๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š Read every day challenge - Spring 2023 ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒผ

Apr 1
Awesome we have some new people joining this challenge. Welcome and have fun.

I also considered writing my posts in japanese but I would probably make lots of dumb mistakes and we have people here, who wouldnโ€™t understand my posts and may feel left out.

The first day was disappointing I only read a little bit of ใƒœใƒƒใ‚ณใกใ‚ƒใ‚“. Some of the stories are pretty boring I hope I will be done with this book soon.

Played a little bit of Ciel no Surge DX the Nintendo Switch port of what I think was a phone game initially. Like you would expect from a phone game there are lots of situations, where you need to wait some real life hours or days.

The game is about ใ‚คใ‚ชใƒณ a girl who lost her memories and you need to help her get them back. Some really terrible things happened in her past. Basically itโ€™s a simulator ใ‚คใ‚ชใƒณ has her own day cycle she sleeps, prepares foods, eats etc. Depending when you turn the game on you may see ใ‚คใ‚ชใƒณ lying in bed sleeping. Finishing this game will probably takes months. You can ask her to collect materials which you can then use to ask her to create new things like dishes, cooking utensils outfits etc. It may take real life days for her to create things you ask her to.

To progress the story you must enter her dream world and restore things there, which will unlock her memories. But again this takes some real life time.

Spent more time on listening and WK lessons today. I read this news piece [link] from Easy Japanese. It was a little too hard for me, so I lost motivation to read manga today. I think Iโ€™m going to stick with manga for a few days, and slowly ease into reading news.

Also finished a few sentences from Kanji Study. I always enjoy this mini sesh, so nothing much to say here.

Small progress. Reading is the only form of Japanese study Iโ€™m doing at the moment. Iโ€™ve been learning more spoken Indonesian instead over the past few days lol

I ended up falling off pretty hard when it came to posting for the last challenge so I am going to try my best to post more consistently this time aroundโ€ฆ hopefullyโ€ฆ

Currently Reading:

Monkeys!ยก - Unfortunately I havenโ€™t been making any progress at all in this visual novel mostly because way more context-based reading compared to the novels Iโ€™ve read, rapid-fire jokes, and the format in general sorta breaking my reading flow with having to click for the next line have sapped my motivationโ€ฆ

ใ€†ๅˆ‡ๅ‰ใซใฏ็™พๅˆใŒๆ—ใ‚‹ (Shimekiri Mae ni wa Yuri ga Hakadoru) - Started another fairly easy and pleasant yuri novel to read at work.

Plan to Read

Games:

ๆ‰‰ใฎไผ่ชฌ ๏ฝž้ขจใฎใคใฐใ•๏ฝž (Tobira no Densetsu: Kaze no Tsubasa) - The confluence of wanting to try a game for a change and partially getting into Japanese because I want to try untranslated indie masterpieces have compelled me to think about giving this game for a spin soon. The vocab doesnโ€™t seem too hard but Iโ€™ve been told itโ€™s Persona 5 levels of long so Iโ€™m a bit hesitant to dive into it right nowโ€ฆ

Visual Novels:

ใƒ˜ใƒณใ‚ฟใ‚คใƒปใƒ—ใƒชใ‚บใƒณ (Hentai Prison) - The name does not inspire much confidence but I have been told in good confidence by a friend that it is one of the best visual novel releases in recent history. Also seems to be fairly difficult with lots of language puns and the like but Iโ€™ll try to tackle it after Monkeys!ยก

ไฟกๅคฉ็ฟ่ˆชๆตท้Œฒ (Albatross Koukairoku) - This one is nothing but a pipe dream for now because of itโ€™s insane prose difficulty but I do really, really want to give it a tryโ€ฆ

Light Novels

ๅฃฐๅ„ชใƒฉใ‚ธใ‚ชใฎใ‚ฆใƒฉใ‚ชใƒขใƒ† (Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote) - just another pleasant series for me to pass the time at work when Iโ€™m done with my current ones.

Day 1 and 2 Progress:

ใŠ้šฃใฎๅคฉไฝฟๆง˜ 5.5 SSๅ†Š - 66.44% โ†’ 79.45%

ใ€†ๅˆ‡ๅ‰ใซใฏ็™พๅˆใŒๆ—ใ‚‹ - 0.39% โ†’ 16.85%

Word of the Day: - ๅฅˆ่ฝใชใ‚‰ใ - Hell; the worst possible circumstances. Since ๅฅˆ just has the Nara connotation now the idea of falling into Hell being going to Nara is quite funny. Maybe if youโ€™re scared of deerโ€ฆ

  • ใ†ใ‚‰ใ‚‰่ฟท่ทฏๅธ– Vol.4 (47-57%)

  • ใใพ ใ‚ฏใƒž ็†Š ใƒ™ใ‚ขใƒผ Vol.1 Ch.1

I bought for 100 yen due to a campaign plus Regular status.

Pretty easy to go through, might not even due to vocabularies, but chapter length (total 26). Only 1 real new vocab (ใ‚ซใƒณใ‚นใƒˆ). Maybe another problem (?) is the number of volumes.

  • DoBJG: Characteristics of JP Grammar - 1-3

Now, how should I continue next? What concern me most right now are punctuation marks.

  • ๆฎ‹ๆœˆ่จ˜ : ๆœˆๆ™ฏ็Ÿณ Ch.9 (end story)

Yeah, vocabularies mostly donโ€™t matter (i.e. some rare exceptions, but I might look up more than I need). Usually, even built-in Google Translate is sufficient. Much different reading style from manga, where I can practically stop and resume from anywhere.

  • ใ†ใŸใ‚ใ‚Œใ‚‹ใ‚‚ใฎ : ไบŒไบบใฎ็™ฝ็š‡
Words of the day
  • ใ“ใ‚“ใ“ใ‚“ = dead asleep. Well, ๆ˜ใ€…(ใ“ใ‚“ใ“ใ‚“), from ๆ˜็ก(ใ“ใ‚“ใ™ใ„).
  • ในใ‚ใ‚Š(.) = licking; lapping. Feel somewhat like ใบใ‚ใ‚Š.
  • ใ‚ตใƒƒใ‚ท(.) = window frame
  • ใ‚ซใƒณใ‚นใƒˆ(.) = โ€œcounter stopโ€; hitting the max value
  • ้š›(ใใ‚)ใ‚„ใ‹ = conspicuous. JMdict fails, but ๏ฝžใ‚„ใ‹ = seeming very. So, ้š›็ซ‹(ใใ‚ใ )ใค + ๏ฝžใ‚„ใ‹.
  • ้€ธ(ใฏใ‚„)ใ‚‹ = to be rash; to be impatient. I saw this one twice today, both with Furigana.
  • ้€™(ใฏ)ใ„ใคใใฐใ‚‹ = to go down on hands and knees (to authority) = ้€™(ใฏ)ใ„่นฒ(ใคใใฐ)ใ‚‹
  • ๅทฃ้ฃŸ(ใ™ใ)ใ† = to hang out in a nest
  • ็›ฎ่ซ–(ใ‚‚ใใ‚)ใ‚€ = to plot. Make sense if thinking of ็›ฎ(ใ‚‚ใ) + ่ซ–(ใ‚ใ‚“) + ใ‚€. A related word is ็›ฎ่ซ–่ฆ‹(ใ‚‚ใใ‚ใฟ).
  • ่‚ฒ(ใฏใใ)ใ‚€ = to foster; to promote
  • ๅ‡บ็›ด(ใงใชใŠ)ใ™ = to visit again / to make a fresh start
  • ไปŠๅบฆ(ใ“ใ‚“ใฉ) = next time / recent; this time. ไปŠๅ›ž(ใ“ใ‚“ใ‹ใ„) only has that second meaning = this time.
  • ็ฉบ(ใ‚)ใๅทฃ(ใ™) = empty nest; empty house / burglary
  • ็„กๆ–ญ(ใ‚€ใ ใ‚“) = lack of permission
  • ๆ›™ๅ…‰(ใ—ใ‚‡ใ“ใ†) = dawn; prospects. Has Furigana. First Kanji is ๆ›™(ใ‚ใ‘ใผใฎ).
  • ๅˆค็„ถ(ใฏใ‚“ใœใ‚“) = clear; definite. Well, ๅˆค็„ถ(ใฏใ‚“ใœใ‚“)ใจใ—ใชใ„ = uncertain; unclear.
  • ใฉใ™้ป’(ใใ‚)ใ„ = murky; dusky dark
  • ่Œซๆผ (ใผใ†ใฐใ) = vast / vague. Has Furigana.
  • ็ดขๆผ (ใ•ใใฐใ) = desolate; lonely and dejected. Has Furigana. First Kanji is well, from ๆŽข็ดข(ใŸใ‚“ใ•ใ) or ๆคœ็ดข(ใ‘ใ‚“ใ•ใ).
  • ๆฎ‹ๆป“(ใ–ใ‚“ใ—) = remnant; dregs. Has Furigana.
  • ้™่‡จ(ใ“ใ†ใ‚Šใ‚“) = descending to Earth; Advent. Second Kanji is probably like in ๅ›่‡จ(ใใ‚“ใ‚Šใ‚“).
  • ็ทจ(ใ‚)ใฟไธŠ(ใ‚)ใ’ใƒ–ใƒผใƒ„ = lace-up boots. Probably like ็ทจ(ใ‚)ใฟไธŠ(ใ‚)ใ’้ด(ใใค).
  • ็”Ÿ็ฒ‹(ใใฃใ™ใ„) = pure; native-born
  • ็ฉบๆ‰‹ๅฝข(ใ‹ใ‚‰ใฆใŒใŸ) = an empty promise. The first two Kanji is indeed Karate :martial_arts_uniform::rightwards_hand: (็ฉบๆ‰‹(ใ‹ใ‚‰ใฆ)).
  • ๅฅฎๆˆฆ(ใตใ‚“ใ›ใ‚“) = hard (hot) fighting. Probably not putting bitterness first like ่‹ฆๆˆฆ(ใใ›ใ‚“).
  • ่ถณ(ใ‚ใ—)ใŒ็ธบ(ใ‚‚ใค)ใ‚‰ใ›ใ‚‹ = to trip over oneโ€™s feet. Itโ€™s actually ่ถณ(ใ‚ใ—)ใŒใ‚‚ใคใ‚Œใ‚‹ in JMdict.
  • ๅฎŒ่†š(ใ‹ใ‚“ใท)ใชใใพใงใซ = thoroughly; until there is there no (unharmed) skin area left

read quite a bit today! managed 3 chapters of jjk vol 2 (60 pages, ish), plus the (almost) last section of that granblue fantasy event story (lots of people yelling about musclesโ€ฆ). fun time all round! two books i ordered came today too, ๆŽขๅตใ‚ฌใƒชใƒฌใ‚ช and ใ™ใใพใฎใŠใจใ‚‚ใ ใกใŸใก, so i had a glance over the first few pages of those and found them easier than i was expecting! looking forward to them, tho when iโ€™ll actually get round to them i have no idea.

:white_flower: A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar (p. 16 โ†’ p. 27)
I read the first three topics (of five) of this weeks reading (Part of Characteristics of Japanese Grammar) covering Word Order, Topics and Ellipses.
I was a little bit surprised that omitting particles like ใฏ, ใŒ or ใ‚’ can be considered grammatical correct. I always thought it is rather colloquial and the speaker just doesnโ€™t care for correct grammar (or is lazy :sweat_smile:).

:mag: ๅๆŽขๅตใ‚ณใƒŠใƒณ vol. 1 (p. 76 โ†’ p. 85)
I so love this Manga! But it is very text-heavy, which makes it harder to read than other Manga for me. But today I didnโ€™t have to look up as many vocabularies as in the parts before :+1:

As for the story so far: Sudden subtle display of affection? :eyes: Confusion ensues for all characters present. Something has definitely changed mainly for the male main character since the end of the last volume. Not behind the scenes, they just havenโ€™t talked about it properly. I want to see that talk. Maomao is in strong denial, trying to convince herself the soft thing she accidentally touched was a (ใใ“ใใ“) frog that had snuck inside the pants when they fell over and not the real thingie (which was not even supposed to be there because thatโ€™s the rule for non-imperial men to be allowed into the imperial palace.

The story has gotten super interesting in the last few chapters!

:bookmark: ๅ›ใฎๅใฏใ€Žใพใ‚“ใŒใ€ (Ch. 2 completed - 58 pages)

i have a pretty decent homework load tonight, so i stuck with reading just one more chapter of ๅ›ใฎๅใฏ since itโ€™s quite an easy read. this manga is very corporate-drawn instead of what is usually art lovingly crafted by one singular mangaka, so sometimes they do the thing where they edit a real photo of tokyo to look like itโ€™s drawn and it makes me laugh every time

spoilers

i also noticed this particular clue for the first time! it never even registered in my mind when i watched the movie, which is probably the point. especially with one being japanese and the other being english, Iโ€™m thinking the day of the week is definitely meant to be a little easter egg for second-round viewing

:white_flower:A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammarใƒปpg35
Finished this weekโ€™s reading and added some notes from both weeksโ€™ community posts into the dictionary for easy reference. Going to review this throughout the week to make sure I understand the material. The romaji really irritates me, but I donโ€™t know if Iโ€™ll find whiting all of it out even more irritating so Iโ€™ll just leave it be. Someone said the Intermediate volume has furigana and no romaji, that makes me happy.

:orange_square: NANA 1 (43% โ†’ 49%)

A quick read today. Finished โ€œthe encounter.โ€ On the one hand, of course I wanted her to fully confront Asano (the predatorโ€™s name; donโ€™t think I ever mentioned it). On the other hand, this is our introduction to Nana as a character; expecting that much character growth is probably unrealistic. Sheโ€™s still quite young, and she hasnโ€™t had a moment in her life to reassess her relationship with him on that level. Maybe Iโ€™m just making excuses, but I guess thatโ€™s my take for now.

ใƒป๏ผ”ๆœˆ๏ผ“ๆ—ฅใƒป

LOL so much for being delayed, my CDJapan order got here this morning. Also! ไธ‰ๆ‘็ตฑใฎไธไฟก้ ผ, which previously was only available online, is included in the bunkobon version of ็ฉบใธใฎๅŠฉ่ตฐ! My buying that when I already have the tankoubon wasnโ€™t for nothing, after all (also the cover is pretty)

Not sure what to do about that and the tankoubon of the main series re: Bookmeter, though. I guess leave them off.

ใ‚ตใƒžใƒผใ‚ตใ‚คใƒ€ใƒผ was actually published by a different publisher than 2.43 (which is published by ้›†่‹ฑ็คพ) and the same as ้€ใ้€šใฃใŸ้ขจใŒๅนใ„ใฆ, ๆ–‡่—ๆ˜ฅ็ง‹, which is interesting. Both JP novels I read part of today were published by the same company, and I think these might be the only two I have from ๆ–‡ๆ˜ฅ, at that!

  • 17 pages of ้€ใ้€šใฃใŸ้ขจใŒๅนใ„ใฆ, leaving off on pg 62. Honestly I should probably spend a little more time looking stuff up and trying to figure things out with this one, but thatโ€™s boring and a pain and a chore, so I donโ€™t.
  • 14 pages of ใ‚ตใƒžใƒผใ‚ตใ‚คใƒ€ใƒผ, leaving off on pg 22. It got up to 90ยฐF (32ยฐC) today and itโ€™s supposed to be in/near the 80s (like 24ยฐC+) most of this week, so even if itโ€™s spring, since this is Texas itโ€™s still nearly the perfect weather to be reading this. (Although one could argue that the perfect time to read stories where itโ€™s sweltering hot is when itโ€™s freezing cold out, and vice versaโ€ฆ) Anyway, Kabei-senseiโ€™s trend of naming places after bugs did not start with 2.43: the city where this takes place is ๆ—ฅๆšฎๅธ‚ Higura-shi, after ใƒ’ใ‚ฐใƒฉใ‚ท, the evening cicada. I think this might also take place in Fukui; the dialect seems to match, at any rate.
Some vocab of note:

็ฑ (ใจใ†) [n.] rattan; wicker. This shows up in ใใฟใฎใพใก ใƒใƒซใƒ†ใ‚ฃใ‚ข too, but I thought it was ่—ค and just thought, โ€œhuh, I guess that means โ€˜wickerโ€™ tooโ€ (since the basket isnโ€™t decorated with wisteria or anything). I didnโ€™t notice the difference between the two kanji until today.
็ตฝ (ใ‚) [n.] silk gauze (esp. used for light garments for high summer)
ๅบฆ่‚ใ‚’ๆŠœใ‹ใ‚Œใ‚‹ (ใฉใŽใ‚‚ใ‚’ใฌใ‹ใ‚Œใ‚‹) [expression, ไธ€] to be astonished; to be astounded; to be stupefied; to be flabbergasted; to be taken aback
็‹ผ็‹ฝ (ใ‚ใ†ใฐใ„) [n., ใ™ใ‚‹-verb] confusion; dismay; consternation; panic. Somehow I remembered the reading for this, and I donโ€™t come across it much! Completely forgot the meaning though lmao
ๅ›บๅ”พใ‚’ๅžใ‚€ (ใ‹ใŸใšใ‚’ใฎใ‚€) [expression, ใƒžไบ”] to hold oneโ€™s breath (in fear, anxiety, etc). ๅ›บๅ”พ is โ€œsaliva held in oneโ€™s mouth during times of tension.โ€ I presume the ใฎใ‚€ works somewhat similarly to in ๆฏใ‚’ใฎใ‚€.
ๆฐ—ใŒๅฐใ•ใ„ (ใใŒใกใ„ใ•ใ„) [expression, ใ„-adj.] timid; faint-hearted; wimpy
้ง„ใ€…ใฃๅญ (ใ ใ ใฃใ“) [n.] unmanageable child; spoiled brat
็™ฝ็พฝใฎ็ŸขใŒ็ซ‹ใค (ใ—ใ‚‰ใฏใฎใ‚„ใŒใŸใค) [expression, ใ‚ฟไบ”] to be selected (from among many people)
่‡ช่…น (ใ˜ใฐใ‚‰) [n.] paying oneโ€™s own way
็™ฝใ‘ใ‚‹ (ใ—ใ‚‰ใ‘ใ‚‹) [่‡ชไธ€] to be dampened (of mood, interest, etc.); to be spoiled (e.g. of the atmosphere); to become subdued; to turn sour; to become unamused; to become bored; to become apathetic

็ฅžๅŽปใชใ‚ใชใ‚ๆ—ฅๅธธ, 12-14%

Too tired to update last night, I was half asleep as I was finishing my reading. Things came up that reduced my reading time, so not as much progress as I had liked, but some.

In ็ฅžๅŽปใชใ‚ใชใ‚ๆ—ฅๅธธ, today (well, yesterday) I learned about those blades that are tied to the sides of the legs and shoes so that foresters can climb trees [1]. The Japanese word is ๆ˜‡ๆŸฑๅ™จ. I bought two monolingual dictionaries in the Monokakido sale yesterday, but of course none of them had it. Nor did the IME know how to type it. I guess it is kind of a specialized word that I wonโ€™t be coming across very often, but I did find it interesting. :sweat_smile:
