Wanikani Wednesday Weekly Word Web!

I knew the title and the little synopsis blurb for the book but I didn’t expect to nerd snipe so many people with just the word mirror.

I like it a little better as kanji because I always think it’s grass for half a second when it’s katakana.

Like the video game? I know it’s just Japanese for wolf but I usually think of that as well.

表紙 = book cover

Interestingly, when I look at the English word ‘paper,’ certain associations come to mind in English (like rock, paper, scissors), but when I look at the kanji, I get different associations in Japanese :thinking:
