(spoilers ahead) they should honestly remake the entire rurouni kenshin anime, only this time they should follow the manga. i was so angry when they didn’t include the jinchu arc. kenshins past with tomoe and his entire fight with enishi is very important! not to mention his ending with kaoru.
manga: Rurouni Kenshin

Due to the long school closures in Japan, the publisher of the famous kid’s educational manga 日本の歴史(nihon no rekishi, History of Japan) has made all 24 volumes available to read for free online until August 31st, 2020!
Check out the manga for free via this link! You can also read the press release here.
Nihon no rekishi is essentially set of history books - they introduce children to Japanese history from past to present. The books are aimed at children - so plenty of easy-to-understand scenarios and furigana abound!
Be sure to check out a few volumes before they’re all gone!

What is Comic Walker?
Comic Walker is an online website that gives you the chance to read a wide variety of Manga extracts in the original Japanese, English and Chinese. Not all manga are translated equally between all three languages, but there is more than enough to keep you going for months, and the Japanese collection grows daily. Current manga include Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gundam, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, among others…!
How can Comic Walker help me learn Japanese?
Comic Walker has a huge selection of mangas in Japanese for you to browse and read for free. The whole series is not usually all available at once, so you’ll have to keep an eye on the website calendar or just jump in and read snippets.
You can set up notifications for the next time a chapter is available for the manga you are reading, as well as recommendations and personal lists. The web version is just as good and offers all the same features, but I personally prefer to read on the go.
Using ComicWalker as a resource
Not all mangas are available in both English and Japanese, so you may have some trouble checking your understanding. If you want to cross-check, you’ll have to search for both versions before you start. Here is an example below of a Sword Art Online chapter available in both languages.
Also, ComicWalker was not produced for the sole purpose of language learning, so there are no dictionaries or Kanji look-up options. However, if you want something that is free (compared to international manga shipping prices..!) then this is fantastic.
This is probably not the best app for beginners but is a great resource for intermediate-advanced learners who want some additional reading practice.
Visit the Comic Walker website HERE or download the App on iPhone or Android.
