Kana de Manga Special Edition: Japanese Sound FX! (Kanji de Manga)

This book has a good amount of useful selections of Japanese sound effect written in both hiragana and katakana and brief description on how they are used. If you're looking into making mangas, this booklet is pretty handy to have on your drawing desk and small enough to carry around in your pack.The only flaw I would give this book is its lack of alternative selections for the one's they already have. Yet it's still good enough as a starter kit.

I love that it includes the Hiragana and Katakana. Gives you example words with the letter, sample sounds and instructions on writing. I love the little facts and interesting snippets they give you with every one. Fun.

Like the simple way it shows the language, I think good for anyone with some more than basic schooling

I've looked everywhere for this book. It's the kanji, japanese definition and wording for every kind of everyday sound effect your could think of.

Really helpful for anyone learning Japanese who wants to read Manga at some point or for someone who wants to better understand any kind of Japanese media. When you think of english sound effects you might think of "ruff" for a dog barking or "meow" for a cat or "bang" for a gun shot. This book gives you the Japanese versions of all kinds of sound effects with examples of how they might appear in Manga form. This was extremely helpful for trying to read actual Manga because the Japanese version of sound effects are quite different than their english counterparts. I'd highly recommend this book.

I was looking for the Japanese translations for sound FX so I could use them in my manga. This book definitely was what I was looking for, but I wish it had more....didn't seem like quite enough :)

*This review is on the kindle version*I should have heeded the warnings, but the sample worked great so I bought it anyway. The book displayed nothing but broken image icons for EVERY PAGE. (See attached example taken on my phone in the kindle app.)The only place I could get the book to display was (as others had said) on the PC cloudreader.The content is good enough I will probably buy it in print, but I can’t say I’m not disappointed I had to request a refund. I hope they fix this but I’m not holding my breath seeing as the problem has been around for more than a year.

I just got this and already love it, have the basic Kana de manga book but was still finding issues learning the basics I think this book will solve that issue.It's also fun which is important for some while learning.I would have liked a book version too but seems hard to find one not in US (can't be bothered waiting that long).Will be useful as its on my phone so will always have with me.Overall I'd recommend.

Starting to draw my own manga so this really helps with sound effects! Doesn't have every sound but has good selection for the price

The book was for a friend who can speak Japanese but cant write it. He says it is fun and a simple introduction.
