Makoto is the Japanese learning magazine that makes studying feel more like reading something you'd actually want to read—and a lot less like being chased by a grammar textbook. Each issue is built for beginner to intermediate learners, blending real reading practice, cultural deep dives, and listening exercises into something you'll look forward to picking up.
This bundle gives you the first 50 issues—the entire foundation of the Makoto library—at a price we've never offered before and may not offer again.

See It for Yourself

Who Is This For?
If you're learning Japanese and feel stuck in the gap between textbook exercises and native-level content, Makoto is built for you. It's the bridge that turns passive study into active, enjoyable reading—the kind where you actually absorb things because you're interested, not because someone assigned it.
Whether you're a self-studying beginner building your first reading habit, an intermediate learner looking for consistent practice, or someone preparing for the JLPT who wants real content alongside test prep—50 issues gives you a serious library to work through at your own pace.
