Man, that scene was longer than I remembered; it just went on and on and having rather specific vocabulary here and there such as 巧遅, 突風 or 残滓 didn’t help.
I wanted to finish it today, though, and I almost did but I still have to read the aftermath where the MC usually gives a summary of known events and things that happened off-screen.
Much better day today. I didn’t get quite as much done as I wanted due to being busy with life stuff, but very happy with it nonetheless. Tomorrow I’ll be busy half the day but I’ll get another hour or two done of reading at least in the evening. Might do week 2’s worth of 風立ちぬ.
February 13th!
Chapter 2 of ふたつのスピカ today - I enjoyed this chapter a lot more than the first one, which is a good sign.
February 14th!
3 chapters of からかい上手の 元 高木さん today, finishing off Volume 2.
February 15th!
2 chapters of シャドーハウス today. I was really tempted to read the next chapter to finish the volume, but also we have a guest arriving soon so I should probably be tidying up instead of doing extra reading
Continuing Case 5 of 逆転裁判、we are well out of my memory zone now because I’m now stuck on an investigation puzzle and have no idea how to proceed. Well, I’ll deal with it later…
Finished フードコート and enjoyed it. It’s a really nice feeling being able to follow casual-ish conversations and it’s the type of benign series that is pitched exactly at my comfort level - a challenge without being a pain in the ass, I guess.
I think I’ll start up ボッチ2 next as the spin-off club has launched and I’m in a very Bocchi mood… but since it’s a book club read, I’ll probably need to add something else for my ‘chill read’ slot as well afterwards.
Å long day and night on the plane to Japan!!! I read some Grisaia VN and a little Zenitendo. Plus lots of «real life» reading! Street signs and station names and menues and… Just being in Japan. 21 years since the last time I was here. It’s so good to be back!!!
Well, that was a nightmare of a week… Work and real life decided I needed a beating, apparently.
I did somehow manage to read one chapter of 名探偵コナン Volume 20 each day, though it appears I haven’t posted since I started that volume 9 days ago. Whoops. And at some point I got through last week’s pages in カードキャプターさくら Volume 2 for the offshoot book club, though I can’t remember which day it actually was that I did that…
I really hope this coming week is easier to get through… Though on the plus side, I did still manage to finish 名探偵コナン V20 even when I was exhausted, so I guess that’s something I can be proud of!
I ended up buying myself a cheap tablet yesterday, because after a few months of reading book club books on my laptop, I was getting fed up of the unsuitable screen ratio and Bookwalker’s PC app is just, not good.
I am genuinely wildly impressed by just how much smoother the experience is. I ended up reading 38 pages of Look Back just because of how much nicer it is to read without having to constantly zoom in, adjust where the page is, and avoid acidentally swiping to the next page which would reset the zoom
I can really see this allowing me to get more reading in for sure just because I’m now not being put off by a poor user experience.
Also I noticed Sign of Affection vol 1 is free for the next week so I might try and get through that now since I was planning on having a read for the bookclub
I feel ya!
My 兄貴 saw how I zoom in on our main screen (which is big already) and rotated the side screen for me (they are both on monitor arms). Sometimes I think it’s too huge (5 times as usual tankobon!). But still it’s is my favorite place to read rn!
