ハリー・ポッターと賢者の石: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone ハリー・ポッタ (Harry Potter) (Japanese Edition)

Ii desu ne

Got this for my husband for his birthday because he is working hard on learning Japanese with me and gave him something to work towards

Great for people who are learning Japanese (I’d say JLPT3-ish level and up). I love the font and the furigana. I’m working on making an ANKI flash card set for it.

This book is gorgeous! I am so excited to add it to my Japanese book collection. It is written in traditional Japanese style with furigana next to kanji for a little help if you haven’t learned all the kanji yet. Highly recommend!

Purchased for a harry potter fan learning Japanese. The cover has taken somewhat of a beating, but the pages inside where near pristine.

I collect different versions/ covers of the first Harry Potter book, so seeing this one (even though I cannot read Japanese) I had to have it. The quality of this book is amazing. I tried to include as many pictures as possible. It does come with a little white slip cover near the very bottom of the book that is removable. There are some annoying stickers on the back (our front) of the book but I am not going to risk ruining the slip cover taking those off. Removing both slip covers, the book is white- nothing too special there. In the middle of the book there are some pages not attached to the book-- a nice edition to the book itself. And I absolutely love the chapter art I think it's so unique and different.

Before I start, I want to note that this review is for the Japanese edition of the Philosopher's stone. The story is as amazing as the English edition, and the translation is very faithful to the original (without reading awkwardly in Japanese) which is very nice. Overall, the translation is great and leaves nothing out from the English edition. The binding is great as well, paper is of very good quality (slightly transparent, which was expected; paper is very sturdy). Chapter illustrations may seem simplistic at first glance, but I found them to be charming. Furigana is included with most kanji, however there are a few kanji which do not feature furigana. The only problems I had with furigana is that it is slightly inconsistent; some 2nd grade kanji featuring furigana with some 4th grade kanji not. However, considering the target audience, it's not that big of a deal. Overall a really great book for new fans of the series or anyone reliving childhood memories.

Excellent book condition, arrived on time.

Geweldig, ik heb lang gezocht naar een papieren versie van dit boek, ik heb het al als ebook. Het fijne is dat er boven de Kanji, furigana is geschreven zodat je weet hoe de kanji hoort te klinken. Dit scheelt ook een stuk in het opzoeken van woorden die je niet kent. Je leest het boek zoals je een Japans boek hoort te lezen, van rechts naar links. Het script lees je van boven naar beneden.

Article reçu en peu de temps, emballé parfaitement et qui a fait un super cadeau de Noël !

I bought this for studying. It's probably best not to convert the Yen price on the back to your native currency if you don't want to feel ripped off, but Japanese material is hard to come by in the UK... The print is high quality and the sleeve protects the book nicely. I would recommend an English copy (which you probably already have, let's face it) to aid in your studies if that's why you're buying. 本当にありがとうございます！

La compra fue digital, se ve bien :3

本も昔読み、映画も何回も見ましたが、電子版で読み直しのために購入しました。展開を知っていてもやっぱりワクワクしますよね。映画もいいですが、活字で読むのも大変面白いです。
