Ahahah ^_^;; I am a very bad person for this icon. See, the number four (四) can be pronounced either 'yon' or 'shi'. The kanji for death (死) is also pronounced 'shi'. That character there is the fourth hokage, or 'yondaime hokage'. He is also dead. Therefore, in this case, does yondaime = shidaime?
Sound effects are good fun, but it is a major pain to always turn back and read them at the end of the book.
The preview pages in the backs of Del Rey manga are very helpful for practice, I've found. I also have a link to a bunch of pages online for learing and studying Japanese, but I don't know exactly where it is at the moment ^^;
