actually though i did put in lots of effort into japanese study this year
- (re)started wanikani for kanji/vocab, now at L33
- listening practice with podcasts, jp youtubers & anime with jp subs (conan was with eng and mainly for fun 🤷‍♀️)
- read 50 books!! 49 manga, 1 light novel

well they've revealed very little and keep adding new agents that are part of it!

watched ~700 episodes of detective conan in about 6 months
