I read chapter 12 of 海辺のカフカ today! I wasn’t sure how well it would go at first; I have a general awareness of keigo and humble speech and such and it’s usually fine, like ナカタ levels are no problem, but this was a more extreme case than I’ve really seen before 
Once I got into it it was alright, but it was a bit intimidating 
At this rate, 海辺のカフカ will be the first novel I actually finish in Japanese which is kind of ridiculous actually lmao, that’s what I get for playing VNs all the time 
Aside from that, I read a few side stories in バディミッションBOND, most of which involved チェズレイ so they were inherently wild lmao. Doing that so soon after watching ハイキュー！！ eps with Oikawa in them was interesting; very different situations but yeah, it was a good time as always! I still have a number of side stories to read before going back to the main plot so it’s kinda chill, though the side stories can certainly have their own brand of drama 
Oooh that’s one I’ve been looking at for sure, my friend keeps telling me I’ll like it (talking about the anime that I can’t find anywhere but whatever) and she’s probably right lmao; I hope it goes smoother once you get into it!
Also best of luck to all the JLPT people!! 
(and everyone who’s been feeling under the weather for one reason or another, I hope you feel better soon
