Title: Worth the purchase but...
Product review: I've been studying Japanese for 5 months. I've worked through, "Japanese for Busy People" the Romanji version. It will take about 10-12 years of daily study to be able to read Japanese if not write it..even if you go through this entire series you won't be able to pick up seinen manga and read it with out more vocabulary and kanji memorization. Even shounen with furigana will be difficult.However this series is a great way to introduce ones self to the Manga style of writing.One thing I have noticed is that my other dictionaries and source books on verbs list type 1 verbs as the "u" dropping variable verbs, while this book lists type one verbs (it refers to them as group 1) as the "ru" dropping invariable verbs.I'm far from being an expert on written Japanese grammar, however I was confused at first with this (I'm working my way through several books and dictionaries from cover to cover simultaneously).Please correct me if I'm wrong.Thank you,Michael
