1. Hi I made a manual approval request but I think I did it wrong and should’ve posted here: Hi, I’ve been trying to learn Japanese again (I’m half Japanese-half American) trying to relearn my native language. I have over 150 (probably closer to 200 Japanese books from when I was a child to one’s my parents would read in their free time. I’m going to put it to use but afterwards what should I do? I don’t know because I feel like donating them would lead to most being out in the trash (as Japanese children books are not really popular in my area). I don’t really want to sell them but eventually I’m either going to have to find a new home or get rid of them. Do you have any suggestions on finding a new home after I’m done reading all of them?
   Edit: Counted and closer to 250, some are preschool to some that are about historical characters or college grade material.

2. In Japan for one more day and hoping to start reading books soon – does anyone have recs on what to pick up as a beginner? I’m like halfway through Genki 1, WaniKani level 7 and have a good 500 Anki vocab cards under my belt.

   Already picked up all of dragonball, 第一のよつばと, and the junior (furigana) version of 君の名は。ありがとうございます！

3. Irodori is designed for foreigners living in Japan. Is it less useful than genki for people like me who are just learning for fun?

   I have difficulty making sense of 緻密かつ大胆、可愛らしさと迫力の同居する作画. Does it mean 緻密、大胆、可愛らしさと迫力が同居する作画? The subject for 同居する is 緻密と大胆と可愛らしさと迫力, right?

   What does 煽り mean here? Encouragement?
