A great way of learning Japanese is by reading Manga, since it exposes you to typical speaking vocabulary compared to your standard textbook. This comic however, focuses its conversation lessons around an izakaya or traditional Japanese bar setting, designed to teach English to Japanese. For those who've studied for a semester or two, you can learn Japanese through a "reverse" method, taking the English text and recognizing the Japanese translations. Portions of the text are also written with furigana pronunciation making it easier for those unable to read the kanji. Inside you'll read about the local beers of Tokyo, Summer Snacks, going to the Sake Brewery, and more. Part of the Nichibun Comics collection. (More like this) (Direct link to this product)

In the intervening years, Kaoru had cut ties to his family and its corporate group and cannot accept Aoi, but as he gets to know her, he's won over by her sense of devotion and her kind heart. Aoi sympathizes with Kaoru’s delicate plight and resolves to stay and live with him anyway.

With a large subculture devoted entirely to creating comic and graphic art, Japan appears to lead the globe in comic art, with many publications dedicated to just the creation. The most prominent is Comickers, a publication whose raison d'etre seems to be to teach the various methods of comic art creation directly from the professionals. In this side publication dedicated to color technique, Comickers assembles a gathering of pros to teach us how it's done, and the lineup presented here is staggering in its talent. After a brief introduction to the basic paints, papers, brushes and markers used for coloring, Oh Great! of Tenjo Tenge fame teaches us how he makes an awesome cover for Comickers, starting from the preliminary stages to the final product, employing over 100 Copic markers in the process. (Naturally we see his cover not only in the front, but as a mini poster as well, and his linework appears under the cover as well) Next is CG, with a look at some of the hottest pros in the business: Range Murata, Kim Hyung-Tae, Houden-Eizou, Chen Shu-Fen and Pin Fan, the latter who shows us how it's done in Painter with a step by step tutorial, while Lily Hoshino takes us through how she uses Photoshop. Drawing inks are given their proper due through the work of Hiroki Mafuyu, noa shows watercolor technique, and Hamlet Okinawa shows us the magic of acrylics. An amazing book full of color wisdom that artists attempting to upgrade their techniques will definitely want to check out. 138 pages, perfectbound. 8.25" x 11.75".

The year 13,800 A.D. Due to an apocalypse that ravaged the entire earth several centuries earlier, humans have been relegated to the position of an endangered species on blighted land. Only a small sliver of green is left, the acidic oceans are aflame and the blue skies remain no more. The earth cannot even produce sustenance for people to survive. Sui was raised the daughter of a florist in City Gilde, but on her 18th birthday things suddenly shift and her peaceful, if poor, life is thrown into turmoil. A sudden coup d’etat occurs and fatally injured in the fray, her surrogate mother, Nene, relays to her a shocking message with her dying words - Sui is actually the last surviving member of the royal family and a princess heir to the throne. So Sui sets out on a journey with Laliela to take the Key of Will bequeathed to her by Nene to the Sage U.

This time, Kasumi is aiming to seek out the lost 11th Commandment of Moses. Kasumi discovers that his childhood friend, Reina Tachibana is in southern Europe participating in an archeological dig.

When Martha realizes that she is at death's door, she leaves her son, the Great Swordsman ALES with her last wish before passing away.

Kasumi Shindo. This 18-year old is a high school student but has a second identity, that of a top treasure hunter.He is seeking the " Eleventh Commandments of Moses". Convinced that ruins discovered on an island in the south of Europe are home to this find, he decides to make a trek there. Learning that a friend form his childhood, Reina Tachibana, whose family he once lived with, is working on an excavation team there he concocts a plan to visit under the pretense of being a tourist.
Ai Tachibana. Reina's younger sister and Kasumi's bride to be as arranged by their parents, Ai pretends that she detests the idea of marrying Kasumi, but in fact she is really crazy about him. Ai decides to use her summer vacation to help her sister on the excavation and is initially excited about seeing Kasumi after a gap of ten years, but once they meet they can't seem to keep from fighting with each other.
Reina Tachibana. Ai's older sister and a professor of Archeology at a university in England, Reina is in charge of the excavation team. While suffering and sometimes unreliable due to a lack of common sense, she brings to her work, a wealth of specialized knowledge. She detests treasure hunters and the way they ravage the culturally valuable ruins, but hasn't yet clued into Kasumi's true identity.
Arglelech. An up and coming treasure hunter who has recently reared his head. In contrast to his chosen profession, he is not especially attached to money and does not appear to be very aware of the stigma of being a treasure hunter. It seems that in his past somewhere lies a connection with Kasumi.

 

Ales. A swordsman of such skill that his name spreads far beyond his own hamlet. He harbors serious doubts that the "Will of God" is not what makes people suffer. To discover the truth for himself, he sets out on a journey alone. A man of strong moral fiber and unflagging courage, he soon gains a group of steadfast companions.Aqua. A strange young girl encountered in Plen Arc, she is in actuality, one of God's four mediums. By all appearances, she is merely a child, but in reality is older than ALES and talks as if she were an adult. She takes an interest in ALES and decides to help him under certain conditions.
Will. Lives in Plen Arc. She is a member of "Song of God" and tasked with the duty of conveying the will of God to people through dance. God called to her, but because she defied him, the oracles have decimated Plen Arc. When ALES arrives in Plen Arc, she has gone missing. The question is whether she perished with the city, or...Quake. A man that lives in the seaside hamlet of Sea Arc also happens to be an oracle. Normally living a quiet life with the fishermen of Sea Arc, QUAKE cuts a bold figure and has a personality that leaves an impression. Despite appearances, he is also a man of deep reflection and possesses a wealth of knowledge. A certain incident drives him to join forces in taking action with ALES.

Military otaku fans who love the military lifestyle now turn to the undisputed the source to get you sounding like an Authentic US Marine, Maritan Shuchu Drill. Follow your drill instructor Sergeant Martian, US Army Private Recruit Ami-san, and US Navy Lieutenant commander Neibi-san teaching you the proper use of the words "Maggot!" and "Scumbag" and even commonly used acronyms like FUBAR. Each lesson spans 2 pages, one with a comic strip providing the situation of when to use the expression, and the other page providing detailed explanation (in Japanese), pronunciation guides, and side memos by your various "drill instructors." Warning, some vulgar language is used (so it is not meant for general audiences), but is meant as a parody of the military dialog, creating that entertaining shock value coming from adorably innocent girls whom you would never expect to hear these words from. For a uniquely cute yet extremely bizarre cultural experience in Japan, this is definitely a book any anime or Moe fan will enjoy. All full color, perfect bound and written in Japanese.
