| Hi! I was reading Kuragehime just after finishing the anime, and this idea came to me. Because in Kuragehime a lot of the funny part is based on a guy pretending being a woman and the other characters believe him (he cross dresses) BUT he keeps saying "ore" from time to time. Here's the thing : even if it was very easy to see it and enjoy it in the anime, it's impossible with scans because well ore is I...so if the others characters don't react or anything I miss out on this humour that I liked a lot in the anime! Anyway, I led me to the idea that it would be nice to have scan translated in romanji!! Of course Kuragehime isn't the only exemple, but as long as we readers know what the manga is about (themes etc) and a bit of japanese wouldn't it be more fun to read scan in romanji? What do you think? Besides, I'm neither complaining about translated scans, or saying I would like romanji scans to really exist (it probably would be hard to read and it's still possible to simply read it in japanese, but I'm talking about someone who doesn't read hiragana or kanji...the person should just learn it BUT that's why I'm saying I don't really want romanji scan it just would be an imaginary interim solution between translated and original japanese), but I'm curious about what you think about it. |

| Yeah stuff like "ore" is usually very lost in translation. |
| just thinking about a manga in all romaji makes me cringe. |
| You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name. For those who want to learn Japanese through anime Resources for learning the language |
| Go learn the kana. It'll take you something like 2 or 3 weeks... maybe more if you can't put in enough time. If the manga you're reading is realeased in a shonen or shoujo magazine, then you're kinda lucky, because you'll just have to read the furigana, next to the Kanji. There's no point in having a chapter in romaji, when the huge majority of readers don't even understand japanese. :P |
