Listen to the Rain

Oh, thank you! I'll remember that if it ever becomes necessary--I'm using a free VPN right now and it's never a given that it'll keep being available, even if it is an education project. At the moment, the free service works for me because I only use it for a few minutes at a time (log in, buy, download, log out).

I really want to read manga in Japanese for two reasons: one is that it has pictures, so it's an aid to understanding, and the second is that if I do something I already find fun, it's easier to use it to study. My Japanese ability before and after I started playing video games in Japanese is a testament to that.
