📚📚 Read Japanese Every Day Challenge - Summer 2024 🏖🍉🏏

August 26th!
A chapter of Teasing Master Takagi-san today. It was a very cute one.

August 27th!
Half of chapter 6 of ウスズミの果て today. Usually when I’m reading with a club and there is a split chapter I read the whole thing, but the amount of text was unusually dense and there was a lot of unknown vocab, so I stopped at the halfway point.

i’m not gonna count yesterday. i did read some jp text but i didn’t really set out to read, if that makes sense. i…still haven’t started revenant gun yet. in my defence i finished yakuza 7 instead.

予知夢(よちむ) continues to be enjoyable, even if yukawa will occasionally make some wild leaps in logic. like, bro, there is no way you can definitively state that, you’re making things up

aDoAJG entries were ましてや and また

words that stood out

タクト - baton (it’s from german)
ブルゾン - blouson (it’s from french), jacket gathered at the waist. image searches suggest something more like a windbreaker.
見舞(みま)う - specifically the ‘to attack, to hit, to strike’ meaning

  • Got through day 1 of the trial for 逆転裁判、back to 探偵 mode for a bit. Enjoying it a lot but will probably take a break after this chapter to read some other longform prose again.

Kinda stopped keeping track here at the end oops :face_with_peeking_eye: But have been reading, and will continue to read 魔女の宅急便, 逝く夏と還る秋, and 骨ドラゴンのマナ娘.

finished the second story in 予知夢(よちむ) and, yeah, the leaps of logic are pretty egregious but i’ll let it slide this time cos it’s entirely in line with what i was expecting

words that stood out

スツール - stool. try saying that five times fast :sweat_smile:
(こけ)むす - to grow over with moss, to become aged
コンマ(びょう) - split second, instant
強請(ゆす)る - to extort, to solicit, to demand. i’ve seen this as 強請(ねだ)る before but never ゆする
