Kanji Alchemy is a reallocation of Japanese characters with an emphasis on 490 singular characters that provide a meaningful context for learning 2136 General Use (Kanji Alchemy I), 861 Jinmei (Kanji Alchemy II) and 3463 Non General Use kanji (Kanji Alchemy III). The 490 "signature" characters cover in total 6460 kanji that are extensively cross-referenced. There are 10 chapters in total with each chapter headed by an alchemical symbol consisting of seven weeks (70 weeks in total)
Each key or signature character also refers to related Jinmei and to Non General Use kanji because it functions as a chunking device representing any number of characters ranging from 2 to 14.
Knowledge of hiragana and katakana is required. Suitable for false beginners. Kanji Alchemy provides a structured approach for coming to terms with a challenging writing system and will make the road to Japanese literacy a great deal less cumbersome.

The images are beautiful and horrifying
Format: Paperback
My first graphic novel. I am also a history buff. This tells the history of WWI in a simple to understand but no less thorough way. The images are beautiful and horrifying. Even my father (80) loved it. Great way to learn about history. I'll buy more graphic novels dealing with history.

Not bad
Format: Kindle
I've never read anything exactly like this before. It was mostly historical and factual. But to be honest a lot of it I didn't know about before. I know more about world war 2 than I do about world war 1. Anyway it was refreshing and new and I reccommend it.

Well put together.
Format: Kindle
Very much worth purchasing to read for a few hours. Highly recommended. Not a lot of historic graphic novels in Kindle format, and wish there were more.
