(it would be like a japanese person reading a native english ghost story in katakana instead of the alphabet). if you've got Rikai-chan, you can use the Line By Line script in the Learning Center and get all the furigana plus definitions　:cool:　:cool:　 marky Michaelさん、

The last two came through like a normal lesson the first could only be accessed through the www browser and saved. These are fun. Next SciFi!
