Fantastic beginner grammar book
Just a quick review here saying that, like other current reviewers, I really enjoyed using this textbook; it's the first one I recommend to Japanese learners for grammar, since the use of actual, classic manga as examples ends up working so well.
For context, I used this for self-study, and despite there being no in-book exercises or anything like that, I felt like each point was explained well enough and the manga examples used memorable enough to not wish there were extra exercises.
