A challenge for a challenge
Last sunday, I finally muster the courage to go to the local library and borrowed some books. I’m really itching to find out what happened to Taiki in the 12 Kingdom . I could not find any translated works anywhere, so no other choice but to translate it myself. So I borrowed the 2 volume of Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Sora (黄昏の岸、暁の天). Hurriedly get home to start reading it, though I’m already aware that there would tons of difficult, very difficult characters in it. Unlike manga ( Japanese comics) where there are hiragana alongside the Kanji, and of course the pictures, novels rarely do ( as far as I know ) so it is more difficult to understand. So after a couple of hours, I finally finished the first page, and hundreds more to go. Not only will this be my official entry for the Japanese Reading Challenge but also a challenge to improve my Japanese skill forcefully.
I will be posting some excerpt along the way

You might have to try ordering it through amazon something…
It says in wikipedia that there’s a release in the US in 2006 or 2007…
