You’re stranded in Tokyo. Not enough cash for a hotel. Where do you stay? Two Japanese businessmen decide to stay at a manga kissa, a manga cafe. Similar to an internet cafe, but you can Japanese anime, manga, magazines and even massage chairs! Gomi-san recommends Nana and “Nekomura-san”, two famous Japanese manga. We’ll review our Japanese grammatical expressions using the -masu stem + yasui, -masu stem + nikui, -masu stem + sugiru.

Do you feel overworked? Think you might be working yourself to death? In Japan, people really do, quite literally, work themselves to death (karōshi). In this lesson, we talk about the contributing factors in Japanese society that cause karōshi. It may seem unimaginable, but it’s a serious reality of the Japanese lifestyle. If you’re studying for JLPT1 or JLPT2, you’ll need to know how to use naninani wo ii koto ni… suru, which is used to describe “taking advantage of a situation by underhanded means.” Also we’ll take a look at words useful for describing statistical relationships. These are must-know phrases if you plan to do business in Japanese (and subsequently work yourself to death, lol).
