This book contains the 80 kanji required for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 4 (the lowest.) It is NOT meant to teach Japanese. The manga are there to help you understand the use of each Kanji in NORMAL usage.
Only get these books when you have completed a beginners level course. The kana are meant to run continuously, as that's how the Japanese use them (they rarely break kana into separate words and have little punctuation.) Each book is self-contained and covers the kanji required for each level of the JLPT (IE, vol 1 covers level 4, Vol 2 adds the next 80 required for level 3, etc..). The tests comprise a series of multiple choice questions. Each question requires either a knowledge of particles or kana to kanji transcription (or the reverse). There is NO romanji (what I'm using here), just Kana and Kanji.
If you're thinking of seeking employment in japan, you really need JLPT level 3 or higher, as these qualifications are actually recognised (and run) by the Japanese themselves.
If you just want to translate kanji, then buy a kanji dictionary (Kodansha do several). If you want to pass the JLPT then buy these (AND a dictionary^_^)
