Bilingual Comics Saigo Takamori And The Seinan War As Seen By A Foreigner (Kodansha Bilingual Comics)
Categories：Bilingual Comics
This book focuses on the later years of Takamori Saigo, who is attracting attention from the NHK Taiga drama "Saigo-don.'' The life of the "last samurai'' is fully depicted. An Englishman living in Kumamoto wrote the original manga based on detailed research and historical facts. I put the lines written in English in speech bubbles and the Japanese translation in the margin. This is a unique book that allows you to learn history and English at the same time, and is perfect for reviewing Japan from the end of the Edo period to the early Meiji period.
