I wanna finish Fire Punch before going back to Steins;Gate. Itโs just really fun. If yโall hadnโt noticed I am not good at committing to things, but I am good at finding new things to do in Japanese every day so I canโt complain too much. xD

Saezuru screaming
Ahhhhhh Yashiro admitting that all the other times he has sex are to try to rewrite what happened to him on his own terms but then Domeki showed him what sex could be! Is this progress?!?
Also, I liked the first arc of Saezuru but I havenโt enjoyed the plot of this arc so much when I was reading in English, but now that Iโm reading in japanese, I barely understand the underlying plot. Rip
KITEMORAIMASU :zoom eyes: like you have to ask me if you want me?!? Or ||I am picking you up for out meeting next chapter?|| or BOTH?
WOAH FIRST PAGE NUMBER IN THE WHOLE DAMN VOLUME! 136 (I read through 135). Thatโs chapter 48. This volume seems to be chapters 44-50. Iโll double check the page count on amazon to get an estimate of chapter length and guestimate for previous days based on that.
Letโs enjoy the seasons gave me a bunch of info on wasabi. I hate wasabi. But if you like wasabi, now is a good time for fresh wasabi.

- ใใใใใใใฎ
Words of the day
- ในใณใผใณ = scone, a baked snack
- ใใใใ = lazybones; idler
- ใใใใ = to bring about = ้ฝใ
- ใชใใใพใพ = at someoneโs mercy
- ใปใใ็ฌใ = to gloat over oneโs thought
- ใใใๅใ = fighting each other = ้ฌฉใๅใ. The base verb is ใใใ. (And the Kanji is barely used elsewhere, just put in for the sake of monolingual Yomichan.)
- ๆดใ = to grow numb with cold (e.g. in winter). Has Furigana.
- ไนใใ = scarce. Has Furigana.
- ๅทจไธ = millions (of fortune); a lot of money. Japanese people say โten thousands of fortuneโ. Itโs actually ๅทจไธใฎๅฏ in context (also in IME).
- ็กไธ = extreme; greatest (e.g. joy). Although the same sound, it is very different from ็กๆ and ็กๅธธ.
- ็กไธใซ = completely (refusing)
- ็ๆฏ = serious; sincere. Something that ็ดณๅฃซ (= gentleman) would do?
- ๆน่ฏ = improvement; betterment
- ่ซใ = verbal quarrel. Has Furigana.
- ็ฃ = bruise. Has Furigana. Looks like, holding on to ๅฟ, so bearing a few bruises. Then, something to be laughed at (ๅฒ็ฌใ).
- ๅคๆฐ = outside air
- ็ซฏ้ = a small sum of money. Has Furigana. ใฏใใ appears to be yet another reading of the Kanji (็ซฏ๏ฝ). Also, ็ซฏใ
- ็จฎ่ = seeds and seedlings = ็จฎใจ่
- ๅๆพ = (Japanese) larch, a kind of tree. Furigana here says ใฉใผใ, but I didnโt know of the tree.
- ๆจ = (Japanese) fir, a kind of tree. Furigana says ใใกใผใซ (fir) the first time, and ใใฟ the second time.
- ๅธธ็ฃๆจ = evergreen tree (no leaf changing color). No Furigana. I think of ใใญใฏใทใใฃใผ.
- ่ ๅ = brute strength. ใฏใณใชใญใผ is something different.
- ไธๅ = a vice
- ้ฉไปป = qualified (for the job)
- ๅกๆบ = wisdom. Has Furigana. Can also be written ่ฑ็ฅ. The first Kanji can be replaced by ่ฑ in โwisdomโ meaning (and the other meaning is โconcerning emperorโ). For the second Kanji (replaceable by ็ฅ), perhaps I think of ๆบๆ ง first.
- ็ฅ่ฆ = knowledge = ็ฅ่ญ
- ้กๆซ = the whole story = ้กๆซ
- ๆจฉ่ฌ่กๆฐ = trickery
- ๅฃ้่ฆใ = to catch a glimpse of. Has Furigana, except for the last Kanji. The first Kanji is ๅฃ (= fence).
- ็ฅใ็ฑใใชใ = no way of knowing. ็ฑ has Furigana. I have seen this one beforeโฆ
- ๅบใใซใใ = to use as an excuse
- ๅธฐๅฝใฎ้ใซๅฐฑใ = to leave for home
Names
- ใทใผใใซใ = Philipp Franz Balthasar von Siebold was a German physician, botanist and traveler. He achieved prominence by his studies of Japanese flora and fauna and the introduction of Western medicine in Japan. He was the father of the first female Japanese doctor educated in Western medicine, ๆฅ ๆฌ ใคใ.
- ใชใใฃใผใใปใฆใผในใใณ = Richard Eusden was a consul by proxy in Hakodate and very small person. People called him ่ฑใณใณใทใญ, which means โpea consulโ. He named his house in the UK โHokkaido Houseโ after going back home finishing his term.

Yesterday I started ๆฐดใใพใใงๆฏใใใ (why is there no muddy puddle emoji?). Like ใใใใใใฏใ, it looks like it will be a fast and relatively easy read.
Then I also made some progress in ใฆใผใใญใใซใฎใใกใๅด. Each new chapter introduces a new character, and reading always feels harder at the start, before you get to know them. This time there were mentions of politics and war too, never my favourite. But soon the connection to the overall story became evident, and I only reluctantly put it down.
Looking forward to it!
Please do! The more the merrier.

Orange
Read nothing yesterday. It is nice to sometimes take a day off and not worry about it.
Today I finished the last chapter of volume 7 of Orange, a crossover chapter with Dreaming Sun which was a fun goof. And that is about all there is to say about it.
Tomorrow Iโll either pick up Loopers, or start reading ahead on B$. Will have to decide which I prefer.

A very tiny read today: only read the first paragraph of chapter 18 of 1Q84 Book 1 ๅพ็ทจ. So darn tired.

I see Natively is finally rolling out their video tracking! I was really looking for a good way to separate my english subs watched shows from my jp subs watched shows, since unfortunately stuff like MAL and anilist donโt let you track that (and why would they? theyโre normal media database not a learning resource, so it makes sense). But maybe I get back into watching more stuff again now that I have a convenient way to track it without making a whole separate MAL account. I really have kinda been laser focused on improving my reading for a while now, but could probably stand to gain from doing some more dedicated listening practice

March 6th!
Today I read chapter 6 and 7 of Komi Canโt Communicate.
The first five chapters didnโt quite catch my interest, but chapter 6 has got me hooked!
Despite promising myself that I wouldnโt join any more offshoot clubs for a while, I suspect Iโm going to be joining if this one gets an offshoot.
Is there some sort of support group for people who are addicted to bookclubsโฆ or would that inevitably end up turning into a bookclub tooโฆ
If there is, point me in that direction, please.
I read about half the ใใฎๆฌใ็ใ่ ใฏ assignment tonight. I donโt expect Iโll finish it this evening, but Iโve been letting myself breath a bit and not forcing entirely weekly assignments into one read now that ๅ่ฝใก is over and Iโm not behind on assignments.
I think you were reading ใใชใใค? The drama ใใชใใค S1 | L24 I watched and thought was very accessible. If you an find a copy (or a place streaming it) Iโd recommend it assuming that was you reading it!
Compulsive Readerโs Club is always accepting members.

March 6 Home Post
Fell asleep before posting yesterday oops just played some more Steins;Gate, nothing too notable really.
If yโall hadnโt noticed I am not good at committing to things, but I am good at finding new things to do in Japanese every day so I canโt complain too much. xD
Thatโs such a big mood, Iโve honestly lost track of how many things Iโm technically in the middle of at this point
