Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know kanji?

No—every kanji has furigana. If you can read hiragana, you’ll follow the story just fine. As you read, however, try to "get to know" the kanji. The more kanji you know, the more enjoyable Japanese is.

How do I get the MP3s?

Download links are on the last page of each volume—just click and save the ZIP file or open individual files.

What is the Makoto+ Sentence Explorer?

It’s your interactive companion—unlock every story for word-by-word explanations, TTS audio, and Story Mode quizzes.

What if it’s too easy or hard?

No worries—if it’s not the right level, just let us know. We’ll swap in a better bundle or refund you.
