Characteristics:

With the overwhelming rise in the popularity of Japanese manga and animation there is a growing interest in reading comic in their original language and understanding more about Japan's popular culture. Japanese in MangaLand is the first book to translate this interest into a learning system designed to teach the beginning students basic conversational Japanese.

Japanese in MangaLand is not a typical language course. For anyone interested in the language and culture of the Land of the Rising Sun, this book is an ideal alternative as it offers an entertaining way of learning the basics of Japanese.

Texts found in the popular comics or manga are the starting point for learning written and spoken Japanese. Whether or not you are interested in manga, you can pick up the basics from these clear and concise lessons divided into 30 chapters, with plenty of practical exercises and a mini-guidebook of the 160 essential kanji.
