Summary

On Charlie Tyndale’s family tree Are branches bearing, he discovers, Ancestors of the landed gentryIncluding incestuous lovers;An intrepid adventurer too,With an eye for a collectible,And there’s a murdered musician whoIn life was all too corruptible.Was his killer a spurned lover, orA rival claimant to the estate, Or treasure-seekers settling a score,Or all, in a brutal syndicate?    And through all a Concerto’s movements endure;   To Charlie’s ancestral tale, the overture.

    "Kevin Goes to Japan 2 Stories for Japanese Learners JLPT N5 to N3" is the sequel of my first book as well as Japanese learning materials, "Kevin Goes to Japan 1". This one also comes with 495 sample reading comprehension questions of JLPT from N5 to N3. These questions are from the story, including what each character thinks/feels. You can understand deeply about the story via reading comprehension. For N3 level questions, the last reading comprehensions are more like articles explaining Japanese culture and languages. 
Besides, I used more complex words and expressions than in Kevin 1 as a Japanese light novel. You can enjoy love romance stories weaved by Kevin, Yumiko, Yukio, and Tomoko on Valentine's and White Day that is the original even related to Valentine's Day. Regardless of age, Japanese Valentine's Day is one of the most significant events of the year. Yukio and Kevin are pretty thrilled about whether they can get chocolate from Yumiko and Tomoko or not, but......? I hope you enjoy reading Kevin 2 as a bilingual love romance novel as well!
