I played a bit early Friday, but didn’t have many lookups and got too tired to post this. So I’m continuing the post into Saturday. And…I played all morning. Good progress.

:soccer: ブルーロック Vol 4 Manga 0 → 45/191 pgs
:soccer: ブルーロック 戦いの前、僕らは。 潔・凪・蜂楽 Light Novel 007 → 008/208 pgs

Started Vol 4 of Bluelock yesterday, read about 5 pages, and then another 40 today to complete the first two chapters of this volume. The first chapter had a big chunk of character back story so that had a fair bit of new vocabulary, but the second chapter felt nice and simple and was easy enough to get through.

Only managed to get through one page of the light novel, I’m struggling to focus on it for long periods of time, especially if anything else is going on around me. I think I need to try and find half an hour/hour to just sit down with it distraction free. Hopefully tomorrow.

:soccer: ブルーロック Vol 4 Manga 45 → 65/191 pgs
:soccer: ブルーロック 戦いの前、僕らは。 潔・凪・蜂楽 Light Novel 008 → 013/208 pgs

Found half an hour this morning to sit down with the light novel and work through a few pages. So far the way it’s written is fairly easy to understand, and there’s not a crazy amount of new vocab which is nice.

Another chapter down in the manga as well.

Some new words from today’s pages:

  • 脇役 わきやく supporting cast
  • 論外 ろんがい absurd, out of the question
  • ぬいぐるみ cuddly toy

Today: finished Chap. 23 of よつばと! Vol. 4.

Wheee, got to read a bit. Energy level is getting back to normal. Nice, nice. I do wish I could read more though.

Spoiler thoughts

lmao, Rozemyne is not being scolded as much as usual in the replies from Ferdinand and it worries her. “Ohno, maybe he deems me a kid not worth scolding anymore? …Frick, I’ll do exactly as he says from now on like a good kid, just please scold me!”
