WILESTARS applies Affinity English, the original teaching method created by Manabu Tokimoto.
An interest in a world. A reason to understand its English.
Affinity English connects personal interests with the experience of understanding. WILESTARS develops that teaching approach through stories (novels, comics and anime), its character encyclopedia, games and music, so curiosity about its characters and world creates a reason to keep encountering English.

Books 1–10Introduction⌄
Security and situations
Messages, impersonation, links, files, backups, accounts and signing out: choices close to everyday life.
English and reading
Subjects and verbs, negatives, questions, pronouns, short instructions, past actions, time and sequence. Read who asked for what, and what actually happened.
What to look for
Start with familiar messages, photos and screens. Return to the same passage to notice more of its information.
Books 11–20Introduction to foundations⌄
Security and situations
Overlaid buttons, sharing, logs, interruptions, data movement, risk, urgent warnings, QR codes and senders. Book 20 introduces reporting an unusual event at work.
English and reading
Should, possessives, past continuous, quantities, future and conditional forms, purpose and question words. Book 20 uses the passive to identify actions and their targets.

Books 21–30Foundations⌄
Security and situations
Information visibility, accuracy and availability; updates, records, multifactor authentication, layered measures, restoration, test scope, unattended sessions and keys.
English and reading
Present perfect, comparison, time, obligation, prohibition, permission, reasons, conditions, quantities and questions. A different workplace passage supports each reading question.
What to look for
Ask what a measure protects and what was actually checked. A completed test does not establish that everything is safe.

What to look for
Matching content, verifying a source and receiving permission establish different things. Follow the evidence in the passage.
Books 41–50Team practice⌄
Security and situations
Sources, signatures, versions and approval; urgent messages, observations, requests, notification changes, handovers, summaries, unclear instructions and policies.

Technical tests and actual use; input, output, secrets and build boundaries; restoration tests, revoked access, incident plans, authorization and inputs reaching databases, screens and networks.
English and reading
Use passive forms, conditional clauses and perfect forms to read targets, times, conditions and verified results.

Capacity, demand, uploads, repairs matched to causes, before-and-after changes, configuration and tests, scale, competition submissions and results, and integrations. Book 80 compares records and impacts.

Security and situations
Detection, observations, uncertainty, investigation material, comparing measures, proposals, agreements, handovers, symptoms and causes. Book 90 introduces protection, usability and continuity in design.
English and reading

What to look for
Combine evidence, contradictory information and unanswered questions instead of deciding from one log or a striking number.
Books 91–100Design and improvement⌄
Security and situations
Tabletop exercises, measurable objectives, alternative paths, switching and restoration, small trials, improvement, change management, regional and scale differences, acceptance and review.
