    Why is Demon Slayer loved in Japan? Have you heard of a manga called “Demon Slayer” or “Kimetsu no yaiba” in Japanese? It is an action adventure manga about “Demon” which kills people and “Kisatsu-tai” which fight against them. The manga artist, Koyoharu Gotoge is an up-and-coming who made a debut with it in 2016. This manga has been coming up a lot in Japan. According to the comic ranking in 2019, its circulation is over 12 million copies and ranked the 1st exceeding “One peace” which circulation is 10 million copies. “One peace” is one of the most popular manga around the world and it won the 1st in the ranking for over 10 years until “Demon Slayer” beat it. The sales increased rapidly since it started to broadcast anime on TV in April 2019. The number of issues was about 4 million before the broadcasting in May but it was over 12 million just before the end of anime in September 2019. One of the main reasons for this hit is to be turned into anime. It is known that to broadcast anime helps to raise the sales of the manga which was seen about “Attack of Titan”. “Demon Slayer” was not succeeded at first because a lot of the main characters died in the story and the picture was supported by not everyone. TV anime changed this impression by making the story simpler and making the picture very vibrant and lively. In the fall in 2020, the movie will begin in Japan.

    <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">引っ越しています</s>
    引っ越しています sounds like I'm moving right now. It sounds more natural if you say 引っ越します.

    土曜日に引っ越します。
    私の<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">仕事</s>はコロナウイルスのために<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">閉まりましたから、</s>私のお母さんの家に引っ越します。
    でも、悲しくないです。この状況は良くなると思います。

    私の職場はコロナウイルス (のために or のせいで) 閉まりました (ので or から)、
    私の仕事はコロナウイルス (のために or のせいで) 休みになった (ので or から)、


    A のために B.　AのせいでB.
    When we use のために, B is caused by A and B can be both good things and negative things. But when we use のせいで, B is caused by A and B should be something negative.
    In your sentence, either is okay!

    ==========================================================
    I would write like this :
    引っ越します。
    土曜日に引っ越します。
    私の仕事はコロナウイルスのせいで休みになったので、私のお母さんの家に引っ越します。
    でも、悲しくないです。この状況はよくなると思います。

    What is the meaning of "allege"? ・His stories included an alleged cover-up of infections, and a busy crematorium. ・They allegedly worked as government intelligence officers. Could you tell me how to translate "allege" in the above sentences? I think "allege" mainly means "insist" or "state". Are there different meanings you often use?

    Hello. It's an interesting question! Normally, 現在 is pronounced "げんざい." But just in songs and books sometimes 現在 is pronounced "いま" because the meanings of 現在 and 今 are same. There are many words like that. For example, some artists pronounce 君 as "あなた" even though it should be pronounced "きみ" grammatically. So, you need to pronounce it "げんざい" in your exam! If you are not sure what I mean, feel free to tell me!

    Great job! You made just some small mistakes.
    I added some comment. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions!

    『て-form』練習します。

    Please look at me. - 私を<s>の</s>見てください。
    If you want to use "の", you can say "私のことを見てください。"

    Please speak slowly.- ちょっとゆっくり話してください。
    "ちょっと" means "a little bit" so, "ちょっとゆっくり話してください" means "Please speak slowly a little bit." I think it's better to say ちょっと to avoid being offensive.

    Please come with me. - 私と来てください。Great!

    Please call me tomorrow. - 明日、私に電話をし<s>書い</s>てください。
    "電話をする" means "make a phone call."

    Please bring your friend - 友達をつれ<s>け</s>てきてください。
    We say "友達を連(つ)れてくる."

    Please come in ー 入(はい)って<s>きて</s>ください。
    If you want to say "come in", it's better to say "入ってください."
    "きてください" sounds like "Please come here" or "Please come with me."

    Is it ok to go to the bathroom? - トイレに行ってもいいですか。Yes!

    I want to go home, because I feel sick -　家に帰(かえ)って<s>で来て</s>もいいですか。気分が悪いですから。
    "家に帰る" means "go home." Your sentence is grammatically correct, but it sounds not natural. We prefer to say "気分が悪いので、家に帰ってもいいですか。"

    I forgot my homework, can I bring it tomorrow. - <s>私の宿題を忘れて、</s>明日宿題を持って来てもいいですか。
    I think we don't say like that. I prefer to say
    "私は宿題を忘れたので、明日宿題を持って来てもいいですか。" or "私は宿題を忘れました。明日持って聞きてもいいですか。"


    Can I ask it in English? - 質問があります。<s>て、</s>英語で<s>が</s>話してもいいですか。
    You can say "質問があります。英語でもいいですか。" or "英語で質問してもいいですか。"

    Can I take a picture of you? - あなたの写真を撮ってもいいですか？ Perfect!

    summer in Tokyo One of the most popular topics in summer is ‘Is it getting hot in summer compared to the old days?’ According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the temperature in Japan is steadily increasing in these 100 years and it’s obvious especially in Tokyo and other large cities. Compared with 100 years ago, the average temperature in Tokyo rose by 3.2 degrees. The highest temperature is picked up often but there’s a more serious problem in winter. In other words, the rate of increase in lowest temperature is larger than highest temperature. How and when the heat of summer has been changed? There is a heat map which shows the average daily temperature in Tokyo between June to September for these 140 years. The map shows that in 1920s it started to get warmer and warmer in Tokyo and the trend got obvious during the period of high economic growth between 1960 and 1980. Since 1990s, it’s not rare that the maximum temperature exceeds 30 degrees in July. On the other hand, 1993 is known as a cold summer. In 2010, it was the record-hot summer. Also, the temperature is increasing and at the same time the duration of the peak of heat is getting longer. Especially since the late 2000s, the average temperature exceeds 30 degrees in some days even in September. Although the average temperature changes every summer, it’s no doubt that it’s getting severe. It’s important we exercise caution more.

    Inflation Inflation is a general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing value of money. From the view of consumers, an increase in prices is not welcomed. Why do many countries target 2% inflation? The brief answer is that inflation leads to economic growth. If you own cash at the time of inflation, the value of your cash will decrease and you will be encouraged to consume and invest instead of saving. This cash flows from savings to consuming and investments lead to expand the economy. Also, it is expected for companies to increase sales because of the price rise. This corporate performance increases the wage and creates the wage-price spiral which suggests that rising wages increases disposable income raising the demand for goods and causing prices to rise. The Japanese bank has targeted 2% inflation since 2013. How come do they stick to 2%? One of the reasons is that the USA and other developed countries also mark 2%. When we look back on history, we can see that to follow other countries’ inflation rate enables to avoid strong yen. When we think inflation rate as a decreasing rate of the value of money and set a lower goal than others, there is a possibility that the currency is treated as a currency that has relatively low risks. This is why the 2% is important for the Japanese bank.
