Today, I decided to give the Japanese drama Jin another shot. I originally started watching it a few years ago, but the medical gore was a bit much for me back then. Now that it’s available on Netflix, I figured I’d try again. While I still can’t handle the gory scenes, I’ve found that simply covering the screen with my hand works just fine. The “time-slip” storyline is intriguing, and with Nakatani Miki and Ayase Haruka in the cast, I’m really enjoying season one! I also noticed Netflix has season two, so we’ll see if I can stick with it until the end.

Today, I picked up A Closed and Common Orbit from the library. It’s the second book in Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers series. I absolutely loved the first book, so I’m excited to dive back into this universe. Plus, it’ll be a nice change of pace to read from a physical book instead of a screen!

I was thrilled to discover that the second season of Love Village is now available on Netflix! I absolutely loved the first season. While I’m not entirely sure how scripted this reality show might be, it’s incredibly entertaining. Plus, it’s a great way for me to practice my Japanese listening skills.
