I think it's an amazing idea and very well executed. You obviously have to put time into doing exercises, as with any lenguage, repetition is key. I tried first the demo, and then bought the game. No adds or any of that nonsense. So far very happy with my choice and recommending it to anyone I know. An advice, use "Hohoho" as your caracter name for more immersion :)

beautiful graphics, easy short lessons. Forgot to add, I also love the music and side stories. When I get bored I talk to the cute animated animals that respond with their japanese translated text. I love going up to the cats and hearing them say Nya~. ❤️❤️🐈🎶
