Today had quite a lot of reading (and quite a lot of listening), but not as much prose. I felt like some manga for a change! Went to a manga cafe for the first time in quite a while earlier, then stopped by at the bookshop on the way back for some more stuff! Found a very cheap copy of ホリミヤ 15, followed by a very expensive copy of ホリミヤ 16. But it includes a bonus picture book, and is brand new, and it’s the last one from the main story to complete my collection! So I didn’t mind it as much.
I finally got around to trying the 俺物語 manga.
Glad they get to the point quickly, and get together in the first volume, unlike the film.
I’m unsure if I’ll get through the many volumes of it anytime soon, but it was quite funny, and very easy, so I’ll probably stick it back on my list of things to get to before the heat death of the universe.
Also got through some more of ひぐらし. The chapters are getting longer and longer now that the story is picking up a bit. It’s getting a lot deeper, though!
Tomorrow an unknown amount of reading. Probably back to prose, and less manga.
I am really binging through this. Now I am almost done with the last free volume and bought the next five already.. Thought I was getting a good deal by reading free Manga buuuut guess that went different to what I expected
Such a lovely Manga though, love how both main characters support each other and how they face their challenges. Can’t wait to read more!
Favorite Word today:
散々 ・ さんざん ・ completely
Little weird fun fact: When I first learned 間違い I sometimes read it as かんちがい in my head even though I knew it was wrong. Now that I have seen 勘違い that doesn’t happen anymore. Silly little win is still a win
Played more Potion Craft today, 11h. There were some confusion - took some time for me to realize “levitation potion” was a thing, I thought it was something else. And what exact element the customer is looking for, whether they want a potion to protect against fire or to fight fire with ice.
Chapter of Maomao. I felt like it was missing something from when I watched the anime, so went back to check the episode; they had inserted a little scene between the last chapter and this one that flowed so naturally I didn’t realise it was an add. (And was a chance to foreshadow the second half of the season a little).
Two chapters of Yotsuba - one and a half before bed, and the rest of that half this morning.
Took a break from ドラゴンボール to read some NHK news articles on Todaii and random books on Tadoku. That felt so much easier. Manga Japanese is quite something
We getting the minimum done still. I’m actually finding the NHS Easy articles… too easy in some ways? I’m definitely not strong with some of the grammar, but they’re so short.
