had no internet for a while so today was a good day to start ๆŽขๅต(ใŸใ‚“ใฆใ„)ใ‚ฌใƒชใƒฌใ‚ช by ๆฑ้‡Žๅœญๅพ(ใฒใŒใ—ใฎใ‘ใ„ใ”) which is a series of short detective mystery stories and the first in this series. itโ€™s a little tricky, with some rarer kanji, minimal furigana, and basically none for names. fine for ่‰ฏไป‹(ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†ใ™ใ‘) less so for ้พ็”ท(ใŸใคใŠ) or whatever ไธ€ไน‹ is supposed to be :sweat_smile: but iโ€™m having fun so far! only about 23 pages in tho (about a third of the first story). itโ€™s quite long too, 300-smth pages, so iโ€™ll be reading this for a while i think :sweat_smile:

todayโ€™s nhk article was this one, plus the entries on Vmasu and Vmasu as noun in aDoIJG

words that stood out:

ใšใ‚“ใใ‚Š - short and stout
ๅ”–่€…(ใ‚ใ—ใ‚ƒ) - (a) mute, a mute person
ๅญๆฉŸ(ใ“ใ) - telephone extension, cordless phone. the base unit is called ่ฆชๆฉŸ(ใŠใ‚„ใ) which is cute
ใƒใƒชใ‚ฟใƒณใ‚ฏ - plastic container, like a water/petrol tank
