But as I said, I can’t help beyond that because I’m not there yet. In 1Q84, the year is 1984 and the location is Tokyo, Japan. Though you can always go all the way with the texbooks if that’s your thing (or if you want to study for the JLPT). 1Q84 is presented as a whimsical romance epic with elements of magical realism, and, in its proportion, has been linked to such extremely ambitious works as Roberto Bolano’s 2666 and Don DeLillo’s Underworld.

I feel it gives you enough that you can do the rest yourself. That’s why I don’t feel it’s absolutely necessary to go find another textbook after Tobira if you just want to consume native material. Since starting Tobira, I’m also better able to identify grammar points I don’t know and look them up. It teaches you just enough beyond the absolute basics covered in Genki that you don’t have to scratch your head at almost every grammar construct you come across. The novel quickly became a sensation, with its first printing selling out the day it was released, and reaching sales of one million within a month. I also couldn’t do much with native material right after Genki, but I feel Tobira really gave me a push. '1Q84' (One Q Eighty-Four or ichi-kew-hachi-yon) is a novel by Haruki Murakami, first published in three volumes in Japan in 20092010.

I’ve been thinking about following your learning path #1, though. I’ve been following the Genki 1 & 2 → Tobira path, though I don’t know where to go after Tobira, or even if I’m going to keep at textbooks.
