Once again I have some issues of The Nihongo Journal available for the first reasonable offer. One issue is from November of 1993. The other is from January of 1996 and includes a cassette tape and case that goes along with it. The cassette has six different dialogues, training sessions, and JLPT oral practice quizzes on it ranging from 3 to 16 minutes each.
I have finished reading the above magazines so now they can be yours. All issues, previously mentioned, of Nihongo Journal (日本語ジャーナル) on this blog have been sold, but as of today all of the Mangajin issues are still available. The more you purchase at once the lower the price per issue.
These issues of Mangajin are Nos. 22, 25, and 26 from late 1992 and early 1993. The Nihongo Journal is from September of 1993.
You don’t have to be able to read any Japanese to enjoy these magazines. Mangajin is mostly in English. All parts that are in Japanese have been translated into English too. If you are learning Japanese they can be useful to your studies though.
I’ve finished reading a couple more magazines that need a new home. If you want them, or the earlier items mentioned, let me know.
Nihongo Journal, August 1993 features articles and pictures on selecting a dictionary, J-league soccer, preparing for the JLPT, and much more. Clocking in at over 120 pages, this magazine can keep you busy studying the Japanese language for a while. Most articles include English translations. All include furigana. Some are aimed at beginners. Others target those at upper beginner and intermediate levels.
Mangajin, No. 24 is no longer available from the publisher and is quite difficult to find. This is one of the better ones I’ve read (not that the others aren’t good). There is much about mizu shobai in this issue. The Crayon Shin-Chan and What’s Michael? manga in this issue are absolutely hilarious. Mangajin expanded to about 100 pages starting with about issue No. 20. Good stuff!
Yesterday I finished the previously mentioned Kochi Kame. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this manga. It turned out to be not so Scooby Doo like after all. Only the first few episodes had similar storylines. The rest showed a wide variety of plots and were unpredictable so that was good.
After finishing I tossed the book into a drawer filled with other Japanese things I’ve finished (since my bookshelves are already overflowing). I realized then that I have too much to read in the next year before returning to Japan so there is no way I will revisit these again. That being the case, I’m willing to part with them for cash or trade.
Here is what I have:
– Japanese Business Glossary, 220 pages from 1983
– Dictionary of Legal Terms, about 550 pages from 1993
– 5 issues of Mangajin, Nos. 9, 17, 18, 19, and 21 (Note that issues 9 and 19 are very rare and can no longer be purchased from the publisher for the normal $6.50 to $20 an issue plus postage. No. 21 is also rare and available for $20 + shipping from the publisher.)
– Nihongo Journal, June 1993 (These are no longer available from the publisher and usually go for $20+ an issue when they show up on eBay.)
– Kochi Kame, 190 pages, 158 kan from January of 2008.
All of these items include translations and/or furigana so you don’t have to have intermediate or advanced Japanese skills to benefit.
You can have them all for US$50 delivered in the U.S. If you don’t want everything, if you are outside of the U.S., or if you’d like to trade for these items, email me and we can arrange different terms.
