From the Author:

A New Way to Successfully Learn Japanese
This book introduces 13 effective and enjoyable new techniques to speak, memorize and think in Japanese. '13 Secrets' has been designed for students who want a book that has more variety and more character - and provides more dramatic results - than a bland, orthodox textbook can provide. A kind of 'anti-textbook' 13 Secrets uses mini graphic novels, charts, manga, and quizzes to teach DIFFICULT Japanese (hypothetical forms, big numbers), PLAYFUL Japanese (jokes and puns, wordgames), SLANG Japanese (prefixes & suffixes, abbreviations), Japanese THOUGHT-PROCESSES (generating synonyms, explanatory phrases) and RISQUE Japanese (the language of love). Every chapter guarantees a sudden and dramatic improvement in your powers of expression, but best of all, the book will show you how to enjoy learning the language.
