Given the cute, generic cover, and the fact that this book is a part of a series of brief guides, I didn't have high expectations for this book, but for some reason I bothered to download a sample and give the first few pages a read. From there, I was intrigued enough to buy it. I'm glad I did! This book was the clearest, most easy to understand guide to keigo I've ever read. Despite being a Japanese book written for native Japanese speakers, it covers the very basics of the basics up to all you need to speak keigo as an adult. Of course, it isn't exhaustive, but you could easily go from knowing nothing about keigo (although how you would come to be able to read a Japanese book without knowing keigo is beyond me) to, with practice, being able to use it practically. It even covered things I'd never heard of or thought about before, despite having majored in Japanese in college and having continued to study the language since.
The book is written in the style of a conversation/lesson on keigo led by former NHK announcer Kaori Yano (a real person and the author of the book) and an anthropomorphic rabbit and dog who are apparently a part of this series of books. The format looks simple and childish, but it's easy to read, and is much more enjoyable than a more encyclopedia-like style of topic - explanation - example sentences - repeat. It was very easy to read in my spare time, even when I didn't feel like studying. If you are looking for a reference book, this is not the book for you, but if you are looking for something to take you on a guided tour of keigo from A to Z and help give you an integrated understanding of keigo (and you can read Japanese to some extent), buy this book!
