Integrating manga with studying kanji makes it a lot more enjoyable. If you are learning Japanese and you need help memorizing kanji, I suggest you look into this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great way to learn Kanji and practice Hiragana! *by B***M on November 2, 2012* This book provides a simple way of learning Kanji, and the Japanese conversations with English translations is a perfect way to see the Kanji in action, along with working on memorizing Hiragana, or just reviewing it and getting better at reading it. I definitely reccommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some Mistakes were possibly made? *by D***E on January 8, 2025* I'm not sure as I'm using the material to learn Japanese, but some of the Kanji were not matching up with the meanings for Kanji I'd learned in other settings. I'm pretty fluent with being able to read with Hiragana and Katakana and some Kanji, but some of the Kanji meanings I'd never heard of. Now, as I said, I'm learning Japanese and I know meanings can change once you venture more into informal from formal, but an updated editorial review of the material may be in order. Other than that, I find the small book format easy to carry along and use when traveling. You can also read one book for a set amount of time and start to recognize the characters fairly easily as you practice writing your Kanji. This is why I'm concerned about there being incorrect readings, because it would be detrimental, specifically for reading and pronouncing a sentence, if it was to be read as Toomouimasu and not Shouomouimasu. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/4589611-kanji-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.in/products/4589611-kanji-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
