Speed is not the goal - I repeat, speed is not the goal - but my reading speed for ひぐらし is definitely gradually increasing, as a lot of the weirder vocab that it uses repeats more and more, and I get more used to the format of a VN. Nice to see.
I finished ch.6 today. Something big is around the corner. I didn’t get through the hints/tips, though, so I’ll leave that for another day. This chapter was a long one.
Finished off 風立ちぬ. A deeply difficult book to read, and deeply sad as well. Glad to have read it, regardless. I didn’t think I was capable of reading something like this at this stage before starting, but with a lot of dictionary usage, we got there. Number 3(?) of the challenge, although having finished 75% of it last challenge.
short bit of masquerade, almost at the halfway mark! my comprehension on rakugo isn’t great, tbh, and it usually takes multiple reads of a page to get it but i’m gonna miss it when i’m done. (there’s more volumes but this is the last one i own).
For now I have moved on to something easier and just binged the whole volume. Maybe I was a bit romance deprived lol, but also the language is just way easier then the Novel. A nice change for sure.

Books today - a little 時間割男子 and a little 木曜日にはココアを. One children’s book and one with short stories for adults. It’s fun to read different books!
4 NHK Easy News articles before bed. Very hard day at work today, I’m really tired and I don’t feel like struggling through manga right now. I guess it’s still better than nothing. Will read more tomorrow.
