50 titles added to Nippon Foundation’s Gakushuu Manga lineup!

Early on, we introduced the Nippon Foundation’s selection of manga that are not only entertaining, but also have educational value.

We are pleased to announce that 50 more titles have been added to the list!

These new selections include:

-Manga dealing with depression

-Manga about the appreciation of manga itself

-Manga about life in prison, drawn from the author’s own experience

-Manga about Fukushima agriculture and the consequences of the nuclear reactor incident.

And many more thought-provoking titles.

As more and more learners are being drawn to Japanese culture, teachers are also incorporating authentic materials.  This is a great chance for readers to learn more about Japanese society and the everyday lives of its people, to go beneath the surface to dig deeper into various issues, and to make connections between Japanese society and their own experiences.
