Japanese SL Unit 3 and 4 Vocab?

Hi. I've been worrying recently about what Vocabulary I should know for Japanese SL Unit 3 and 4. Will I be fine if I just go through my Unit 3 and 4 and past Japanese Text books and Work Books and memorize all the Vocab from there? Or should I know more than that because they may sneak in words I have never heard before in the listening SACs? That has happened to me on some occasions.
I've also been told to read lots of manga and write down the words I don't know and find out their meaning. And so I been juggling between mangas like Naruto, Bleach, Attack on Titan, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Psycho-Pass. But for some reason I don't think words such as "paranormal", "destroyed", and "3D maneuver gear" will help me at all in Japanese SL Unit 3 and 4. So if you know any good Japanese mangas that have a lots useful vocab, then please post them here.

ALSO, If you have written/typed up a vocab list, could please post them here as well? Thanks!

VCAA have posted a link which contains vocab that you should know, except it's in alphabetical order so it'll be a pain to learn it that way. They'll also more than likely use vocab that isn't in this list or your textbooks, but generally speaking they'll define it for you at the bottom of the text and/or you can find it in your dictionary.

I recommend learning vocab from the Let's Tango (I love the pun lol) list as it is ordered into different topics (home, environment and so on). You can find the vocab list by simply searching "let's tango pdf". However, it is probably quite excessive at times for VCE but there's no harm in learning more vocab.  :D
Willing to help out with anything Japanese! :)

Thank you both so much for your answers! The alphabetical order thing won't bother me too much. And yes, Let's Tango is a brilliant pun :)
