renshuu book club picks updated so i read some of those, intermediate and challenge.
intermediate was a fairly simple short story about a gorilla who owns too many books and needs a solution (was okay, cute enough. full furigana) and challenge was a 50-ish pg manga about girls who make music and (major spoiler) coming to terms with the death of your partner. content warning for grief for that one. it was a bit confusing in places but it expressed its emotions pretty well. don’t know if it was intentionally written as yuri but there are Vibes. read the same author’s other work i could find, about a brother’s attempts to save his sister who’s trapped in a painting, and that was not as good, much more confusing.
today’s nhk article was this one, plus the entry on わけではない in aDoIJG.
