Crystal Hunters
Summary
Crystal Hunters is something that happened because we wanted to have more fun learning languages. Too much of language learning focuses on cramming vocabulary and grammar, and almost none of it focuses on enjoying the language you’ve already learned. So why not learn new things in your target language and then immediately see them used in an epic tale of monsters and magic? We wanted a world with something like this in it, so we’re making it happen.
Take the first step on your adventure to learn Japanese. You only need to know 87 Japanese words and particles to read over 100 pages of an epic manga with monsters and magic. Free guides to help read and understand the whole manga can be found on ou
