風 continues. sometimes the characters will swing wildly from one emotion to another so that the plot can continue forward but i think i’m getting used to it. she should’ve made it gay tho. 今日から俺は！！ is still fun. mitsuhashi is such a gremlin

Didn’t spend a ton of time reading but not so bad. Weird day all around.
Had a 5 hour train ride today and used some of to time to get some reading in. around 20 pages グッドナイト、アイラブュー.
Not much but pretty hard anyway, since there was a person introduced with 関西弁. I do understand some, but mostly I don’t

SeaBed, SeaBed and more SeaBed! Still reading the prologue and wondering how long it is. Really enjoying the VN though, even though it’s a litte confusing at times!
i got curious and checked howlongtobeat and apparently the whole game is about 15-17 hours? tho it’s a small sample size and it’ll depend on reading speed etc. etc.
For native speakers? Sure. I could probably read it even faster in English. In Japanese? About 100 hours is my guess right now. 20 hours so far and not yet at 25%. Not complaining though - I really enjoy it! It’s a looong project though.

Started reading new manga today, Another 
Read for around 2 hours, 73 pages in total. I watched this years ago, but I don’t remember anything other than the famous elevator scene and umbrella scene, so it’s quite interesting to read.
Also, finished Chapter 4 of Quartet 1

・47 pages of 風が強く吹いている, finishing ch 4 and leaving off on pg 210
・わたしが恋人になれるわけないじゃん、ムリムリ！(※ムリじゃなかった⁉︎) ch 1
I picked up わたなれ① at HPB today. I don’t have very much GL, like, at all, so I was happy to find this one which looks good. 立ち読みd like half of ch 1 at the store and finished it at home, and then it was back to reading かぜつよ.
清瀬の頭上で、春の星座が貴い王冠のように輝いていた。
I love that image. And now I can’t wait even more to get to the “The stars are beautiful tonight” line. I know that was at the training camp, but I’m not sure what chapter that is. Maybe 5? So I should be close.
I forgot we get Haiji’s terrible/dangerous driving before that though lmao. How did this guy even get his license?
勇み足 (いさみあし) [n.] overeagerness; rashness
idk the source for it, it was a screenshot from a google search that had the webpage title cut off, but it apparently was originally going to be a BL. If true, idk if she decided to change it or was made to change it, but we still get some pretty frikkin gay lines, including a disguised/literary confession (modeled after Souseki’s “月が綺麗ですね” which apparently only certain types of nerds recognize as a confession these days?? so it can be slipped in as a subtle nod), which I always completely lose my mind over
Agreed, but I’m happy that the kakehai is 100% intentional

today’s nhk article was this one (mothers)
it didn’t say so i have no idea but presumably. times ranged from 14 hours to 23 so 
but yeah, 1000% reading in non-native language takes way longer. it takes me two to three times as long to read something in jp compared to eng, probably longer than that if i’m doing loads of lookups. as long as you’re having fun, that’s all that counts!
i also remembered seeing this and couldn’t remember where, turns out it might be from her BL essay book シュミじゃないんだ? which seems to be out of print
