A little bit of everything for me today: A book (時間割男子), a manga (少女たちの痕にくちづけを) and a VN (SeaBed). I’ll never run out of things to read, that’s for sure!
The last few days I read manga magazines and started playing Dragon Star Varnir. First thing first it runs poorly on a Steam Deck, have to play it on my PC. The japanese in this game is actually hard. I need to put a little effort playing it in japanese, which is great I hate when things are too easy. It’s about witches flying on brooms and dragons the perfect game for me.
I’ve been neglecting printed material for an unacceptably long time and it’s time to hit the books again. Looking for people to encourage me as I stretch these atrophied reading muscles. I’ll start with something I’ve already read until I’m back into the swing of things.
Well, I hit 100 pages. Good. Please don’t slap me now
Don’t think it’s possible to finish すべてがFになる tomorrow alongside other stuff, but you never know. Aim is for 100 pages overall across everything again anyway, to recover this week. Getting towards the meat and potatoes of it all.
Finished ch.1 of 思い出が消えない. It’s really long compared to chapters in the previous books - this book as a whole is longer. But it’s quite good. Probably the best out of the first 3 books so far, although early days. Text density and language difficulty is still pretty low as expected, although the different setting does provide some different language like 漁火.
Also finished ch.10 of ひぐらし. Also going well and feeling good. I think I’m getting towards the end of the first part of the VN, onikakushi. Think when I do finish this part, I might take a bit of a break from it for a while and focus on novels for a bit. I’ll come back to it though, and there’s still probably 1 more week before I get to that point.
Yesterday I got a bit further with あの子の子ども until page 73. Today I got sucked into a very stupid but cute new Lovestory 消えた初恋 since the first Volume is free right now on Bookwalker and I kinda wanted a change of pace. Probably won’t pursue it further but love trying different Manga if they are free anyway.
Started on a new book last night and it’s a dual language one being in English and Japanese so thought I’d join the challenge while reading it. It’s this big chunk of a book:
All about depictions of hell in Japanese art. I thought I’d make a challenge of it and instead of reading both the English and the Japanese text I thought I’d just read the Japanese and use the English as backup incase I don’t understand anything.
I always read at night and there is no tech in my sleeping room so I am forced to rely on brain only, so far it wasn’t too bad, I only had to check the English section for a few words. Thankfully the names of the artists do have furigana since some of them are really old and have odd readings.
