Japanese kanji-the written characters that were adapted from Chinese-were originally drawings from real life. Japanese comic books and cartoons now provide fresh images to help us learn. Kanji de Manga uses today's manga images to make the kanji-learning process fun and easy for "otaku" of all ages. Enjoy the pictures, study the stroke orders, memorize the kanji; with a little patience and practice, you'll be reading and writing basic Japanese in no time at all!
