Ebikani, Beyond Warakani

Vocab Deck | Created by hx9 | 154 Vocab Items | <10

These words contain Kanji that appear in Bunpro N5 to N1 vocab decks, but not in the Warakani deck. They're here even if they are "usually kana" and would never show up on a JLPT test. They appear in no particular order. Kanji which appeared in Warakani but in Bunpro with different readings were not added. I intend to update N1 (target: March) at some point. If feedback is positive, I might add additional sections for things like Core 2000, top anime vocab and other stuff. Kanji only, of course.
