We’re making a manga in really easy Japanese with a pro manga artist, and we’re releasing book 5 for free until April 10th.


Hey everyone, we’re the Crystal Hunters team, and we’re making a manga in really easy Japanese.

You only need to know 87 Japanese words and particles to read the first 100 page book, and we add 20-25 more words to each 100 page book after that to gradually level you up! We also made free guides and a hiragana reader which help you learn to read the whole manga from knowing zero Japanese. The guides, hiragana reader, and book 1 will always be free to read, and book 5 (and books 2-3 too!) are free until April 10th (and books 2\~5 are always free if you have Kindle Unlimited).

There’s also an easy English version ([1](https://www.pixiv.net/artworks/78232226), [2](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HM73JK4/), [3](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZSK7JV9), & [5](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X41SPNH)) you can use for translation. Just like the easy Japanese version, book 1 and the kanji guides for these will always be free to read, and book 5 (& 2-3!) are free until April 10th.

Crystal Hunters is made by a team of 3 teachers in Japan and a pro manga artist. Please let us know what you think about our manga!

Note: If you are not in the US, and are having a hard time accessing the free version of books 5, 3, & 2, please try typing “Crystal Hunters” in your country’s Amazon page.

  1. I found out about Crystal Hunters just a couple of days ago. Just finished book 3, and man did I not expect anything this graphic in a manga aimed at beginners! You would think that revealing all the vocab for each chapter would spoil it a little, but it’s not the case somehow. I wonder if the main story would get as dark as that flashback.

    Anyway, you guys are amazing, and I’m definitely buying the fifth book as soon as it comes out.

    EDIT: just realized it is already out and is free for now

  2. Just found out about this project.
    I think it’s a great idea to have both natural and basic Japanese versions available. Thank you for your work.
