I’m having a difficult time dissecting your pick-up line. Could you please explain how “hodo” is used in that context?

For manga, there are also two nice collections from Mangajin, namely Mangajin's Basic Japanese Through Comics, parts 1 and 2. Each chapter gathers together many examples of specific words, concepts, or phrases from a variety of manga. I think they're great, and the explanations are good and self-contained. My colleague in Japan gave me a couple of his old copies of a magazine calleed モーニング , but in general I found it to be pretty inpenetrable. There were just too many uses of slang and colloquialisms. --Mark Rob-san,

It's out of print, but most of the back issues are still available. I've found them to be very helpful. Rob-san,

Beck-san is correct... the ん can be troublesome in romaji. The Hepburn variation that we use does indeed use the apostrophe to differentiate the single sound when it could otherwise be confused. The PDF and learning center have been updated. Thank you again! Briggs-san and Beck-san,
