Nani mo Wakaranai - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Name

[SoyYoJoder]

Love this, one Isekai were the MC doesn't inmmediately know how to speak the local language.

I wonder if it'll be a slice of live about a boy learning to live in another world or it will also have adventure.

Of all the languages she could encounter it just had to be Nihongo...

What the other guy said about english being dogshit, plus japanese is pretty simple as long as you ignore kanji. But above all that, you know how japanese is pretty limited with it's syllabic structure and lacking common sounds from other languages? Well, this isekai conlang seems even fucking worse somehow. Limited sounds and also syllable based, with an even smaller syllabary.

I think the root of the issue isn't that the elf is learning japanese specifically, but that the author is channeling his past struggles with english (new sounds and syllables) into her. Or something like that.

this manga remind me of a game I tried before, the premise is the same mc don't have any memory of himself and he only have a girl accompany him. the game basically act as "interpret the world" and you can assign each word you learn bit by bit. its called "7 day to spend with you" or something like that.

Okay, this is really promising. pretty great so far. hope it continues to be a slow exchange of language and culture.
