Reading Japanese carries a strong reputation for being difficult;  however,  by understanding the characteristics of kanji and hiragana and practising breaking sentences into units, you can steadily improve your reading ability while consulting a dictionary. I created this site hoping to offer just a little help in delving deeper into the rich world of Japanese language shared across all Japanese culture, including light novels and manga. I would be delighted if the methods presented here prove useful to you as one hint amongst the many study approaches and knowledge available.
