As well as Manga, I feel that Anime may be an even better tool that I could use to learn Japanese. I stumbled on Baby Steps today. It seems ideal for a number of reasons.
Baby Steps has good reviews. It is freely available. (e.g. Mangapanda).The spoken language is clear and 'everyday', the characters are interesting and not over-the-top. I can relate to the slightly nerdy academic main character and his eventual infatuation with tennis. I can read the original manga (in English) alongside. Plus, I'm sure that I can buy it (in Japanese) from the local Book.Off.
What more could I want?
