Answer 1

Hi. You can find some at thejapanshop.com. I've bought some good stuff from them before. A fun one I'm reading now is called "Living Japanese Through Comics." It has comics written in Japanese (with furigana above the kanji) as well as romaji underneath, and it also has English translations as well as explanations of key vocab and grammar points featured in each comic strip. They even throw in cultural info too. It's a fun way to learn. Good luck with your studies!

Answer 2

unhappy to assert, i don't think of you will have the skill to discover any. there is not sufficient call for for it as an entire comedian in romaji is only too perplexing. distinctive kanji can sound precisely the comparable and hence spelled the comparable in romaji; you would be busy (and annoyed) attempting to piece the verbal replace or tale alongside with the context. you would be extra useful off studying hiragana alongside with some rudimentary kanji earlier attempting to study a eastern comedian. or you may attempt examining the translated ones, surprisingly those achieved via scanlators (communities of comedian fanatics such as you who test the unique eastern comics and then translate them into English) which may be chanced on online.

Answer 3

Rather than books, I would suggest the Hiragana Times website. You can sign up to get e-mail about various subjects in Japanese written in romaji, hiragana, and Kanji. If you use Yahoo Mail, the only annoying thing is that it will automatically change any Japanese mail you receive to Japanese EUC encoding, so you'll have to go to Encodings, which is under Page setting in Vista, and change to that encoding to read the mail.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
