If you’re reading Kiki’s Delivery Service now though, you should still feel free to ask any questions you can’t find the answers to in the appropriate threads :slightly_smiling_face: P…

[image] seanblue: it included kanji for all words learned in elementary school, and words beyond that were written in hiragana That would at least explain the nerve-racking かの女 we saw in Time Girl, as Jisho claims that the first kanji is only taught in junior high :rofl:

How about seeing あした and あたし right next to each other? Seeing the former as 明日 sure would help…

Since this series is on my “to read” list for 2020, and since 「霧のむこうのふしぎな町」 has been murdering me with so many words I don’t know plus lack of kanji, I decided to peek at the first few pages of Kiki. [DSC_4453 (resized)] ▶ Squints for furigana. So, I don’t know if there’s an ebook with furigana ou…

Maybe a new “reboot” thread with ample links to this original one?

This one is on my list, but the ebook lacks furigana (which I’m sure I can waste time programming a vaguely passable solution for, for personal use), so I’m not in a super big hurry. I’m still partway through Mist, though…

Yep, it would definitely be connected to this thread if that’s the route we go. I just can’t process the pros and cons myself right now :sweat_smile: obviously I imagine we’d use the existing discussion threads, because many of our questions will already be answered and there’s no point duplicating…

My prior post a couple of months ago covered the kanji across the whole Kiki series. With the amount of interest in a re-read, I ran the numbers for book one alone. Unique Kanji: 681 Total Kanji: 10,264 [Screenshot_20200324_151614] This chart says, for example, that at the end of level 20, one …
