To leosmith: I figured for the Kodansha to be so helpful, it would have to limit itself to the range of kanji. When I started RTK in the pre-digital age, I reasoned that I wanted to apply my new learned RTK kanji by studying reading in parallel. This required a pile of books, including Nelson's dictionary, probably the granddaddy of J-E kanji dictionaries. You can bet that all the cross-referencing I had to do consumed a lot of time. Recently returning to RTK, I am amazed and excited by how the 'net provides practically all of the information I had wanted. Kanji study has never before been so convenient. The Kodansha will still be worthwhile to consider, I'm sure.
