Neo Bomberman/ja-en

This translation is intended for people who already know English and are learning Japanese. It is not intended to be used to learn English, because the sentences in English may use strange or awkward wording in order to illustrate the vocabulary and grammar of the original Japanese.

This game's text originally used little to no kanji. We have added kanji in case they would be of interest.
