is the last one i have. only runs for 9 volumes, which either means the story has a lot simpler resolution than it looks or those last few volumes go at breakneck speed (or both). add it to the pile of things i’d like to get in digital and come back to it in like a year, i guess 
also read another thing from the renshuu book club, this comedic short story (pt 1, pt 2) about a murdered woman stuck in her own dead body as she watches the detectives bungle the investigation. not for me, i don’t think, tho the concept is interesting.
today’s nhk article was (half of) this one, plus the entries on ただ and ただの in aDoIJG
words that stood out
No. 6:
饒舌 - talkativeness, loquacity. got a feeling this has come up before but it’s been a while…
略奪 - pillage, plunder, looting
御髪 - hair (honourific).
elsewhere:
手羽 - chicken wing
reply to DIO-Berry
doesn’t she make a connection with the reaper with the halo (sally?)? could be reading it wrong, but to me it seemed from the last bit of dialogue that if she wanted she could visit when she liked, and sally said they might do the same. probably up to interpretation tho, cos we never see it
