Today's lesson:
First, and foremost, I'd like to apologise for the relatively lack of activity. This is because I am only just beginning to get back into routine with high school starting back up, and all. Today's lesson will be focused on vocabulary you may find in a Japanese RPG ( Role playing game, for those of you not video game savvy) ! However, it's usefulness will be essential in any situation (specifically in a fictional / fantasy setting ; ) ). Let's move on!
Kana of the day time!:
