    Funny, but BEWARE!! 40% Non-Functional!

    This is a really funny book, but not the most useful (obviously you probably don't want to use all the x-rated lanugage in common practice)!
    But the reason I add in "beware" is because as a Japanese-as-a-second-language student, sometimes it's hard to tell what crosses the line between being friendly and being rude. The translations don't make that evident. I
    I would suggest that serious Japanese language students buy it, but maybe go through it with a native speaker to find the words normally used. Also, some of the words are pretty dated already. It's like speaking 80's slang!
    If you have native Japanese friends, it makes a great conversation starter, just bring it out and the laughing starts!

    Freaking Hilarious

    I bought this book around a year ago, and absolutely loved it. This is the book for you if you want to understand anime slang, or tell someone off without them knowing you just called them a you-know-what, hehe.
