■Introduction to the contents of "Junior High English Vocabulary Even Sakura Miko Can Understand"
"Junior High English Vocabulary Even Sakura Miko Can Understand" contains approximately 1,000 English words that junior high students should know. Tailored to Sakura Miko's level, who struggles so much with English that she stumbles even on how to read English words, this reference book is unusual for a junior high school textbook in that all English words and example sentences have katakana phonetic readings. Also, the English example sentences are familiar to fans, such as phrases related to game streaming and distribution activities, making them easier to remember. Furthermore, at the beginning of the book, you can learn related English words with full-color scene illustrations related to Sakura Miko, such as the Cyber Sakura Shrine, live stages, and streaming rooms. It also includes English words related to streaming and fan activities, making it a useful book for interacting with overseas fans.

Elementary school learning content, such as fractions and ratio calculations, contains surprisingly important material, and if this is vague, junior high students will struggle with mathematics. This book, which allows for effortless review from elementary school, will be a helpful guide for junior high students who worry, "It's too late to ask the teacher now."
With fun interactions between Sakura Miko and 35P (Mikopi), you can learn easily through quiz-style problems.

■Introduction to the contents of "Junior High Kanji + Vocabulary Even Sakura Miko Can Understand"
All 700+ example sentences for kanji and four-character idioms are related to Sakura Miko, making it a reference book that fans can also enjoy as a reading material.
In the Kanji section, students will learn to read and write kanji based on themes such as VTuber activities, idol activities, Sakura Miko's daily life, listeners' daily lives, game streaming, and study streams. The kanji selected for study are carefully chosen from those frequently appearing in entrance exams, making them content that junior high students should actually remember.
Also, Sakura Miko has often made fans laugh with various misreadings, such as mistakenly reading "阿鼻叫喚" (abikyōkan - pandemonium) as "あえんびえん" (aenbien - a state of confusion). This book is rich in vocabulary learning, including four-character idioms and idiomatic phrases that are useful not only for junior high students but also in adult conversations. Through conversations between Sakura Miko and 35P (Mikopi), you can learn how to use vocabulary in a fun way.
