Most of my Japanese came from self-study.

As far as learning hiragana and katakana, I studied them by following the stroke order and writing out the characters a load of times then started a system where I would fill out a blank chart every day with no guide then corrected it, rewriting the chart correctly. At first, all of my characters were wrong but after repeating this, I learned them all off easily enough. I was in middle school(?) at the time so I was a bit tight on study time, truth told. Flash cards are great. Anki is amazing.

Take it step-by-step and don't let kanji intimidate you! I can't tell you how many kanji I learned from exposure. They get easier to learn, the more you know. Trying to read children's books, looking at manga online. A book that helped kick off my own kanji learning was Kanji de Manga. idk how outdated it is now but I remember loving it.

Make sure you speak out loud and learn how to pronounce things. Studying on my own gave me little cause to say words to anyone when I realised I was pretty unsure of my pronunciation. I was a shy student and Hello Talk and all of that stuff didn't exist so I read outloud for no one a lot.

Though, at the end of the day, if you enjoy what you're studying I do reccomend trying to take a class at some point. Having a native speaker to correct you, connect what you know together, to teach details of culture, these things are invaluable.

​

Edit: I myself haven't used Genki though from the other comment 150 in that book is no stress. You've got this! You'll be amazed how useful those 150 will be :)

Only the 1st volume have been translated, so far.

English release announcement.

The only way that works is if it was given away for free. I know this because there already exists a graphic novel of the Mueller Report. With only 10 ratings on amazon it looks like it didn't sell too well though. Heck, even if you printed copies and handed it out for free, most people still wouldn't read it. The average person is lazy and doesn't give a fuck.

I wonder if you can separate the two. Seifuku might have become a symbol because of the activities of the girls wearing them (in and outside of school).

Japanese Schoolgirl Confidential by Brian Ashcraft might be a good resource for that. It's completely in English.

I've heard great things about "Showa", a graphic novel that covers Japanese history between 1926 and 1989:

Edit:

Also recommend "Speed Tribes" By Karl Taro Greenfield. Easy read:

This book is quite useful if you are heading to tokyo - https://www.amazon.com/Manga-Lovers-Tokyo-Travel-Guide/dp/4805315474

Your grandson may be my nephew. I bought him a copy of the comic from fellow deplorable r/T_D user... whose name I don't remember but his comic is here:

Gotta do what I can to fix his head.

Yes, you can get "It's Over 9,000!" in paperback and hardback on Amazon or Barnes & Noble. And Dragon Ball Culture Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3 are available on Amazon.

New volumes of Dragon Ball Culture will be published in print every 3 months, and Dragon Soul will also be available soon.

You might want to checkout the Kanji De Manga books, I have the first 5 and I think they are pretty good.

If you're interested, there's this really good Graphic Novel / Manga autobiography called [Showa] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showa:_A_History_of_Japan) that goes through in detail Japan's tumultuous rise and fall through the first half of the 20th century. Especially [Showa 1939-1944] (https://www.amazon.ca/Showa-1939-1944-History-Shigeru-Mizuki/dp/1770461515)
