Honestly loved this book and I also ended up highlighting way too many quotes that I liked
Next one will probably be ใกใใฃใจไปใใไปไบใใใฆใใ, but I will decide tomorrow
Uh well the past few days I mostly just played some more ใใฟใฎใพใก ใใซใใฃใข, but somewhere in there I also read xxxHOLiCโข, and the last chapter and atogaki of ๅคใซใใงโข. Yesterday I read 13 pages of ใใฎๆฌใ็ใ่ ใฏ, leaving off on pg 20.

Card Captor Sakura volume 9 โ progress report
Yesterday: Continued up to page 158, finished chapter 37.
Today: Read up to page 187, finished chapter 38, and with that volume 9.
Began reading volume 10, read up to page 16.
Thanks to Toyaโs intervention Yue and Yukito are still alive and kicking. Never mind that this plot point took like 4 volumes to get resolvedโฆ
Back then and today I still donโt know what to make of the โyou resemble Yukito a lot/in everythingโ lines both Toya and Sakura say to Yue. Sure, theyโre the same being but as far as Iโm concerned Yukito is like a chill and friendly dog/cat whereas Yue comes off as grumpy catโs cousin.
Ah well, whatever. Letโs see if I can finish volume 10 during the weekend.
Word or expression of the day:

Iโve read chapter 10 today, and damnโฆ That was a long monologue. Interesting, but very exhausting to read. I really hope the next chapter is a little lighter. Only two more to go though! And letโs just ignore the fact that Iโm already falling behind with my ใใฎๆฌใ็ใ่ ใฏ readingโฆ (Not to mention Iโve completely forgotten about my Russian readingโฆ

I felt sick the whole day just read some pages of Tsugumomo vol.5 and played Bloody Roar 3 in Japanese. In Bloody Roar 3 the text scrolls super fast its impossible for me to read that fast.

Today I read Chapter 44 of Happiness. It was very tempting to read ahead to finish the volumeโฆ but I have house guests coming for the weekend so I did some cleaning insteadโฆ

Today I noticed that ๆถๆ and ๆถๆใ have the same kanji. Just like ่บ่บ and ่บ่บใ. Iโm sure there are more examples, canโt recall from the top of my head.
Spoilery story/character comment: After reading the chapter where Maomao joins the emperor go through an emperor-selection-by-choosing-the-correct-door maze, Iโm getting the sense that ไปปๆฐ might actually be the emperorโs younger hikikomori brother Emperorโs younger brother never participate in events due to being a shut-in and thatโs a very convenient excuse, isnโt it? I hope Iโm not misremembering anything about this โemperorโs younger brotherโ character, I literally canโt remember any scenes where he appeared other than being mentioned briefly for the sole reason of pointing out that he was not attending.
Yes! Those flavor words. They typically donโt have an entry in Jisho (or Takoboto, ie. JMdict), and google images often returns Chinese or irrelevant/obscure(?) results.
Example 1: ๅๅธฏใฎ้ท่ฃ
ๅๅธฏ โ google images: some kind of strap for fastening your guns/swords and for lifting horses? Also for climbing electric power line poles Epitome of โno sleeveโ outfit, mhm
้ท่ฃ โ actual Chinese word for long skirt!? (disclaimer: did not consult any Chinese dictionaries)
Example 2: ็ช็ด โ flowers!
That one is not Chinese While itโs not common in modern Japanese, itโs a thing. It follows the same pattern as ๅฃ็ด (but for the nails instead of the mouth; thatโs the way I remembered the reading too!). The word can also point to a flower, but the reading is different (thatโs ใคใพใใใชใ or ใคใพใใ instead)
But the skirt thing, though, yes. You get quickly used to it, since every series with a similar โancient Chinaโ vibe uses it.
Ah, so it turned out be a historical Japanese thing! I guess the flowers was a confounder, with the reading being different.
At least, I thought it was different because thatโs what my dictionary said, but looking at stuff about the flowers, the word is given the same reading

Not quite the whole chapter but most of it. My brain had to tap out. Itโs a lot harder to read when youโre not already familiar with the plot and characters. I canโt figure out what one guyโs name is a reference to and searching in Japanese only returned results for the character. Theyโre always some sort of reference though. Someoneโs gotta know.

I didnโt realize I had gotten ahead at some point in SรF, so I had intended to read this past weekโs and this coming weekโs chapters, but I ended up reading this coming weekโs and the next weekโs lol whoops
I also got a slight head start (technically; itโs still Friday in my time zone) on ๆฅตไธปๅคซ้ and read ch 91-92. Itโs always so hard to put this series down, but I wanted to go on my friend-date with Albert in ใใซใใฃใข, so I managed it.
And yeah I played a couple hours of ใใฟใฎใพใก ใใซใใฃใข. I got a quest where I need to place several large planters in the Eufaula Desert and plant poplar trees in them, but the only way to get one of the materials I need to make the planters is to trade the Church data disks for them, which I ainโt doing. But the quest ainโt timed so it ainโt disappearing, and now that I have the poplars in my possession, there are a bunch of indicators on the map where theyโre supposed to go which also ainโt gonna be disappearing, arg. I wanna make 'em go away, but I donโt wanna give the Church squat, especially not Old World tech to destroyโฆ Oh the dilemma.
โฆNow that I think of it, I also donโt know if this is a storyline quest or a side quest. Shoot.
Update: Actually, Iโm pretty sure building the drill machine for Mint is the story quest, making this a side quest, so Iโm good on that front. I still wanna get rid of those indicators on the map though and really donโt like the idea of having to give the Church tech to do itโฆ
