So the only reason I can keep posting is because it's summer.
And for some reason I'm oddly not being lazy.
Usually I try to blog and just give up. (Note, many first entries and then I just disappeared o: but... I came back!)
And oddly enough, I thought that, oh summer time, I'm too boring to be able to blog daily. I mean, I don't have anything happening, right, right?
Soo, while I prefer novels and short stories and things with lots of words, I also enjoy a manga here and there. And frankly, it's easier to read when it comes to Japanese because a) I love you furigana-san! and b) pictures if I don't understand words (and am too lazy to look them up... which is 99.9% of the time! Usually I only look up stuff if I can use rikai-chan - ah bad habits). Anyways, so of aalll the bajillion mangas out there, my favorite is SAYAONARA ZETSUBOU SENSEI. No, the title isn't really in all caps - of course not, it's in Japanese. But, I just had to emphasis it. Japanese name: さよなら絶望先生. I actually started out on the animu, because I saw an art piece of dA about it and it talked about the animu. So I watched first season and found out, there werez a manga! My luck of course, the manga was... in Japanese, and only a few chapters were scanlated. So I held off on it for a while, because my Japanese was like... かっ漢字?!@ I couldn't read kanji except for.. numbers. Of course, I still have quite a few kanji I look at blankly. Anyways, then I went to Japan, and bought all the volumes, because, even if I couldn't read it, it was still pretty. I'm still reading volume 7... but I will finish them all one day. And I'm barely understanding anything, but I feel like I do because I know how to pronounce everything with the the furigana.
Because of my love for SZS, I've been searching an English speaking SZS community... much to no avail. English speaking SZS lovers are few and far between. I suppose there's a good deal more that have watched the anime, but were I wanting to discuss anything about the manga... I would find myself lost. About the only semblance of a community I've seen is the SZS thread in /cm/.
Beyond my woes of finding English speaking ZETSBOUSHITA'ers, I keep turning back to Korean. Not that I've given up Japanese - that would be ridiculous (though I do make excuses that I'm studying more than I have just because everything I use is in Japanese). It's just... I see the little 한글 (Korean letters) and keep saying, awww it's so cute, I should be able to know what it's saying! In fact, just yesterday I probably added 10 blogs about Korean to my google reader (But they were in Japanese! That's my excuse....)
I've read the same page like ten times in Puchimon. Never getting time to actually hit the next button...
Nothing more interesting to add for the dayyy.
