I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted to buy that Git book… Like others here, I already know how to use it, but that definitely caught my eye!

Is it good?

it’s much more like an actual manga book than an actual tutorial on Git, so very cute!

tbh i haven’t properly read it yet, there’s a fair bit of advanced Japanese (at least for me haha) but from skimming through it seems to quite comprehensive!

I had hoped after this trip that I’d have all first prints of the regular JoJo manga, but I am exactly 1 volume short- Steel Ball Run 22. Curse thee. I think it should fit nicely on the bottom shelf though once I find it. That shelf feels like it has enough give. The one above is almost painfully dense.

Oh I really enjoyed 世界から猫が消えたなら! The audiobook is well done, too. The movie version…not so much :sweat_smile:

I’ve noticed it’s a pretty popular book and the premise sounds interesting, so I’ve been wanting to read it! It was a pleasantly surprising find along with a couple other titles that sounded interesting. :slight_smile:

Sure, I’ll let you know when I started! I still need to finish Genki 2 but thought I might as well be ready :slight_smile:
I picked them because good feedback from WK users (can’t remember where), and also because of the review from this video: I spent $162 on Intermediate Japanese Textbooks so YOU don't have to - Quartet Review (and more) - YouTube
