Got it to remember kanji pretty helpful but not I don't need it.

A Complete Course on How Not to Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters

Updated to include the 196 new kanji approved by the Japanese government in 2010 as "general-use" kanji, the sixth edition of this popular text aims to provide students with a simple method for correlating the writing and the meaning of Japanese characters in such a way as to make them both easy to remember. It is intended not only for the beginner, but also for the more advanced student looking for some relief from the constant frustration of forgetting how to write the kanji, or for a way to systematize what he or she already knows.

The author begins with writing the kanji because--contrary to first impressions--it is in fact simpler than learning how to the pronounce them. By ordering the kanji according to their component parts or "primitive elements," and then assigning each of these parts a distinct meaning with its own distinct image, the student is led to harness the powers of "imaginative memory" to learn the various combinations that make up the kanji. In addition, each kanji is given its own key word to represent the meaning, or one of the principal meanings, of that character. These key words provide the setting for a particular kanji's "story," whose protagonists are the primitive elements.

In this way, one is able to complete in a few short months a task that would otherwise take years. Armed with the same skills as Chinese or Korean students, who know the meaning and writing of the kanji but not their Japanese pronunciations, one is then in a much better position to learn the readings (which are treated in a separate volume).

Remembering the Kanji has helped tens of thousands of students advance towards literacy at their own pace, and to acquire a facility that traditional methods have long since given up on as all but impossible for those not raised with the kanji from childhood.

Torture Princess: Fremd Torturchen (Light Novel) Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 by Keishi Ayasato; Saki Ukai. 
Books are in excellent condition with some light shelf wear and only the 1st book has been read. I have slightly bad eyes so I honestly cannot tell if there is any sun damage/slight yellowing to the pages so I posted a lot of angles for you to judge for yourself :) 
Looking to sell as a bundle preferably but willing to separate! 
These are the LIGHT NOVELS, not the manga. 

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

Fremd Torturchen

I AM THE TORTURE PRINCESS, ELISABETH LE FANU.
I AM THE PROUD WOLF AND THE LOWLY SOW.
A beautiful woman appears before Kaito Sena following his tragic death and rebirth into another world. Introducing herself as the Torture Princess, she orders him to become her loyal servant. Naturally, his response is..."Hard pass." And so Elisabeth presents him with two choices-become her butler or be tortured to death. After rethinking his hasty decision, Kaito is forced to wait on Elisabeth hand and foot, as well as aid her in her mission as the Torture Princess, which is the subjugation of the fourteen ranked demons and their contractors. But there's a catch. Once her mission is complete, Elisabeth is fated to die alone-forsaken by heaven, earth, and all of creation.
