Peter Says:
This game is unique because it's the only one released by a Japanese company in English, and it's also the only game that lets you choose between Japanese or English voice (the accents on those actresses are so cute). This is perhaps the purest type of "dating-sim" since that's what it is -- a simulation game that asks you to join the school's "dating club" and get to know the girls in the club. If they like you, they'll let you take them out on real dates, and maybe much more. Because of the beautiful Japanese packaging this game comes in, it's highly recommended for collectors. And fully compatible with both Windows XP and Vista 32/64.
This game is available on DVD-ROM in a deluxe large package w/ glossy manual.
Suddenly without
reason, love takes you by surprise. Do you want to have a serious romance?

offer. The Casual Romance Club was formed to offer a relaxed and enjoyable
atmosphere where love and romance can be discovered and explored without fear
or failure or rejection. It is a very special club, and you're invited to
join!
A bold game from
Japanese bishoujo game maker LIBIDO, Casual Romance Club is the first
dating-sim game released in Japan to feature a full English translation. In
addition to being able to pay the game with all text in English or Japanese,
this game offers a first: a choice between English or Japanese voices in the
game, for the ultimate interactive dating experience.
Meet twelve girls
at the clubroom in Starry Sky family restaurant and interact with each, using
the game's chat feature. Make small talk, or get involved with more complex
discussions, and maybe you'll be rewarded with an "instant date."
Manage a detailed notebook containing the profiles of all twelve girls in the
club with you, and collect pictures of the memories you make with each girl.
Enjoy several different activities with the girls as you try to get to know
them better -- much better. Play casually and watch incidental romances grow
into real love in this fresh and new dating game from Japan.
Casual Romance Club
comes with a gorgeous 48 page hardcover users manual that features a wealth of
information on the characters, game world, and more, with many game CG
presented, as well as cultural background on the world the characters live in.
The beautiful game manual adds greatly to your enjoyment of this game.
Due to the size of the
game and graphics, Casual Romance Club is a DVD-ROM. It will work on any
Windows computer running Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista that has a DVD-ROM drive
installed. Also, due to the limitations of the original data, the game retains
a very small mosaic on sexual images. This title is stocked in Japan.
Important note: all
characters in this game, as in all the hentai/bishoujo games we sell, are aged
18 or older.

Manga (comics) is a piece of Japanese culture that the Japanese can proudly boast about, not only because of their fantastic work, but their ability to appeal to a wide variety of audiences. Shonen Ace and Ultra Jump are among the two most popular publications that bring you the latest and greatest adventure stories for hungry readers to consume. J-List is happy to add to their list of publications, Comic Yuri Hime, a delightful publication that caters to the female crowd. Published quarterly, it features around 15 - 20 stories with a central focus on Yuri or female relationships (such as the story "Nana" for example). Stories range from fantasy to modern pieces with romantic nuances to add a light feminine touch to your reading. A great inspirational piece in both illustration and story work that both guys and gals will enjoy, all in a telephone book thick format. Each issue is approximately 300 - 400 pages in length with a mixture of full color and black and white illustrations.

PB890Genki Workbook 1 ~ An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese 1
Number in stock: 6 Weight: 400 g. Price: $24.50 Product type: Study Book
One of the questions we get asked at J-List a lot is, "I want to start learning Japanese, what book do you recommend?" Most textbooks are entirely dry, uninteresting, and cannot follow a student's pace, leaving students frustrated. However, a new series by The Japan Times has recently taken Japanese language for foreigners by storm, and comes highly recommended by anyone who has taken it -- Genki, An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese. The entire course has 23 lessons, guiding the student from the beginning until the student has mastered elementary grammar and can read not only hiragana and katakana but over 300 of the most commonly used kanji as well.
Each lesson has: 1) a dialogue introducing vocabulary and grammar in a situation the student may find familiar; 2) a list of the vocabulary with hiragana, katakana, kanji and English meaning; 3) grammar with full explanations in English; 4) interesting usage notes; 5) several pages of practice questions designed to be fun and interesting incorporating dialogue skills, writing skills, and thinking skills; 6) additional vocabulary. Each lesson also has a complementary lesson in hiragana/katakana/kanji, with reading and writing exercises. The separate workbook has more writing exercises and kanji writing practice. This is simply the recommended textbook for anyone beginning Japanese up to 3rd level in the JLPT.
THIS BOOK: This is the workbook complementing textbook I. Each lesson follows what has been learned in the corresponding lesson in the textbook, with written exercises to test comprehension of grammar and vocabulary (approximately 6-8 pages of material per lesson). A separate kanji section is included, with space to practice writing kanji, and questions to test kanji knowledge with meanings and readings of the kanji. The pages can be torn out to hand in as assignment (the pages are perforated), and there is space at the top for name. A perfect complement to the textbook and an excellent way to practice and test what has been learned. 7" x 10" (18 x 25.5 cm) 136 pages, card cover perfectbound.
