Hey Everyone, I know that it can be a pain to have to get used to the basic words and stuff that you read in fanfiction. Sometimes, you don't know what they mean and the author (I'm guilty of this too) automatically assumes that the reader knows them. So, I'm putting some basic Japanese words up for you to get an idea of what they're saying. This won't be everything, but it will get bigger as time goes by.
