Third manga

The third manga that I've browsed through is aimed more for adults. I has a surreal atmosphere to it. Almost weird, really. Dosegen is its title. Seems to be about someone who uses the bow-to-the floor technique to get what he wants. The language seems quite telegraphic and shorthand, although the size of the script is easy on my eyes.

At first glance the protagonist on the book's cover reminded me of James Dean. I can;t imagine how they are going to get a series out of this. I'll rate this 6/10 same as the previous book.

Just a word or two about the 3-year gap recently. It doesn't mean I've none nothing with the language (yet not as much as I wanted). I've been working on Heisig's way of learning Kanji. It's excellent. I,m up to over 1370 of them. A good site I've used for almost exactly a year to review them is Reviewing the Kanji. I've worked a lot on developing my ideas for an English-learning method for Japanese people. Those techniques are proving useful for me to learn Japanese too.
