Just translated into English for the 1st time, this novel is written by the award winning Japanese author Kanako Nishi. While the author has been translated into other languages, this is a first for her.

E-book page from the Japanese novel, アルスラーン戦記. Several military vocabulary terms are highlighted.

Apparently it’s the year to read more challenging books in Japanese. Even while reading with the audiobook, my brain was working hard last night 😂

Home page of the Kobo Libra Colour 2 e-reader displaying digital covers of Japanese books.

Digital book page of 鹿の王 on the Kobo Libra Colour. A word is highlighted on the page and a handwritten comment reads, Cool Beans, followed by a smiley face.

Trying out the Kobo! I plan to write a post to review it, specially for Japanese learners who may be considering switching over from the other popular reader. There are some pros and cons that may differ depending on what you want out of it. #kobo #japanesenovels

A page from the novel We’ll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida. The highlighted text reads “Cats truly were therapeutic.”

We’ll Prescribe You a Cat is officially one of my favorite books, alongside The Travelling Cat Chronicles!
