Translation

A new species of insect has been discovered in a forest in Japan.

Its body is only 5 millimeters long — a very tiny insect.

At night, its abdomen glows blue.

Researchers spent three years studying this insect.

It is said to be a rare species even on a global scale.

The news was also widely covered by the media.

Why six school grades, and not N5–N1?

Because that is how Japanese children learn to read. Japan's Ministry of Education fixes exactly which character belongs to which grade — so "grade 3" is a boundary you can verify, not a feeling. Every article here is machine-checked: if a single character sits above its grade, it is not published.

The result: you never hit a character you have not learned. That is the whole reason this product exists.
