Learning Kanji systematically through vocabulary
If you are already satisfied with RTK, WaniKani, KanjiDamage or KKLC, then you may not require this book. However, it can be beneficial as a reference once you have completed any of those as it contains unusual readings and tests of application. But if you are obligated or willing to study Kanji traditionally using a comprehensive text, then you definitely need this book.
The Japan Times has taken utmost care in selecting words that are more important to know. The workbooks consist of sentences for every keyword that show how the words are used, hence the name context.
Similar to A Dictionary of Basic/Intermediate/Advanced Japanese Grammar from the same publisher, this book is of exceptionally high quality. A lot of effort has been put into the presentation and organization of the material, and it pays off for the reader. I have come across many low-quality books that look similar but are not. This book and its companion workbooks are worth taking seriously, but keep in mind to look for the Revised Edition, not the original one.
