Kageness’ home post
Ninth time participating! I decided to get myself a natively account to keep track of the Japanese books I’m reading. When I was entering the start and finished books I read in past I realized that I read less and less. So I want to get through this slump this month and finish the book I’m reading which I’m a quarter way in.
my plans
Just want to read more books at this point. After pretty much a whole year that went without reading much I realized that I craved reading books. I somehow don’t have any difficulty reading right now and want to take advantage of that. Might take on N1 exam next year too.
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.
Planned Books:
いのちの食べ方 3/ How to Eat Life
(and possibly more I plan on buying the new books on series I’m reading too)

Finished the book! I barely remembered anything from the previous chapters since I started the book 2 years ago, but the last chapter turned out to be quite philosophical, which was difficult but also interesting. I probably missed some connections to people from previous chapters, but that’s okay.

Half of this week’s 六人の噓つきな大学生 - ch.3 done. Looking forward to ch.4.
Also did another day of ひぐらし. Good.
Finished this week’s reread of 木曜日にはココアを. Not a drastically different experience from last time so far, but definitely there’s some things I just skipped over last time which I can focus in on this time. Going for complete comprehension basically given I know the book quite well.
I also finally (after almost a month now) got back to 風立ちぬ. Sentences are still as head-wranging as ever, which isn’t an experience I commonly have with other books. The content is getting sadder and sadder too. I’ll try finish it in the next few days so I can tick it off the list, but I’m sure I’ll come back to this book.
Overall I did quite a lot today, 気がしませんなのに, even without my typical weekend burst of 100 pages from a single book or something. Plus lots of listening and cracked open my textbook. Must have been 6 or 7 hours spent on Japanese today.

This week apparently did not want me to read more of コーヒーが冷めないうちに
Wednesday morning I managed to hurt myself training and really pissed off my sciatic nerve, that slowed me down generally and in my moping I did not do any of the more effortful work on Japanese.
Then on Saturday I was feeling more confident that the nerve situation was on the mend so I went to train again and absolutely wrecked my ankle. Today it’s swollen to about twice its normal size.
Still, I read something every day! 
We take the wins where we can some weeks.

Decided to write an update because there is something else i decided to read – a wikipedia article about Nintendo Switch. Probably because there was a second switch announced. Was bearable thanks to yomitan.
13th april
took me most of the afternoon but i read the entire rest of he who drowned the world! somehow manages to be even more depressing than the first one but was never a slog. good duology, first one is overall the stronger of the two imo. planned to go on the world ends with you but it didn’t happen. did some pixiv instead
