Story2.5 out of 5 stars 2
The Japanese progressed throughout the eras because of the emperor, but they also progressed despite him. These are people who never let go of their sacred history, and their story is told and retold in art, film, literature, and even graphic novels across the entire world. Terms such as shoguns, samurai, haiku, anime, and manga are familiar to many in the Western world today. Westerners also learn flower arranging, martial arts, meditation, and enjoy a variety of visual and digital art forms because of the unique culture of Japan.

Reader was monotone and coughed near end of 4th chapter on tape, seems to be poorly edited. Now, not saying you're not allowed to cough, but if you're going to put something out and take monetary compensation for it, shouldn't you at least make the effort to clean it up and make it somewhat professional?
