Kochikame
As previously mentioned I picked up another copy of the Japanese manga Kochikame (こちら葛飾区亀有公園前派出所) on our recent trip to Portland. This one was just as fun to read, if not funner, than the first one I reviewed before.
Either my reading and understanding is getting better or this second was simply easier to understand. I’m guessing it’s the former as I’ve been reading and studying Japanese a lot lately.
Even if your Japanese isn’t great, Kochikame is a great way to improve it (while having a smile on your face) as there is furigana next to all of the kanji as you can see in the example below.
If you’d like to take my two books off my hands they are $5 each plus shipping. Each is almost 200 pages in length.
