Yesterday I played a bit Ninja Gaiden Sigma in japanese. Of course I already finished the game in english but it was still nice replaying it in japanese.
Besides that I read some manga magazines.
Today: close rereading of p. 70-73 of よつばと! Vol. 4.

Day 23!
Last few days I’ve been more busy and opted out of posting, what I did both days was primarily play Trails in the Sky with the club here, getting something like 10k characters each time. But I’m also mixing in a lot of untracked SMT5 and stuff, so I’m still moving.
Today I went back to Umineko and oof, the difficulty difference between that and Chaos;Head is pretty large. I could’ve kept going, but I mined a crazy amount of words dragging slowly through just 4,000 characters because this section was particularly technical, sort of an infodump about how someone built up their wealth. Very little tracked reading today then, but I’ll have even more time for SMT5 or something.
It’s never a good sign when you look up a Japanese word, read the English translation (this time terms like “capital stock”) and wonder what exactly the English means

I tried following the advice I got from the doctors at the ER yesterday. I’m still feeling weak, but it’s helping. Now I just need to be patient with myself and let my body restore energy.

@NicoleIsEnough @MarnieDEB @Lisaveeta @soggyboy @nyxqueenofshadows Thank you for the well-wishes 
I just have to say, this combination of emojis made it feel like a real 見舞い, like I’m actually at the hospital and you visited me for real 
It was really nice, I appreciate it.

- Finished 悪役令嬢, will come back to this, still a bit tiring/difficult (scan quality doesn’t help) for an easy read.
- Started ふつうの軽音部 pretty casually, nice to jump back to something where I don’t have to look up words for pages at a time.

がかり person in charge
(note: DeepL tells me that はこびがかり is ”man in charge of delivering mail during the Edo period" or “man in charge of carrying a geisha or prostitute into the ring,” making me wonder if some very adult-level joke is happening in this panel…)

I started a new book today - 元カレの猫を、預かりまして。It looks good so far!
Really looking for an interesting book that feels not too easy and not too hard.
