If you're looking for more
media to use in your immersion environment for learning Japanese, this is the post for you! The titles listed in the media section of the website are highly recommended, but I felt that they failed to present enough options. So in addition to the media introduction posts, I'll now be featuring the top selling Japanese media, so take
a look and see what strikes your fancy!
ワイド版風の谷のナウシカ7巻セット「トルメキア戦役バージョン」
(Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Wide Version Full 7 Volume Set)
If you're a fan of Studio Ghibli movies, then you've
probably already seen the movie Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. The movie only covers two of the volumes of this manga,
which means there are a whole five volumes of story left that you
haven't seen! This new wide version bundled release contains over
1100 pages and several posters. This is definitely a good collection
to pick up.
Volume 10 of this series
(which has recently received an anime version) was a best-seller in
July, with volume one also making the top 100 list. The story is
about thousands of people who log into a virtual reality MMO video game
and discover that the only way to leave the game is to complete it –
or die trying. Death in the game means death in the real world. The
main character Kirito must clear the 100 floors of the castle Aincrad
in order to win the game. Can he manage it?
Volume six of this series
was on the top selling list. It's a story about a brother and sister
who enter a high school dedicated to the study of magic. The sister
is an all-star student while the brother is a failure. How will they
get along in their adventures at the school?
Volume seven of this light
novel series was in the top 100 for this month. It too has recently
received an anime and manga series. The human population has steeply
declined, with the most prosperous species on the planet becoming
fairies instead. The main character of the series is a UN arbitrator
between the two species. In her words, “I thought my job would not
be a tough one and visited one of the fairies' habitats to say hello
to them but...”
This light novel is about
the main character's attempts to turn a boring, uninteresting girl
into someone that you can really call the heroine of a story.
This series is about high
school student Kodaka, who has no friends. He and other friendless
students form a club to try and make new friends, but things never
really go as they plan. They are constantly doing activities to try
and develop their friend-making skills, but their social shortcomings
only shine brighter for all their effort. Volume 8 of the light novel
series was on the best-seller list, but there's also a manga and
anime adaptation of the series.
This one is similar to the
previous “I Don't Have Many Friends,” in that the main character
is a social outcast who is suddenly placed in a situation to make
friends. The story follows the main character as he tries to adjust
to his potential romantic comedy high school life, but he's
constantly making mistakes. Volume 5 made the best-seller list.
