Read:
・31 pages of 不機嫌な青春, finishing the third story and starting the first chapter of the fourth, and leaving off on pg 189
I’m hoping I can finish this soon, since I’m really wanting to read かぜつよ now too… The last story is nearly 100 pages long—over a third of the whole volume. (I’ve got ~80 pages left.)
Anyways, the third one was pretty good. Not sure what to think of the last one so far.
Played:
・聖剣伝説３ Trials of Mana (08:03⇒09:19)
It was a little longer than that, actually, but we got a TPKO, so. That’s the time on the save file. Anyway, found out that at the mana stones, you can change your class at lv 18 and then lv 38, and it’s only the second where you need a special item. We were lv 19 when we found the first one, so we went ahead and did that. Right after was the first boss battle of the day, where Hawkeye and Duran actually leveled up twice, and Reese was <300 xp from a second level-up as well. The second boss, another level after that, was the TPKO… I will be reattempting next time I play.
some vocab of note
頭ごなし (あたまごなし) [adv., n.] unsparingly; without listening to the other party; without giving the other party the chance to explain
ポケットベル [n.] pager; beeper. 和製英語 from “pocket bell.”
Today I notices that I actually just wanted to read, instead of doing it because I should. The last time I had this was maybe with あの子の子ども in the first few volumes.
Of course motivation is not linear and a lot of factors play into it, but I do love it when something just catches me like that.
Rather than works by professional artists this section has art done by the everyday folk of 17th Century Japan, with each depicting one of the ten lords of hell.
Finished book! Number 9 of the challenge I believe. Amazing. Very happy with this book.
It took a long time, though. It’s a bit slow going. I might read a bit later before bed but I’ll put it in tomorrow’s reading if so.
Constitution day today! Not much time to read, but I did read a little SeaBed. It’s easier to read in the winter when it’s cold and dark and I don’t want to be outside, than now when it’s almost summer! Still reading a little every day though, just not that much.
some pixiv and other bits and pieces in jp, plus some more of the translation book. it’s more like a themed short essay collection than a chaptered book with a clear through-line, if that makes sense.
Another chapter of SWAG, still behind the club I think but should catch up today if I’m not too tired
Started casually reading a cute werewolf girl meets normal dude manga which seems pretty good. These endless normal dude meets weirdo girl high schoolers manga can get repetitive but sometimes you strike gold.
