Good for learning - but I wish the story was better

This was my first proper book in Japanese! As it is a book, I hoped that it would be a slightly deeper take on the shounen-genre, perhaps fleshing out the characters and story in ways a 12-episode anime couldn't do. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. If you have seen your share of shounen-shows, you have already read this book. The main character is bland and annoying, and the story plays out in just the way you expect.

That said, I still believe this is a good book for beginners like me. As another reviewer already stated, the book reuses words and expressions to a fair extent, giving you natural "spaced repetition" as you read.

If you are looking for a shounen-anime in book form, with simple and helpful language, this might be it!
