The Biggest Upgrade
Now read the whole collection inside the app

iPhone iPad Android

These are the classic Japanese short stories that make reading actually fun — every word defined, every grammar point explained, and the kanji explored along the way. You'll pick up real vocabulary and grammar while absorbing the culture behind the tales.
The Big Update
What Changed in This Edition
This wasn't a light touch-up. We went through all ten books page by page and rebuilt them from the reading up. Here's what's new.
① Read anywhere — app, tablet, or phone
Unlock every story in the app
Read the full collection in the Makoto Japanese Explorer app on iPhone, iPad, and Android — no files to manage.
Tap any word
Look up meanings and readings as you go, with the audio for each story built right in.
Sentence Explorer
Study each sentence interactively, word by word, online or in the app via Makoto+ Sentence Explorer.
② Read with a plan — not just front to back
"Before You Read"
A short, spoiler-free warm-up before each story: the grammar, vocabulary, and cultural patterns worth watching for.
Exercises + Answer Keys
Comprehension questions, particle fill-in-the-blanks, grammar-pattern hunts, and translation comparisons — with full answer keys so you can check yourself.
Enrichment Boxes
Grammar spotlights, cultural notes, vocabulary builders, and reading tips dropped in right beside the sentence they explain.
③ Cleaner, more honest Japanese
Romaji is gone
We removed romaji from the Japanese content and use furigana instead, so your eyes stay on the kana and kanji where they belong.
Furigana, done right
Furigana over every kanji in the word-by-word notes, resized on the sentences for a cleaner read, and removed from the vocab headwords so you recall the reading yourself.
A full editorial pass
We corrected readings, fixed word breakdowns (conjugations and morphology), and tightened every definition across the whole bundle.
④ Beautiful and easy to use
Redesigned title pages
Title, watercolor illustration, audio QR codes, and a short story teaser — all on one page.
Never lose your place
Running headers and page numbers throughout, plus a clickable table of contents in every book.
New art and structure
Fresh watercolor illustrations and ink-brush dividers, with three consistent sections per story: line-by-line → full Japanese → close English summary.
~100 pages
of brand-new content added across the ten books — and as always, every update is yours free, for life.
All ten books, freshly redesigned inside and out.
What's Included
The bundle is complete with ten full-length volumes. Read them in the app or download instantly in digital format and start improving your reading (PDFs & ePub), your listening (MP3s), and your vocabulary right away.
In-app access to every story on iPhone, iPad, and Android — tap any word, hear the audio, study without juggling files.
Ten fully updated books in the Japanese Reader Collection, ready to download the moment you buy.
Anki flashcard decks with the vocabulary from the stories — use the free Anki software to lock it in.
Kanji in Focus updated and many books now have stroke order diagrams (we will add this to all of the books soon)
Native-speaker audio for every story, recorded at both slow and natural speed, with QR codes to stream on demand.
Makoto+ Sentence Explorer access for interactive, word-by-word study online or in the app.
