<div><p>Japanese difficult? Study boring? No way! Not with this “real <i>manga</i>, real Japanese” approach to learning. Presenting all spoken Japanese as a variation of three basic sentence types, <i>Japanese the Manga Way</i> shows how to build complex constructions step by step. Every grammar point is illustrated by an actual <i>manga</i> published in Japan to show how the language is used in real life, an approach that is entertaining and memorable. As an introduction, as a jump-start for struggling students, or (with its index) as a reference and review for veterans, <i>Japanese the Manga Way</i> is perfect for all learners at all levels.</p><p><b>Wayne P.
