Haruhi & Nagato Teach English Grammar in New Guide
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Chukei, a Kadokawa Group Publishing company, revealed advertising for its new book that teaches English grammar with Nagaru Tanigawa's Haruhi Suzumiya science-fiction comedy light novel characters. In Suzumiya Haruhi no Shōshitsu de Eibunhō ga Omoshiroi Hodo Mi ni Tsuku Hon, Yoyogi Seminar teacher Kensaku Harada uses actual text from The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya novel and its translation to help students master English grammar. Original illustrator Noizi Ito drew new art of the character Nagato with eyeglasses for both the book's cover and the poster bundled with the book.
Chukei previously published a two-volume set of English vocabulary guides in 2011. The publisher even offers audio file downloads for listening practice.
Chukei also published books that teach chemistry with Lucky Star characters, a Physics guide featuring the My Ordinary Life anime cast, and a world history book that teaches with the help of Puella Magi Madoka Magica's lead voice actress Aoi Yūki.
The new book will retail for 1,365 yen (about US$15) in mid-April.
