Press reviews: “A Must-Play for Beginners Learning Hiragana” Yokoso Otaku on Youtube “Honestly, I struggled so much to learn the Hiragana and I'd been doing duolingo for a long time. Getting it gamified was life changing. Recommended it to everyone in my N5 class xD” NaoriMizuki on Twitch “I really enjoyed Hiragana Hero. I know I got frustrated at one point, but in the end, it was a fantastic way to learn or master hiragana.” Greenslade Gaming on Youtube
