even if you do learn all the 1945 kanji, chances are you won't be using all of them anyway, just learn the common ones

ds kakitori-kun is your friend, look it up on j-list

This. Just learn what you need, no more no less.

try karaoke too. you'd be surprised how well you remember kanji when you're forced to have it come out of you mouth within a matter of seconds.

>>577044
How do I know what I need? And should I learn all readings?

>>577030
if you learn 1985 you will get nuked.

You could try doing both. Cram 4-5 kanji every day and then read stuff with furigana.

>>577055
we dont know what you need
read whatever you want

>>577031
I was contemplating "LEARN KANJI ON DS" but I thought that sort of thing is only aimed at someone who actually knows the basic of Japanese?

>>577102
I know the basics, know all kana and speak a little.

Watashi no kuruma!

Most, いf not all of the titles on DS will not teach you the meaning of the kanji though. They're just for practicing the readings and the stroke order.

what would be a easy to read manga in japanese?

if we knew the answer to that, scanslation groups would be dead.

>>577235
Beck. Short convos, no supernatural stuff,and it has furigana.

let me rephrase it then.do you know a manga targeted for kids (13<)in japanese?

if you want to learn kanji, you must study it

you will never get a good grasp of kanji from reading if you skip writing. It's essential for recognizing the kanji in depth so you don't get stuff like 猫/描 confused, and many many more.

I've seen porn with full furigana.

I'd go with that.

>>577235
yotsuba!

very easy read, has the hiragana above almost all the kanji as well.

I have been reading zero no tsukaima with wakan.it works but it is hard

>>1945 kanji
>>you won't be using all of them
Haha, good one.
If you seriously want to be literate 1945 is far from enough.

>>577235
yotsuba!

full furigana, nothing to complex

>>577291
It depends on what you want to read.

Most people on /jp/ probably don't intend to read serious literature.

>>577235
IIRC, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei had full furigana.

>>577270
Yes I do. SHOUNEN heard of it you fucking faggot?

>>577291
we're not talking about whether he wants to be literate or not, we're talking about whether he's even gonna use half of it

First: If you really want to get literate in Japanese don't go with this "I only do so much because that's fine" bullshit. If you mean it, get serious. And that means even the Joyo Kanji are not enough, aim higher.

I'm a firm believer of learning to write the actual Kanji, nur just "might be able to read them, because i saw them with furigana" Since being able to write implies being able to read them, go for that.

There are tons of methods for studying Kanji, most of them get shitstormed by someone on the internet. Why? Because everyone learns different, and with Kanji there's nothing to grasp or understand, it's just simple pounding the whole shit into your head.

Also I won't recommend reading childrens mangas, novels, whatever. If you want my advice: Read what you're interested in. That way you'll make progress way faster and you won't lose your motivation as fast, hopefully never.

>>577291
I agree with him, 1945 is not enough, expect to know at least 2200

俺 is not in the 1945, nor is 誰, of course everyone already knows those, but there's far more of kanji outside of the list you must learn.

it was only a matter of time until the japanese elitists showed up

>>577331

I couldn't get them without context.

>>577336

I extracted the script of a visual novel and am using kanji frequencies in it to choose which one learn next.

殺人の理

>>577361
How many different kanji are in the whole script?
Since it's a porn game probably not that many (well under 2000 I guess), but it would be interesting to know.

I bought the Haruhi Light Novels with the goal in mind that I wanted to be able to read them completely. Still working on that though. But then again, that wasn't so long ago.

I hope you didn't buy anything on paper.it would be a pain in the arse to look for words or kanji

Anyone know where I can get japanese e-books?

>>577458

If you mean me from >>577424

Yes I did buy them "on paper". How else? And it isn't that bad. I know most of them anyway.

Oh yeah. Manga adaptation of Haruhi has furigana too.

I've been wondering which kanji you'd end up with if you did a quick compilation of the 100 most common kanji in hentai comics.

Would be an irreplaceable source of knowledge.

>>578036
For the sex? Not very many.

It wouldn't even be that useful since they're easy to pick up by simply reading them over and over.

>>577884
>>577791
How many of those appear less than ~5-10 times?

>>578110
>How many of those appear less than ~5-10 times?

5 times or less: 700 unique kanji.
10 times or less: 900 unique kanji.

学中文吧！

>>578353
That means you could actually get away with only really knowing 1000 kanji.
Not bad.

since we're heading in that direction:

most common 1000 kanji: 95% usage
most common 500 kanji: 80% usage

is what they say...
