insanenekoUgh, looks like I need to take a break from cleaning after all. The mind's willing, but the body is exhausted. I do need some energy for work, after all. ^^;
I seriously need to read the afterwards of books. Today I was rereading a BL book I rather like and have reread quite a number of times. This time, I decided to read the afterwards as well. Imagine my utter surprise when I read that the book was actually the first book of a series...I was pretty excited, but as the book more or less wrapped things up I wondered if it was a "series" in that the books were focused on different but interconnected characters as opposed to books all featuring the same main characters. I checked amazon japan to find that two books to complete the series had already been released and that they both were about the main characters of the first book! I can't believe I was missing out for at least a year! I was not going to order anything before my trip, but...I'm sorely tempted to now. :P
I hope the sequels don't suck. I really like the first book.
I discovered a favorite book from my childhood during my cleaning. It is a kanji dictionary specifically targeted towards elementary school students. Even when I hated Japanese I liked looking at this dictionary because it packed a lot of information and lots of color. Some of the pictures are hilarious and tongue in cheek, some just plain illustrative. I have no idea if the origins of the characters they give are in any way true, but it's still fun to read the explanations.
I did a search on amazon japan, and unfortunately it looks like it is out of print. I scanned in two sample pages just to show the format.
Oh yes, the Yamane Ayano interview in Pafu I had summarized earlier has been scanlated, available to members of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yamane_ayano or club_sion. I...find it a bit odd to scanlate an interview...but whatever. It was a good interview, so the more people who get to read it the better, right?
