I now know all the Japanese vowels.
I look forward to more if it gets expanded on, on both the learning side and story side.
Was not expecting a Touhou game about basketball and Chaos Dunks to also involve teaching Japanese Kana, but here we are. Very polished and informative, and legitimately a very pleasant surprise.
I can't judge it as an educational tool since I already know hiragana (therefore no point to the exercises in my case) but the story itself was rather hilarious and unexpected - even after reading the draft on paper beforehand.
The sprites are cute and the whole thing managed to have some consistency at the end but not quite enough to "feel" polished, which is something more people should aim for when time constrained.
I'm hopeful that the final product will be as ABAP as possible. This is a good start.

Incredible concept that I could never have conceived in my wildest dreams.
I liked the music a lot, felt like it fit the parts where it was present.
If you'll excuse me, I have a notebook to fill out now...
Charles Barkley is real and he told me to learn Japanese.
