This is supposed to be a sound word in Japanese to describe the heart beating fast (similar to 두근두근). No, my heart is not fluttering but my heart is literally beating super fast cos I just bought 11 Japanese novels at one go.
My heart can’t take the shock of the state of my wallet. :/
The exhilaration is mixed with guilt and shock and happiness. ><
It takes a lot of courage to swipe the books off the shelves lolol.
I love my buys, so no talk of regret.
But I solemnly swear that I will not buy anymore Japanese books until I finish at least 11 books of my collection thus far.
Yes I will not. I will not be tempted by even the 20% kino sale.
Okay, I forgot that I ordered the 2 Psycho Pass Asylum books that will come in a few weeks. ;;;
So what did I buy?
* NO.6 original light novel series (9 in total)
* Ano Hana novel version (2 in total)
They both aired on this TV anime programming block called NOITAMINA. Which also aired a few of my all time favs: Psyco Pass, Nodame Cantabile, Ano Hana, Zankyo no Terror
Totally different themes but I love them all
I cried like crazzzzzyyy watching Ano Hana ;;; So I’m kind of looking forward to cry more in the novel….
NO.6 was also really good. Seeing how much I love this and Psycho Pass, I seem to be very attracted to those post apocalyptic stories set in the future world lolol. The OST is mad amazing ><
Apparently the anime didnt do justice to the novels and manga, so Im super looking forward to the books!! (Personally I find the anime amazing, even though the final reveal left me confused)
I am dangerously getting toooo into Japanese stuff. The only hope I can have is for my proficiency to improve by leaps and bounds.

Within the next year I’ll probably need another bookshelf. Enjoy your new books! I’m looking forward to hearing about NO.6.

21 February, 2015 at 3:50 PMI remember watching No.6 before but I never looked into it enough to know that it was from a novel series. You have rekindle my interest in it… I guess everyone gets the itch of buying books after reading your posts. ^^

25 February, 2015 at 5:37 AMReally? I think I have one more reason to learn Japanese : books are better than the anime.

21 February, 2015 at 4:32 PMWhen I look at your book collection both Korean and Japanese I’m so envious ;-; I hope I lived nearer S.Korea and Japan because now the shipping costs more than the item D:
Anyway, I hope you could do some more posts about how you learn now or something like that. I really enjoyed seeing photos of your notebooks in the past~

24 February, 2015 at 10:31 AMHi Beun!
Yeah I’m pretty glad I live in Asia >< Can't imagine the shipping costs otherwise! We have a Japanese bookstore (Kinokuniya) here too, the prices are not the cheapest but still it's way better than shipping it from Japan. Will post more!!
