@@-bubuliintothebeyond-6158 thanks for showing me a good spot to buy Japanese manga. I just started learning Japanese and I was looking for a spot that sold some. I’ll definitely pick some up, lets hope I learn Japanese quick so I’m able to read them lol
@@-bubuliintothebeyond-6158 How long did it take you to be able to read Japanese at a decent level? just wondering because I want to know how long it realistically takes to be able to read, lets say a shonen manga
@@pazzwerdz9165 I’m still not perfect by any means, but a lot of shonen manga has furigana which is how to read kanji. If I’m reading a book like that, I’d say maybe 2 years? If it’s mostly kanji, I have to look up a lot of words so I can’t read those without help yet. 😭 once you can read hiragana and katakana, a lot of it is memorizing vocab!
Viz Media announced they licensed After God, so maybe I'll pick it up when it comes out. And the cover is very pretty! My Japanese is barely good enough to get me through Chi's Sweet Home in Japanese, but hopefully one day I'll be able to read all these more complicated manga in Japanese. Are there any of the manga you showed you think would be not too hard for beginner, that are not children's manga?
Really?! That’s awesome! I finally started reading more of After God and am really enjoying it a lot! Hmm i think Shojo is pretty easy to read (for example, Horimiya or In the Clear Moonlit Dusk) cuz the Japanese is daily standard with no complicated magical or military style words. If your not into shojo I thought Tokyo Revengers in Japanese wasn’t that hard to read along with Noragami or Spy X Family!
Wow its so refreshing to see japanese version of the mangas! I’m a baby collector and have started collecting multiple series in english prints. But i’m thinking of collecting the japanese versions of a couple series, named cardcaptor sakura, gintama and a sign of affection so far~ 🤭
Nice really respect the all Japanese Manga collection. its always cool to see different the spines & covers look compared to the English Japanese Manga ^w^
So here's a video concept I can't seem to find anywhere that is specific to moving to Japan to be an ALT. "How to deal with the first time ALT nerves | Moving to Japan"
Yea I’m a kiwi in New Zealand. Love your videos. I’ve applied for the JET Programme. Hoping to get interview this January. I currently work two jobs one as a first aid instructor (20hours a week) and one at a Hospital (20hours a week). I really like the idea to go teach English in Japan. I originally had job offers from Borderlink as an ALT but turn them down because the pay was too low, (some months you didn’t get paid either). It would be awesome if you could do a video liked talkingabout the yearly 1 year contract renewals. Not many people talk about this. This is why I’m also very hesitant to apply for teaching English jobs (in general). Your contract may not be renewed but you still have rent to pay. In New Zealand both my jobs are guaranteed. Anyways awesome videos. Keep it up/
Do you have any plans what you will do after your JET programme ends? I'm thinking about it and I would like to become a 3D artist in Japan after I finish JET (assuming I get in lol), but I got no idea if I would need to then change my visa to a highly skilled professional or not, and if so would I even qualify for it. So many questions, life is sure gonna get exciting soon haha, I just graduated from masters soI'm finally free, time to start living, first stop Japan :)
That’s so great good for you! I’m still figuring that out tbh, but I’m think I’m gonna go back to school in the states to get my masters 😂 from there not sure. But if you do get a job here in that field I’m sure the company would be able to fix your visa to what it needs to be! Companies here seem to be pretty good about that stuff so I hope you don’t need to worry! Good luck! 👍🥰
I've only recently found your channel, but I've watched all of your vlogs and I love the overall feel of your videos. I think I'd like to try out the JET program or something similar after college maybe. You really inspire me to follow my dreams someday 😊. Japanese festivals sound really cool. I've never been to one (well, I've never actually been to Japan either) but I'd really like to go to one someday. Thank you for the hard work you put into making videos. I'd love to see more! ✨️🌸
Wow you literally just made my day! So happy you like them! 😭💕 yes! The JET program is a wonderful experience! I highly recommend it! Good luck with everything! I’ll do my best in upcoming videos! 🥺👍
That weird corner window by the vanity is interesting. So much storage space though. I use a space heater too because heating my whole apartment is a waste of money when I'm just sleeping in my room. So I know the aiming the tiny space heater just right scenario. I actually have mine elevated on top of something so the heat blows more directly my way.
Same here :D it's a bit too late for me to apply for this year since I don't have any money saved up, but for next year I will sure be ready! Let's hope we get in :D
@@-bubuliintothebeyond-6158 Thanks, that's really nice, but I did a little research and it turns out my country doesn't do JET at this time. The last time they did was in 2018 according to the website of the japanese embassy in my country. Maybe they will do again in the future again and maybe then I will apply, better late than never.
@@magnaesca165 Yeah! I think it would still be a good idea to apply if you can! There are also other teaching opputunites through other companies in Japan if you want to work here! :)

Such an impressive space you have! I hope I can get this lucky when I join this program in a few years! And if you feel like you need it, I highly recommend buying a heated blanket for those cold winter months ☺️ I live in Canada and buying one has been a life saver! Also I love all your merch 💕
I'm a new subscriber, and I enjoyed your video :) I plan to move to Japan in the future, but teaching English as a job is not my thing. I wonder what job I could do..
I recommend checking sites like Gajinpot.com! There’s a lot of job listings there for jobs besides teaching too! Good luck! Thanks for subscribing! 🙌☺️
Hello! I’ve actually been placed in Aomori city as well! I’m so looking forward to meeting everyone! Do most of the JETs in the area live in similar conditions, or is it still ESID? I hope you’re having a wonderful summer!
That’s so awesome! We’re so excited to meet you here! 🥰 it won’t be exactly the same but I think the size and the basics of what you get in your apartment are the same! ☺️👍 looking forward to meeting you soon! 🥰
We're moving to Japan soon too! We should be in Osaka by the start of fall. I've been trying to document here on RU-vid, but the transition process is keeping us so busy. I don't know how you do it!
Once I started teaching I haven’t haven’t been able to update much since then but it’s defiantly difficult to find time to film and edit. 😭 good luck on your journey! I’m sure it will be great! ☺️👍
"this is my little closet, well, not little" I am pretty sure I slept in a room about the size of that closet when I lived in Japan lol. Excellent video so far though!
This is the first ALT video I’ve watched since receiving my shortlist letter!! I love the humour in the video, and seeing the whole apartment really sets the reality in that I may be in a situation like yours soon enough!! It’s nerve wracking and exciting but your video has helped me feel a lot better about this adventure and what the future may hold
Really nice apartment. I’m currently attending college and have my eyes set on the JET program and moving to Japan when I graduate. Any chance you could do a video about the process of joining JET and possibly a Day in the Life of an ALT?
