Out of all my attempts to blindly jump in and try to learn Japanese this has to be the best one yet, but it isn't perfect and I feel that once a letter is introduced and has its dungeon it gets discarded until near the end of the game, meaning a lot of lessons aren't reinforced.

Also the RPG aspect can get tough even if you fight most battles, I feel the enemies should do less damage. I do like when the game mixes things up with things like the alternate dimensions and everything in the finale but I wish it did things like that more. Also enemy placement vs selecting them on the menu isn't the most natural thing.

The story is who cares but I don't think the game particularly cares about it either since its focus is on teaching ひらがな which I certainly know a lot more now than I did going into the game, so in my eyes it's accomplished what it sets out to do!

But I want to keep going
