Today I read up to this week’s chapter in the IBC and it turns out our main character has the self preservation instincts of a lemming. Also someone abducted kenji?

I’m done! I did it! I finally finished コンビニ人間 and I’m free! It’s funny we were reading 24k characters a week for 999, and yet somehow this ~60k long book took me ages. Amazing what being interested in the material can do.
I may have missed three reading days so far (50% success rate 
) but it’s okay because I managed to eek out the last of this book.
Now I’ve got to finish Adabana this weekend, and I’m almost halfway thru my bingo card. I’ll commit to finishing the Digimon manga series and one book by the end of this challenge…but should it be 本好き, トリニティ・ブラッド, 転生したらスライムだった件, or 後宮の検屍女官? Honestly I went on a ebook buying spree so I have dozens of options, but I also own the audiobooks for 本好き and てんすら. OTOH 宮の検屍女官 is something I’ve never read in English but the vocab is probably mostly unknown to me.
I read one level 0 Tadoku story. Felt less intimidating and lighter-hearted than reading a NHK NewsWebEasy article yesterday.

Read a bit of HP over the weekend but only a few lines a day tbh so I didn’t post. Today was this week’s section of hinata-chan and a chunk of HP. I think 1% of HP is more than one print page but I haven’t been paying attention to the page numbers because I’m reading digitally. Starting to see a lot of improvement in remembering vocab that’s often repeated in the prose.
9th april i keep wanting to write january, why
read just over 20 pages of the bakumatsu book which took me to the end of section five. section six is the last one! also read the intermediate difficulty renshuu book club pick, which is a short story about a man talking to his daughter about his time in tokyo in his youth. was fine? no strong feelings either way. full furigana tho
today’s nhk article was this one, plus the entry on 点で in aDoIJG
word of the day: ごわす - kyuushuu dialect for ‘to be’ (polite, like ござる・ございます)

Used the choice branch (Mail List) menu, instead of following the walkthrough. If something major is missing, like an ending, I will reconsider later.
Plugged in a joypad to avoid breaking the laptop keyboard. Press A repeatedly, as SKIP is disastrous and default to not making a choice. Learned how to use a joypad, as the game is keyboard shortcuts first.
Audio is not cut on the next line (pressing A) if the following line is not spoken. Nor does it pause on hiding the written text (enjoying the CG). Indeed, this counts as a listening practice with optional reading of the backlog (pressing Y).

Lots of reading today. Two VNs (Island and Christmas Tina) plus the novel スーパーカブ
Christmas Tina doesn’t work too well with Textractor, so I had to spend some time finding an alternative. Luna Host seems OK for now. Not perfect, but OK.

Read another chapter of ちょこちゃん and this Lv2 Tadoku book, ヴィトリアレジア ブラジル先住民のお話から.
Kageness’ home post Fifth time participating! I was pretty busy with school and stuff so I couldn’t keep it consistent last season but I plan to increase my reading both in Japanese and academically! I’ll take it slow as always.
I want to increase the games I play in Japanese and also increase my reading speed.
I’ll use my standart format which I write a sentence or two in Japanese about the progress on the novel I read that day so that might help you get some reading even when you’re scrolling here.

April 9th!
2 chapters of それでも歩は寄せてくる today.
I only have 2 more chapters left of volume 1 now, so I’m trying to decide whether to carry on to volume 2, or try something else. I’m enjoying it, but I have a fair bit of free time at the moment so I’m thinking I might save reading this until I need something with short chapters that I can read quickly, and make the most of my extra time right now by reading something a bit more challenging.
April 1 - 7, 2024
I haven’t been able to update everyday but I’ve been able to read everyday so far! The last three nights, I’ve been reading at the end of the day because of a lot of errands on the weekend related to moving.
What I read:
Awwww. I love stories like this! Nice to know it progresses that way. You’re 20 episodes ahead of me now! Now I feel like I need to catch up with you. 
Definitely a slow start but those first couple of episodes got me really imagining the smell of bread in the morning.
