I notice myself using a “fake radical” –
侖 = “Library”
I mean, look:
It looks just like one. And 冊 means “bookshelf.”
The meaning of 侖 is to be think and to methodical – all appropriate for association with a library.
And there are several kanji that can work with it:
So this is my nomination for 侖 as a library, RATHER THAN: “A bookshelf, and there’s a hat on the ground, too.”
I had to add the synonym ‘rabbit’ for the radical 兑 (‘guard’), because it looks more like a rabbit to me. So 説 is a talking rabbit (he’s giving a talk on set theory), and 脱 is a moon rabbit (don’t ask).
I 
that! I’m using that from now on! 説! 脱!
You’re of course free to study with WK however you want. But it’s worth noting that WK will teach you Library as a radical in lv 31 扁. So naming a different radical library might cause you some issues later on.
There’s a door over the bookcase. That makes this a library!
I don’t mean to pry, and you don’t have to say anything about it, but there is one in 問題児たちが異世界から来るそうですよ. That’s what I thought of when I read that.
I just want to point out that this is the radical name, not what the kanji means as a word. As a word, it’s closer to ‘volume’ as in ‘copy of a book’ or ‘one book in a series’.
I’m glad that you’ve found a helpful way to remember this though!
Haha cute, pretty sure he was thinking of Sailor Moon, not whatever you think about 
Quite possible since Sailor Moon is much older and better known. The problem: I don’t know much about the Sailor Moon series at all. Hahaha.
As for that Mondaiji series… I just happened to come across it on Crunchyroll during a period where I was watching tons of isekai anime, and I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that I enjoyed it. 
(The moon rabbit in that series is really memorable because she has an important role, even if she’s not really one of the protagonists. That and… she gets targeted in a lot of the jokes too. 
)
The main character’s name is Usagi… and she’s Sailor Moon. There is nothing else to know 
Ah! I see. That’s a good one. Thanks! 
To be clear, mind, Sailor Moon is named Tsukino Usagi (literally “rabbit of the moon”) purely because the Japanese do see a rabbit in the moon. Where the west sees the man in the moon, Japan (and China et al) see a rabbit making rice cakes.
(Her name in the English dub, Serena, is intended to maintain that connection to the moon - Selene is the goddess of the moon in Greek mythology.)
I thought it was common knowledge, so I was a bit confused by the responses 
I think I learned about it from Dragon Ball back in the late 80s early 90s (can’t remember). San Goku puts a rabbit-like character (and his henchmen) on the moon, where they start making mochi. Also they can breath, for some reason.
