This novel won the Naoki Prize in 2005, the highest honor in Japan. It revolves around Sayoko, a 35-year-old housewife with a three-year-old child, an indifferent husband, and a sharp-tongued mother-in-law. After a five-year absence from the workforce, she decides to re-enter the job market and meets her boss, who graduated from the same university and is of the same age. Initially, the differences between the two women seem stark, but as the story unfolds, significant similarities are revealed, particularly in their social withdrawal and shared past of being ridiculed in school.

Japanese difficult? Study boring? No way! Not with this “real manga , real Japanese” approach to learning. Presenting all spoken Japanese as a variation of three basic sentence types, Japanese the Manga Way shows how to build complex constructions step by step. Every grammar point is illustrated by an actual manga published in Japan to show how the language is used in real life, an approach that is entertaining and memorable. As an introduction, as a jump-start for struggling students, or (with its index) as a reference and review for veterans, Japanese the Manga Way is perfect for all learners at all levels. Wayne P. Lammers has taught Japanese at the college level and is an award-winning literary and commercial translator. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
