Sightseeing series is great

These books are a lot more then you think. The book is jam packed with great information, basically starts off with dialogs of the topic. I love it because it has furigana over the kanji. It then thoroughly goes over the explanation of the dialog and explains relevant kanji that is used in the sentences. There's QR codes to get audio playback if you want to practice your hearing comprehension, in two speeds, slower and normal speeds, which is great. The kanji to me isn't trivial and is perfect for what i was looking for which is more kanji reading practice. Anyways, highly recommended if you're at the level to start reading more kanji.
