HUMOR & FUN STUFF

1	Basic Japanese through comics This is from the people who made Mangajin, the beloved manga (comics) magazine. This book takes useful phrases or grammar points and gives great examples found in actual Japanese Manga! A great, fun way to learn. There is a second book also, but I can't find it.
2	The Encyclopedia of Japanese Pop Culture by Mark Schilling Amazon.com In the West, Japanese culture comes in the form of Power Rangers, Godzilla movies, and Sanrio products, but of course the indigenous pop culture is much richer. Rather than focus on what the rest of the world has already encountered, Mark Schilling provides an encyclopedic compendium of books, movies, music, comedians, and cultural scandals that have had the greatest impact in Japan. Thus, for the outsider, The Encyclopedia of Japanese Pop Culture is an insider's guide to post-war Japan. Not content to simply catalog his entries, Schilling provides real depth and analysis in his articles, opening up Japan's rich pop heritage to the world at large. Our Price: $22.95
