Learn Japanese Through Manga with the Onomatopoeia Friends

This book features characters inspired by Japanese onomatopoeia, such as “fuwafuwa” and “mochimochi.” Through their profiles and four-panel comics, you can enjoyably learn 100 different Japanese onomatopoeia.
This edition combines the two previously self-published volumes into a single book, with completely updated English translations and newly added Japanese audio.

— from Tanaka

Language reveals how we perceive the world, in what we notice and put a name to. Comparisons of words between languages can also show us what common experiences we share across the world or where our perspectives differ. This book offers a (very cute) introduction to Japanese onomatopoeia, where there seems to be a sound word for everything from emotions to states of being. I hope you find new words to describe your everyday experiences. :)
