This is a valuable piece of info to me! So maybe it's better to stop searching for vol.2. Two posts, two good answers...too bad I didn't ask before. BTW I've got the vol.3, if you need it... Thanks Roy! oh! This is a valuable piece of info to me! So maybe it’s better to stop searching for vol.2.
Two posts, two good answers…too bad I didn’t ask before.
BTW I’ve got the vol.3, if you need it…
Thanks Roy!

At Maruzen they told me that Vol.2 was now out of print. But I managed to find copies of both at the Yaesu Book Center which nobody hardly goes to these days because you have to climb a lot of stairs to get to the English book section. Anyway, I don't think you will need Vol.2, it is merely the list of all the kanji again with reading and some vocab. There are no additional stories or plots to help you remember. I think you can just use and other kanji book just as well. That's probably why they discontinued this Vol.2 I went to a few bookstores in Tokyo and most of them didn’t have the books.

I like the method, as I guess you cannot apply the same method used in Japanese school for children with foreigner adults (writing 1000 times the same kanji). This does not mean it's perfect or that it works for everyone.

Strange thing is that I can't find them selling it in store here anymore. Also, the publishers have discontinued volume 2! Yeah, saw that on amazon.

Generally the groupings are by radicals from what I've seen so far. One of the reasons why I bought the book was because I already had the cards!

Does it divide into different levels for a step by step learning process? For me, I just pick a few Kanji from the web everyday and look up the pronounciation since I know the writing and meaning already, most of the time. It's not the proper way to learn but it keeps me interested. The stack of Kanji cards look very intimidating. Does it divide into different levels for a step by step learning process?
