Thinking of switching to conversation in lessons… though I already booked next month’s worth as our current format (which I think is actually more expensive than the conversation format anyway), so idk… Anyway I realized that I enjoy trying to converse, and while it’s somewhat helpful having a teacher for stuff in 薬屋のひとりごと, it’s still mostly the sort of thing I can do on my own.
Finished ベルサイユのばら S1 | L36 and ベルサイユのばら 1 | L32 which are two of the hardest things I’ve gone through. The manga felt not that hard, but that’s a mix of “I just finished the anime” and “it’s the beginning of the story”. I still had to look up a lot though, and I felt like I was reading at a snail’s pace, relative to things I usually read. In any case, it’s definitely not gonna be a manga I can just binge read. Now that I’ve finished the anime, I’d like to focus on reading a bit more. Decided against keeping the jpdb deck going while I read the manga.
So my current jpdb deck is for マリア様がみてる 34 リトルホラーズ | L29 , and I’m gonna plan to tackle that & 小さき花々 花物語 | L39 for novels, and then for manga: 美少女戦士セーラームーン 6 | L24 and ベルサイユのばら 2 | L32 . Curious to see how much easier Sailor Moon does/doesn’t feel compared to Versailles - since I also feel like I read that pretty slowly (tho it’s about 400 pgs per volume). At some point, I do need to read the rest of last months’ Yurihime, since this month’s is out next week. Edit: yeah sailor moon definitely is waaaaaay easier, even when I’m tired
I’m crazy close to my April Listening Challenge goal - 31.9/40 rn. That’s way more than I was expecting tbh
