“my son is autistic and he really enjoyed learning the different kana. i even helped him sound them out and showed him proper stroke order! (pause) anyways, if you have a younger kid who loves anime, playing this with them is a great bonding experience.”

“Thanks to this game, Hiragana was permanently burned into my brain. If you're a newcomer to Japanese, this game is a MUST PLAY. It also teaches some words and grammar. Definitely complete this one and Katakana War before tackling Genki or Wanikani.”
