I’m in Japan right now and have my old DS lite with me (not enough money to get a 3DS yet… meh), I downloaded Ni no Kuni but I heard it’s hard to get through the game without having the actual “book” which comes officially with it: is it true?

Also, I downloaded Love Plus because I heard about dating sims being nice to play for beginners/intermediate learners on several forums but I see no furigana… Would you happen to know some dating sim game with furigana in it? I only know about 100 kanjis yet…

I’m going to try Anpanpan to Asobo Aiueo Kyoushitsu as advised here, might be very useful.

Thank you for this awesome website anyway, very neat :)

I can just generate my own story…or something like that.

That makes it as good (if not better) than showing the firigana all the time as you only look at it if you need it. Fantastic! Now I can actually play the game and not have to try and look up the kanji (takes a long time to do this) every unknown word I come across.

I learned tons of useful expressions from it
