Diving back into a series I had on pause, 普通の軽音部. Great little series but thankfully it starts with a brief recap because I last read it months ago and I’ve forgotten what was going on
Decided today I’m going to work my way through all of Utaco’s published podcast transcripts after listening to them since I don’t have much left to read on Satori Reader.
Been travelling so i’ve not posted in a while! Still managed to read every day, but I’ve fallen quite far behind in some book clubs so I’m going to need to catch up over the next week or two.
August 25th!
Finally home from my trip - so time to start catching up on bookclubs!
Today I read a chapter of 約束のネバーランド 5 and a chapter of とんがり帽子のアトリエ 12.
August 26th!
Read the final chapter of カードキャプターさくら 5.
The last story is a historical set I think in 1933/34? which I guess explains middle school having apparently 5 grade levels?
A kid’s father decides to relocate from Shizuoka to Fengtian in Manchuria just before he starts his fourth year of middle school, and since transfer students are disallowed from participating in official matches for a full year, he won’t get a chance to go to Koushien and see his old friends/teammates until fifth year. And the fourth-year pitcher at his new school pretends he’s too stupid to learn how to pitch properly.
So that’s two stories I didn’t like, though I liked the other four.
I have one of this guy’s novels, 雲は沸き、光あふれて (bought before buying this collection; I bought this for Asano Atsuko and only realized afterward I already had something from another of the authors), and I hope it’s better than this story… I’m pretty sure it’s not a historical, at any rate.
Just a few days left of the challenge! If you’d like to continue reading through September though, you’re welcome to do so and continue to use the thread. I’ll post the fall thread (time flies!) about mid-September
Pottering onwards with ふつうの軽音部. It’s an odd book in that it feels very wordy and it’s a bit hard to start, but once I do start it’s a bit hard to stop. That said, it’s another busy day for me today, so will see if I read any more of it or not…
Finished the first chapter in the next volume of Happiness. Also started the Final Fantasy 1 pixel remaster to play along with the club. I’m not sure how to mark progress since it doesn’t have chapters, so I’ll just update the table when I finish the week by week goals for the FF1 club
