Can you recommend me a Kanji book?

Is there a book that teaches Kanji? I mean, really teaches it. Some provide background information and educate you on Kanji, but all books that I have found so far, provide you with no effective way to learn Kanji. What you generally find in the books on Kanji is just information. You can look up a character and get the information you need but as for learning the Japanese written characters, all books rely on the user to memorize. Even Heisig's famous method requires you to memorize your own made-up stories. So that series is no different.

漢字を教える本はありますか?本当に教えていますか?背景を説明して漢字の知識を仕込む本はありますが、今までの見付かった本は効果的な漢字学習方法はありません。漢字を学ぶ本の中に、一般的な見付ける内容は情報だけです。字を引いて欲しい情報を取ることが出来ますが日本の漢字を習うという方法は、全ての本は学習者が暗記するのを頼りにします。ヘイシグ先生の有名な方法も自分が作ったストリーを暗記する必要があります。だからその本も違いません。

  1. My teacher swears by playing Japanese RPGs. Although the SNES and GBA have a bad enough screen size that it can be extremely frustrating at times when you're trying to distinguish radicals.
