I'm learning to read and write, and along the course of this I've noticed in example sentences that the comma seems to be used slightly differently in Japanese compared to English – or rather, sentences are broken up with them a little differently. I use commas a lot in English as is, and am a little worried I might overuse them or be tempted to use them more like I might do in English.
Is there any good rule(s) of thumb for when to use a comma in Japanese? Is it something you just have to feel out over time?
