Edit: Yeah, the Genki series is pretty good. The next most popular series is Minna No Nihongo, although its entirely in Japanese (Genki has some English explanations to help you along)

that is incorrect. minna no nihongo comes as a pair. it is a brilliant series because you can be in a mixed langauge class, eg people who speak different languages as their first language and all use the same book.
1st book is the exercises - all japanese
2nd book is the grammar explanations and vocabulary for each topic/chapter in the exercise book - comes in several different languages, i've seen it explained in are english, chinese & korean
the brilliance of this is that you get to work from the exercise book and not have any english or romaji anywhere near by. just the japanese.
