Makoto E-Zine Series #98 Recommended for beginner to intermediate learners of Japanese. You can purchase the printed version on Amazon by clicking here. Makoto Japanese Language & Culture Magazine Issue 98 (April 2026) Story-driven reading and listening practice for learners of Japanese Makoto is a monthly digital magazine for beginner to intermediate learners of Japanese. Each issue blends short stories, language lessons, cultural notes, humor, and native-audio recordings — all designed to make Japanese feel natural, usable, and enjoyable. In this issue (April 2026, Issue 98): This month moves from springtime impulse to late-night dread. A beginner story about Clay's first encounter with Japanese crows builds early reading confidence, while an Edo-period folktale about a woman buying 水あめ (mizuame) after dark leads to one of the quietest, most devastating endings in Japanese folklore. In between, Frank gets a convenience store night shift and somehow turns it into an interplanetary incident. Readers: Beginner Reader: からす (Karasu) Clay doesn't know the word for "crow." His neighbor does. What follows involves barking, flapping, and a very patient おばさん. Presented in hiragana-spaced, kanji+furigana, and natural formats for multiple reading passes. Intermediate Reader: 水あめを買う女 (The Mizuame-Buying Woman) A mysterious woman visits a candy shop every night, pays a single coin, and disappears. A classic folktale with guided reading support, full vocabulary and grammar notes, audio, and kanji breakdowns. Frank and the Obaasan: Season 3, Episode 6 コンビニの夜 Frank bows to the automatic door. He eulogizes a meat bun. He demands ID for apple juice. He gets fired. Includes structured Japanese, vocabulary/grammar support, and Japanese-only reading. Language & culture lessons: Grammar Time: ～かどうか (JLPT N5) A beginner-friendly pattern for expressing "whether or not" with natural examples. Onomatopoeia Focus: Laughter わっはっは, どはは, ぎゃはは, あっはっは — four ways to laugh, each with its own personality. Vocabulary: うわの空 A Heian-period phrase for when your mind drifts off. Includes comparison with ぼんやり and ぼーっとする. Etymology: 道草を食う How "eating roadside grass" became "wasting time on the way home." Plus the related idiom 油を売る. Kanji Spotlight: 来 (JLPT N5) Readings, meanings, stroke order, and example words. Prefecture Spotlight: 山梨 Home to half of Mt. Fuji, 40% of Japan's bottled water, and more wineries than you'd expect. Anime Phrase of the Month: アンパンマン "おなかがすいているんだね。ぼくの顔をどうぞ。" He offers his face. Background on anpan and its Meiji-era origins included. Haiku Spotlight: 松尾芭蕉 A springtime haiku about setting off for Kiso on a whim, plus a breakdown of 桜狩り vs. 花見. Jokes, riddles, and wordplay A doctor joke that might make you rethink your next checkup. Katakana practice A matching exercise to keep your katakana sharp.

NOTE: The digital version is found in the digital only Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha bundle.  Have you only recently learned hiragana but need practice? Or perhaps, your hiragana is no problem, but you want to build your hiragana and kanji reading comprehension? This new collection of stories is here to the rescue! Read real Japanese—beginner level but not boring Japanese! You won't find the Japanese version of Dick and Jane, but you will find stories written for adults. Enjoy reading flash fiction, super short essays, and funny stories of common mistakes made by learners of Japanese.Best of all, the only requirement is that you can read hiragana and have a very basic understanding of Japanese. Vocabulary and grammar will be defined and explained.     In this volume: STORY 1 TAIYAKI  STORY 2 MITARASHI DANGO  STORY 3 JAPANESE PANCAKES  STORY 4 JAPANESE DIALECTS STORY 5 COLD MEALS  STORY 6 DISASTER PREPAREDNESS DAY  STORY 7 SPORTS DAY STORY 8 JAPANESE NAMES STORY 9 GENERAL CLEANING STORY 10 MOTIVATION    The format is a little different from our other more advanced readers. The idea is for the reader to read the entire story three times. Each page will have a sentence or two in hiragana (with spaces between words for you to see “words” instead of syllables) at the top and that same content in full Japanese (with furigana—small hiragana over kanji) at the bottom. The middle will have the glossary and grammatical explanations. Lastly, the story is presented in Japanese without furigana. See if you can read it after going through the previous two versions and explanations. If you have just learned hiragana, you may want to listen to the sound file while reading the hiragana section to practice correct pronunciation. If you have studied Japanese a bit longer, you may want to start with the bottom version and take note of the glossary for understanding.The glossary will have the word as it appears in the story, but it will also give the “dictionary” form so you can look the word up further. Having fun while learning a language is a great way to increase motivation. With increased motivation, you are less likely to skip a day's study. A skipped day can quickly become a lost week and then a lost… forever. And so, we hope you will have as much fun reading these stories as we had writing them. This is a physical paperback which will be shipped to you. You'll also receive the digital files for no extra charge immediately after ordering.

Makoto E-Zine Series #96 Recommended for beginner to intermediate learners of Japanese. You can purchase the printed version on Amazon by clicking here. Makoto Japanese Language & Culture Magazine Issue 96 (February 2026) Fun, story-driven reading and listening practice for learners of Japanese Makoto is a monthly digital magazine for beginner to intermediate learners of Japanese. Each issue blends short stories, language lessons, cultural notes, humor, and native-audio recordings—designed to make Japanese feel alive, approachable, and genuinely enjoyable. In this issue (February 2026, Issue 96): This month’s issue brings three very different reading experiences together: a true beginner-friendly story, a continued chapter in Frank and the Obaasan’s increasingly chaotic life in Japan, and a classic Japanese folktale retold with learners in mind. The language range is intentionally wide. Absolute beginners get carefully scaffolded reading practice, while upper-beginner learners get more natural sentence flow, real-world vocabulary, and cultural context that rewards slower, thoughtful reading. Highlights include: Beginner Story: Super"man"A gentle, confidence-building story written entirely for beginners. Presented in multiple formats, including a hiragana-only version with spacing, making it ideal for early reading practice. Frank and the Obaasan: Season 3, Episode 4Frank faces a very human challenge: paperwork. This episode raises the language level slightly while maintaining clear structure, humor, and full study support, including line-by-line breakdowns, translations, and Japanese-only reading. The Magical Listening Hood (聞き耳ずきん)A classic Japanese folktale retold in accessible Japanese, with both Japanese-only and translated versions. Designed to help learners experience traditional storytelling without being overwhelmed by archaic language. Japanese Grammar: あとでA practical grammar feature explaining how あとで is actually used in everyday Japanese, with clear examples and usage patterns. Onomatopoeia Focus: Japanese Laughterにやにや, にやり, くくく, ひひひ, and more. A deeper look at how Japanese expresses laughter, mood, and personality through sound-symbolic words. Kanji Spotlight: 食 (JLPT N5)Meanings, readings, example words, and usage centered on one of the most essential kanji related to eating and daily life. Japanese Saying: 熱をあげるA useful expression meaning to become obsessed or infatuated, with explanation and example usage. Prefecture Spotlight: AichiAn introduction to Aichi Prefecture, including cultural notes and practical vocabulary. Etymology Corner: 一肌脱ぐThe origin and imagery behind this common expression meaning to go out of one’s way to help someone. Anime Phrase of the MonthA real line from a popular anime, carefully unpacked for meaning, nuance, and natural usage. Haiku SpotlightA short seasonal poem with vocabulary, translation, and cultural explanation. Jokes, riddles, and wordplayLight reading that reinforces real Japanese in an approachable way. Includes: 85 pages (Print) 30 MP3 audio files Scan-and-listen QR codes for quick mobile access Integration with Makoto+ Sentence Explorer for interactive reading, audio playback, furigana-on-demand, translations, notes, and vocabulary tracking Perfect for learners who want Japanese that feels human, readable, and fun, without sacrificing clarity or study support.   🔊 Instant Audio Immersion: Scan the QR codes throughout the magazine to hear native recordings on the spot. 🎁 Free Bonus Materials: Sound files, Anki flashcards, and Sentence Explorer integration are all included at no extra cost. ➡️ How to Read: Follow our step-by-step eBook guide if you’re new to digital reading. ❝Makoto is a wonderful magazine that blends language learning with culture, history, and fun.
