Hi everyone! 
We have lots of lovely new content to add to WaniKani, starting Thursday, April 29. The plan is to add a small number of new members to the family each week, to keep things manageable for lessons and reviews. Depending on feedback, we might speed up the additions a little, or slow them down if itโs getting too much.
Weโll probably hide some items too, either because theyโre really obscure, or because we have lots of other (more useful) words to practice a particular kanji reading. Weโll give plenty of notice before hiding anything though.
As with all our previous content additions, there wonโt be any site downtime, and you donโt need to do anything extra to get the new items. They will simply appear in your lessons if you are on the level of the item or above.
This is our tentative schedule for the additions. Weโll keep updating it as the new content is published!

As always, weโd love to hear your feedback, either in the comments below or by email: hello@wanikani.com. 
The transitivity-intransitivity verb pairs were always a weak-point for me, so Iโm looking forward to cramming these when you release them! 
Looking forward to see what kind of change this makes to peopleโs experience in the Pleasant levels.
