Previous Thread

Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

I have tried lightly reading some of my ARIA volume, without dictionary or computer. The beginning is very hard because of the exposition. After that it is mostly characters in conversation, which is easier to follow. I think I can understand more than half in those parts. There are also some lines not in bubbles that are hand drawn and without furigana. That's gonna be difficult.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one reading manga for Japanese practice here! If there's a passage you're having difficulty with please don't hesitate to send me a dm about it!

Thanks! Technically it is the other way around. I started learning to be able to understand untranslated Anime. But it is definitely a good way to learn indeed.
