A dictionary, perhaps?
I don't mean to be rude, but I'm having a bit of trouble comprehending this post. Not in terms of what you said, but how you said it.

I'm trying to get the gist of what you said and go with it, but some of it is just really confusing me. What I was trying to say is I DON'T like books that try not to overwhelm the reader when it is INEVITABLE, whether it be 'Kanji or counters or whatever'.

I offer free Japanese lessons on my home site here!

[Note: I am proficient in the language (even proficient enough to get hired at a university for teaching), but do not look to me before a native or someone more proficient, like Nagoyankee]
