Your overall theme is great! I love learning Japanese and this was a very fun learner. From a gameplay perspective, it was a bit difficult understanding how to put the words together at certain areas. I recommend a popup tutorial visually showing each way the player can use the words to solve a problem. Since this is an educational game, it is more about learning rather than having mindless fun. Art and sound mix well with your theme! I agree with Altabestudio that adding some sprite animations that don't pertain to the problems in the background would help the world feel more alive while learning :)
