Senko Scramble (Kadokawa Bunko)Shigeaki KatoGREAT BOOK SENSEI
Just like Japanese novels in general,t he book size exactly best size if I want to bring and read it outside! The font too exactly didn't make me boring. I think I could read it many times. But if you didn't used to reading a Japanese novels, the additional cover might be annoying but you could take it off. The content of the novel because the genre a little bit serious themed, the kanji might be hard for beginner Japanese leaner to reading this novel.

Kasa wo Motanai Aritachi wa (Kadokawa Bunko)Shigeaki KatoGREAT BOOK SENSEI
Just like Japanese novels in general, the book size exactly best size if I want to bring and read it outside! The font too exactly didn't make me boring. I think I could read it many times. But if you didn't used to reading a Japanese novels, the additional cover might be annoying but you could take it off. Actually this book didn't same as the other novels, because its content was just like short story collection. But after all the story was great thing to read!

Sento Bishojo No Seishin Bunseki (Chikuma Bunko)Saito TamakiLacanian Psychology in Otaku Subculture
This book takes a Lacanian psychoanalytical approach to otaku subculture with a special focus on the phenomenon of the fighting bishoujo. The analysis is pretty indepth, and though they are explained in the book you might want to consult some secondary sources for the Lacanian terminology, such as the Big Other. Still, the analysis itself is trenchant and thought-provoking; it might be familiar to someone who has read Zizek, another Lacanian. However, a lot of the book is taken up by a genealogy of the fighting bishoujo, which is divided up into several subgenres. It's interesting in itself as far as it goes, but might be too simplified. The sections on Henry Darger are also fairly interesting as a case study and example of how Japanese media tropes present as radical 'outsider' art in the west. If you want a more nuanced view of Otaku, that starts from the premise that it's hardly easy, and in fact counterproductive and delusional in itself, to idly suggest that otaku are just 'seperated from reality', you will find some interesting ideas here. "Otaku know reality the best of anyone" is a controversial theory perhaps, but Saitto makes a good case for it.

Hikaru no Go 1 (Shueisha Bunko O55-8 Comic Ver.)Yumi Hotta, Ken Obata, Yukari YoshiharaFast delivery
I am actually hesitant at first since I didn't like the cover but after I receive the item. I was actually very amazed on how good the quality of the paper is. To the point that I do not want to hold it without cleaning or washing my hands first. Also, I was happy how it delivered so quickly. It is the first time that I didn't wait to long for my manga or anime stuff within a week. Totally gonna buy the rest of the volumes soon.

Kimi no Suizo wo Tabetai (Futaba Bunko)Sumino YoruThis book really attracted my atention
The moment I did read that title I thought it would be a very fantastic history. I really suggest this book for all the people who like a casual history with a lot of feelings.

Kimi no Suizo wo Tabetai (Futaba Bunko)Sumino YoruGlad I choose to read this novel.
I don’t usually read romance/slice of life novels very often. Rather I rarely do. Though, this time, I broke this habit of mine by buying this book, ‘I want to eat your pancreas”, by sheer curiosity, wondering about the reason behind it being one of the best sellers of its year. The result? I understood that reason very well to the point of shedding a few tears. This novel was absolutely magnificent. Besides its easy-pacing that suited my preference, I think the most important element that made it outstanding was the writing. Like the way the protagonist is called by his surroundings implying their impressions and feelings towards him, and how it was used to describe the change of these feelings throughout time or the wonderful idiomatic title-drop used at the very end of the story. Long story short, I felt quite satisfied after finishing this book, and I’m glad I choose to read it.

Roosevelt Game (Kodansha Bunko)Jun IkeidoFast and reliable
I got the book within 1 week after it was processed in Japan for 2-3 days. It took one week because of local postal office issue but overall the quality of the book and even the FRAGRANCE of the book itself gave pleasure and of course it automatically adds up to my collection. Thank you for the fast and reliable processing. Would look around again if I see some stuff that I will buy.

Your Name. (Kimi no Na wa.) (Kadokawa Tsubasa Bunko)Makoto Shinkai, ChikoFantastic
A book based off a lovely film. The Tsubasa Bunko line is very good for those who are learning Japanese.
-
Your Name. (Kimi no Na wa.) (Kadokawa Tsubasa Bunko)Makoto Shinkai, ChikoGood for japanese language learning
This version of the novel has furigana in every kanji so it's perfect for everyone learning japanese language. Also, it's very easy to understand the story (I guess they made it easier for children to read this book). The illustrations are beautiful and the quality of the paper is incredible. It's a great story too, and it's very nice to have the book even if you've already watched the movie. I believe there are minor details in this novel book that wasn't shown in the movie.
