*3月2〜3日*

I realized today that I forgot to update the date in one of my posts (the only reason I didn’t get off is that it’s one of the aggregate posts), but I can’t save my edit because “the requested URL or resource could not be found.” What?? It’s got an image, so I tried removing and reinserting it in case it meant that, but, nope. Ugh, this is gonna bother me

・高校球児ザワさん⑫
・とんがり帽子のアトリエ⑬

ザワさん

Ooh, Zawa-san’s finally got a girl falling for her! I kept expecting it to happen, even if it was only until the girl learned she wasn’t a guy, but it never did, until the beginning of her third year. She walks past a group of first-year girls, and one of them is immediately taken with her. One of her friends is like, “You know that’s a girl, right?” and she’s like, “A girl is fine, too!”

Of course, since this is the final volume, she never shows up again. It skims quickly through third year, and we learn Zawa-san gets into a college where she can play baseball. It’s only the HS Baseball Association (or whatever it’s actually called) that doesn’t allow girls to play. I’m glad.

Although in all 12 volumes of this, I never was able to distinguish between most of the characters. Mishima-sensei does not have same face syndrome, they all look different, I just could never remember who was who on the team—outside, of course, of Zawa-san and Kouji-san. (And outside of those two I couldn’t remember names, period.) I have no clue why. (I mean, the names, yeah; I’m terrible with them. But the faces? I’m generally pretty good at recognition!) It was good, though!

Δ帽子

Gods, I freaking hate Custas. Not only does he force Dagda to relive his death every single day because he “can’t let him die,” but now he’s done it to a bunch of random other people too so he can feel all high and mighty about “saving” them even knowing full well that he very much is not.

And when the magic runs out and he reapplies it, they’ll lose all the memories they formed in between, so they won’t even come to resent him for essentially trapping them in a day-long time loop where they die painfully at the end. They’ll just see him as a savior.

Some savior he is.

And why are they trying to pass off the 時戻し magic as healing magic? So you turn back a person’s time to when their wounds were lighter and treat those—when the magic wears off, they’re suddenly going to get worse again. If the person was dead when it was drawn, they’re just gonna die again. A thing or person is returned to the state they were in when the magic was drawn once it wears off. Has Shirahama already forgotten the way she just established it as working like a dozen chapters ago? (Or, what, if you use it on a broken teacup and then slather it in glue, it won’t re-break when its borrowed time runs out??) I mostly like this series, but ughhhh. I’ll be glad when the 銀夜祭 arc is over.

Coin flip decided that I’d be going with… 川瀬 巴水 (Hasui Kawase)

I forgot how much more difficult it is to read physical Japanese - I can’t just copy-paste the words I don’t understand/have forgotten. Thanks to WK though I could work out the readings of the kanji so I could quickly look them up in a dictionary. :crabigator:

I read most of the first page, which was just an introduction (I also spent more time flicking through looking at all the artwork than reading).

I played Needy Streamer Overdose it wasn’t that hard you can easily get used to reading all these things. It’s just that the game is shit I managed to make it to day 13 but only saw one bad ending. Later I clicked on the wrong thing and my save was deleted. Shit game design, it would be better if you could manually save.

Don’t know what dictionary you’re using, but I use the Takoboto app recommended by @Malinkal - the radical search is very easy to use.

Finished volume 5 of 税金で買った本 today!!


Out of my two yankee-boy-who-is-actually-a-softie-does-things manga, I think I like this one better :head_shaking_vertically: I was thinking if I should drop this series or not (still have two more vol I bought anyway) but for right now I’m enjoying and want to continue!!


Also I’m sorry for everyone that has been sick recently!!! :sneezing_face: But I have to say I’m also very impressed when everyone keeps reading despite not feeling well!! You’re all doing great!!

終わり

Series completion for オオカミちゃん! All in all, the series wasn’t exactly peak fiction, but was very cute, covered a lot of basic slice of life events across different seasons, and feels like the best language levels for beginners I’ve come across so far. Glad to have read it!

An excellent disguise...

Not quite sure what I want to delve into next. I do want to pick ハピネス back up at some point, but I have a few more entry level yuri series I’d like to start. I do want to spend a little more time with 牧場物語 also, which I’ve been putting off playing to finish オオカミちゃん. It’ll probably just come down to what I’m in the mood for tomorrow, ha.

Hope you feel better soon!!

I’m also quite fond of this dictionary! The Android app gives you results as you type which is lovely.

Up to page 6 - Finished the rest of the introduction and started on the first chapter that is all about where Kawase grew up.


Thanks for the suggestion! I usually use jisho/renshuu for quick lookups, but I’ll remember about this one too!

I used to get that error all the time. I found refreshing the page worked, but I defo recommend copying everything you want to post first because it might revert your changes.

I got a collection of detective games for Switch and I started the first one. It’s definitely harder than Famikom Detective club but still easy for me.

Also I played more Final Fantasy VII Rebirth I love the Costa del Sol part it felt like going on a vacation. I would have prefered it if it was longer.
