Hello!
It sounds like you’ve got further than me. It’s quite a while since I’ve picked it up, other books have been taking precedence.
I want to read the Tale of Murasaki too. That’d probably be a much easier read, but I’d like to get Genji one first.
Before I started reading it, I thought I’d like to read it in Japanese too, but I’m finding it slow enough going in English, so I don’t think so, even if my Japanese was good enough. However, a Japanese friend of mine said they read it as manga in school, so perhaps I can look out for that in a few years, if my Japanese improves enough.
