It was called 世界でいちばん透きとおった物語 by Hikaru Sugi, but I don’t think there’s an English translation because this kind of gimmick works a lot better in scripts where all characters are the same size, and a translation that ends up with a comparable arrangement of those letters would be a major pain too.
Fuck yeah, I can already reliably recognise like ⅓ of the hiragana set…if there’s a multiple choice pick.
I’m taking a course, but if you want to just self study kanadojo.com is pretty good, and if you get anki there’s a load of free resources to practice listening and reading. Anki is free on android and pc, but costs a bit on iOS. Ankiweb.net
