I did it folks I found the best way to recommend Trauma Team to people

"There’s high drama moments like that, and then there’s, you know. The surgeon who’s also serving like 250 consecutive life sentences in prison but gets his own little prison in the hospital so he can operate there. The teleporting ninja-doctor with her teleporting butler and custom-made endoscope (yes you heard me right, endoscope, as in the thing they use to check your colon). The orthopedic surgeon who literally dresses up like a superhero in his off hours. Maria who is absolutely feral and acts like she lives on energy drinks but in our eyes is absolutely an ADHD icon. The time you use a sword as a scalpel to cut into this guy’s chest, and use your endoscope to treat his lungs. The time the orthopedic surgeon, who by the way looks like an Elvis impersonator, SOMEHOW USES HIS OWN BODY AS A CIRCUIT TO RESTORE POWER TO THE HOSPITAL AND DOESN’T EVEN NEED MEDICAL CARE meanwhile the diagnostician, Mr. smokes even in the shower, is pranking the FBI btw. The bus that crashes into the second floor of the mall, also you use your endoscope to find victims under the rubble, now WHY DO YOU HAVE YOUR ENDOSCOPE AT THE MALL WERE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR YOUR FRIES WITH A FREE COLONOSCOPY."

#ALSO I LOVE HOW MARIA IS LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE WHOSE NAME I ACTUALLY USED #p.s. i love naomi too but im p sure making fun of her is illegal thx #anyway presented without any other context lmao #trauma team #trauma center

does anyone have any recs for native websites/apps (=not made for learners) that are fun to read? i’m not interested in the news....i’m considering getting a magazine subscription from honto but i figured i’d ask what ppl are reading before i decide for sure 🤔

my go-to is usually note, which is a big blogging website where people write about random stuff. there's a lot of different categories, personally i really enjoy the やってみた section since it's fun seeing what people tried doing (i saw someone write about how they made coffee out of acorns on a whim which was pretty funny), but there's also art, fashion, childraising, pets, travel, if there's a category for it they probably have it

はてなブログ is a similar blogging platform where people talk about random stuff too. i've used it less so i know less about it but there's some fun reads in there

アメーバ is another blogging platform but ive never been on it i just know it because it's kinda well-known

NHKハートネット (specifically the みんなの声 section) is a cool forum-like place where they ask people to share their experience with certain topics, usually about their 悩み, and people have very interesting stories to tell

青空文庫 is pretty famous so you mightve heard of it already but it's a big digital japanese library, it has a lot of classics and fables and stuff like that. i remember reading 走れメロス off there a while ago

this one's not quite the thing you'd read everyday but ひきこもり村 is a forum for ひきこもり and many of the posts (at least last time i looked) show a very human look into everyday people's lives and can be pretty philosophical

and this is just a gigantic archive of this one japanese counselor's online diary entries from 1999-2010 which i just find fascinating to sift through

also, this is a PS since it was mentioned in your original tags, but i was able to download the honto app and i dont live in japan?? i went to this link on my phone and downloaded it from there

anyway i'd be interested to see what other native sites/apps people use too! :>

Syosetsu: People publish their short stories on there and sometimes they even get published from what I have heard.

Pixiv might be most known for art but many also publish stories and short manga on there.

Tree-novel is similar to Syosetsu. People can publish their own writing, be it essays, short stories, novels, etc.

A Summer Day, a web novel, is no longer being updated since it was just extra content for the game Loop8 which came out in 2022 but might still be fun to read through. There are 27 chapters in total.
