A tool to help you read Japanese - Tigoris - 2013-01-10
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know about a reading tool called the "Yotsubato! Reading Pack." It's designed to help you take the leap into reading Japanese and learning by immersion. Check out the link below to see what it's all about.
An important note to make is that while this reading pack is for sale, you can get it for free if you so choose. The primary goal here is to help people to stop studying Japanese and start using it. With that said...
Good luck in your learning (and reading)!

It would also be useful to have lists of less common vocabulary items that could be reviewed before reading each volume or chapter. And TSV or CSV would be easier to import to Anki or process with scripts.
I didn't have anything better to do, so I used a script to find words that weren't in Core 6000 and selected some of them manually. The list is in random order and only includes words with at least one kanji.

Bought it yesterday, and i think it is really well done for the (reasonable) price asked.
Since Yotsubato is mentioned quite often here as beginner manga this is a nice
addition to it in my opinion.

You're right, it was my error and not in the original PDF.
Anyway, if you continue this project, I can try to write scripts for adding word difficulties automatically. (Or depending on the licensing, republish the lists with other additional information as well.) It would be great to have SRS-able vocabulary lists for different mangas.

My favorite part is the sentence pack. Wish it was a little bit longer, it's a really great little addition to my sentence deck, as I'm reading the manga.

Finished reading it. Nice ending to the volume, well worth the effort just for that.

Hey guys, after hearing a few people say that they wanted the vocabulary in a more Anki-friendly format, I went ahead and made decks to include in the pack. There are more than 1200 cards. Hope this makes the pack even more helpful!
