I finished Slam Dunk Volume 12 yesterday!!
For February I read 1 novel and 6 manga volumes!
With that my goal totals for the year are now:
-1/1 Games
-1/5 Novels
-13/52 Manga Novels
I’m really quite happy with that!! The only thing I want to improve on for March, is getting back to reading one Yellow Magazine+ article a week. I kinda fell off that for February 
But March is a new month!
March 1st
武州公秘話
Epilogue - this is longer than I thought so read about half of it. It doesn’t continue the story at all though, but is more reflecting on the story itself. Still, will read to the end.

February 27
In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth I reached the harbor and boarded the ship. A rather boring part I hope the sea voyage ends fast and I can finally sea Costa Del Sol.

I liked the first book, so I decided to read the second book and have a look at where the series is going.

Finished 国宝 
Although, it is only a half of the whole story, still I feel myself a hero. But I think I’ll read the 下 a bit later. Or maybe in parallel with easier stuff…
Anyway, I managed to clear all my book club debts. Now I only have unfinished series. And I really want to start a new one

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 73% |  ちいさな森のオオカミちゃん２ |
manga | 119 → 148 | 55min |
Nearing the end of オオカミちゃん２ and thus the end of the series. I’m actually more bummed about it than I thought I’d be. Feels like I’ve finally hit my stride reading this one and have grown fond of the characters. Ah, well, plenty more to read though!
Not setting a completion goal for myself this month. I think I really benefit most from reading every day, which I’m already doing, so no need to complicate things further. I also don’t want to discourage myself from playing 牧場物語, either, since that’s actually been a good source of reading. In any case, in February I ended up reading 660 pages and spent 38 hours reading. A slight increase from January and in fewer days, too!
Off to do some WK lessons. Gotta get past L14, haha. またねー

Reading: よつばと！③

Been insanely busy for over a week now. So way behind on WK reviews, up to 300, and haven’t done new lessons in a few days now. It’s a little stressful. But really, who cares! I’m reading an actual manga in Japanese! Tomorrow I’ll smash out some Wanikani reviews.
＊３月１日＊
The allergies really got me good this weekend. Very glad today’s Sunday; I don’t think I could handle another day of work like this. It was worse today even if the allergies themselves weren’t quite as bad, probably because I hadn’t fully recovered from yesterday. Sneezing and nose-blowing can really take a lot out of a guy. (I’m surprised I haven’t gotten a nosebleed yet, actually, or at least a proper one. A small bit of blood sometimes when I blow my nose, yeah, but nothing beyond that.)
・高校球児ザワさん⑪
omg, we finally learn why some of Kouji-san’s friends will call him ミヤコシ氏. (He has a group of three nerd friends; one of them used to play baseball, but even so, none of them talk about baseball together, and I don’t think the other two even care about baseball at all, though they all came to Koushien to support him.) They heard the one friend call him ミヤコ氏, didn’t realize it came from 都澤, and instead thought it was 宮越 and slapped a 氏 on there. Amazing. (氏 really was the wrong choice! Should we call him マニアック instead?)
They also misheard something he said to himself— “ケッショウ線でジュウダッサンシンを撮りに行く” —and now think he’s a トリテツ (写真を撮るのがメインの鉄道マニア) despite never having heard of such a line. “ケッショウ線” is obviously 決勝戦, “撮りに行く” 取りに行く, and “ジュウダッサンシン” … 十奪三振 (じゅうだつさんしん)? 十 + 奪三振 makes more sense than 十打 + 三振, I’m pretty sure? He wants to get ten strikeouts in the finals. Anyway, that’s when the ex-baseballer finally starts putting it together why the other two will use ミヤコ氏 (宮越, apparently) and ミヤコシ氏 interchangeably lmao. (They also think Kouji always skives off—even though he’s very serious and literally the ace and starting pitcher—and don’t react when “Miyakozawa-kun, uniform number 1” is introduced, so he’s just sitting there like, “…… ………… D-Don’t tell me, these two…” Ayup.)
Also. Normally when chapters have the same name, they get numbered. But the ones named ミヤコ氏 just get an increasing number of exclamation marks. It’s hilarious
I forgot to note yesterday because while I knew it was the last day of February, I wasn’t aware it was the last day of February, y’know? But I read (finished) 24 books last month, again only 46% being manga (and most of the rest being novels or short story collections in EN). Which brings me to 54 attained this quarter and 51 dealt with, so not ahead anymore but not too far behind, either… for now lol. My CDJ order finally made it to Cali this weekend and is predicted to arrive tomorrow.
(Well. Today, now. I’m posting late this time because I was wondering if I should play something on my Switch, and if so, what… and then I fell asleep. Hah. Was more tired than I thought, I guess.)

Epilogue - complete! Anddd that’s the whole thing finished now!
What to read next…
I have the dilema that I’m sure pretty much everyone here constantly faces: too many books to choose from.
I have two artbooks I want to read, one being the works of:
and the other one the works of:
I mean I’m going to read both, so it’s not that important which to read first - but I want to somehow read both at exactly the same time

A bit of reading here and there today, also played a bit of Pokémon Green. I absolutely did not remember that Ekans was a version exclusive of Red so there goes my planned third member of my Poison type mono run.
The reason I wanted Ekans was simply: Wrap.
Wrap was busted in Gen I because it completely prevented the opponent from acting while it was going on. If your Pokémon was faster, you could literally spam Wrap and slowly whittle the enemy’s HP down.
My glorious plan of using Venusaur’s Leech Seed, Stun Spore and then switch in Arbok to use Wrap, ruined… There should still be a couple of Pokémon that I can use that should learn it…
I want to make my team as annoying as possible lol

Tiny read. Busy preparing for tomorrow, I have long drive coming up. Hoping all goes well 
三月二日
This will be my book of the month. I started it 3 years ago, but I’m rereading it now. I loved the movie, so I wanted to see if it was just because of Kirin Kiki’s genius or if the book content was great too.
