>>269141583ignoring all of the obvious questions, 1.5 chapters of tl is literally nothing
>>269141619Moralfags are like that sometimes. Probably considers it "contaminated".
>>269141619i just watched a cartoon of a low iq hillbilly getting upset that his second hand golf clubs were previously owned by a murderer so i guess its like that

>>269141361I'm 28, I've learned enough to read manga and I'm improving every day.Maybe younger minds learn quicker, but it doesn't mean older minds can't learn.
>>26914141127 is too old to learn japanese unless you have talent (i don't)

>>269141840The age isn't the problem. The problem is you're a zoomer retard.
>>269141840>talent>for japanesebeing old just means you will likely never be a highly eloquent speaker or writer, it doesn't have a very big impact on your ability to learn to read.

>>269141542>raw quality was pretty damn good for the first 2 volumes
>>269141305>translation's 30 chapters behindSnipe one of those manga's translations, see how quickly those niggers react and start posting translations that they've finished months ago.

>>269141938as someone who grew up speaking spanish, my japanese sounds too fluid while simultaneously being too foreign
>>269141361This is so dumb to post.
>>269141361>>269141840If you believe that "You can't learn anything after 25" bullshit then your IQ is the issue, not your age.
>>269142222>vtuber shit
>>269142437the real issue is finding anything you should actually learn because school likely didn't teach you jackshitit is fucking ridiculous that i do not even use 80% of what those faggots tried to ram down my skull
>>269142464now is not the time to be retarded, anon
>>269141361>>269141840You were stupid to begin with. You don't magically get restricted to what you learned in the first half of your life.
>>269141361>>269141840You absolute moron. Close /a/ and go learn Japanese.>>269142465>the real issue is finding anything you should actually learnJapanese is what you should learn. Now go and do it.
>>269142824ばか私は 日本語が 読める
>>269141305go to nyaa and start looking up K-manga, Manga-Up and Manga Plus ripped series. guaranteed they will continue to be (professionally) translated as they are simulpub. many rippers also package back releases in volumes with tankoubon cover and extras.
>>269142907>ばかso close
>>269141305That's why I only read manga with more that 300 chapters.
>>269141598Trannylators want you to never learn the language and always be enslaved to them, gay cuckbro.
>>269142465just because you don't do anything useful and just scroll on your phone all day, it isn't their fault.

>>269143867cool story broim a nuclear physicist
I think that's the biggest revelation you have when you become a serious manga fan: Despite there being millions of choices of things to read or watch, the vast majority of manga are so obscure that they can fall off the Earth and no one would even notice.
>>269141305Take the LN-pill, anon. That way you can probably also see the continuations of several of the "canceled" manga on your list.
>>269141305It could be worse... it could be LOCALIZED instead of translated. Now it will be stuck being shit, because no one is ever going to go back and fix it. At least when it was untranslated there was hope.
I just check every now and then.
>>269144520I tried doing this for Eminence in Shadow. Liked the first season, read the manga, half-watched the second season and tried to read the new novel which came out. Can't disassociate LN from being fanfic and the animation and art in anime and manga makes it much more palatable.

>>269144522Anyone who doubts this go read Ruri Dragon and try not to die of cringe.
Skill issue. Just learn japanese
>>269143901no you aren't, otherwise you wouldn't be whining about learning stuff in school like a fucking loser.
>>269141305>3 chapters a yearStop whining. The only manga I care about isn't even getting that much this year.
>>269141840>>269141938There is zero impact on ability to learn languages later in life, this is well established by recent literature. The issue is one of exposure. Children spend all day learning language (when they're not playing and even then sometimes). Most adults spend like one hour a day in the class room, never practice it, then come onto 4chan and bitch about how they're too old at 27 like a faggot.If you put in as much effort as a child, you will learn. In fact it may even be easier because you can construct logic systems or relay it to one you already know.>>269144848It's the manga that was fanfic.
>>269149122>There is zero impact on ability to learn languages later in life,Objectively false.
>>269141305My favorite is>Japanese raws are strictly and tightly paywalled, so you have to look at the Korean scans
>>269141361The older you are the easier it is to do.
>>269141305Basically me with Asper Girl. Was getting into it and the translation just stopped at like chapter 70 for like 3 years. Also, I was enjoying that needy streamer overload manga and then the writer had to get back surgery. Such is life.
Maybe its time to start reading westslop?
>>269141361It’ll take you like <6 months of actual effort to be somewhat proficient in reading. Hell, most shounen mangas have hiragana next to the kanji in the text bubble because a majority of their readers are teenagers. You’ll be 30 eventually, so might as well just learn a language between now and then. You can be 30 not knowing Japanese or 30 knowing Japanese
>>269141381I need some recommendations. I like my manga depressing. Like full-on, “I want to look at the ceiling and kill myself after reading this” type shit.
>>269141840Language is a skill, anon. You’re not too old for anything. You’re just too lazy. Are you too old for working out? If you do something consistently, then you’ll get better at it. Simple as. I’m 22 and learning Chinese right now. I talk to Chinese speakers so they can cringe and correct my pronunciation. Also, once you learn a language, learning other languages get easier out of intuition. Russian grammar made basically every other language’s grammar I’ve studied so far feel like baby shit.
>>269149234no uhttps://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=1C_-zfVkmOkC&oi=fnd&pg=PR6&dq=language+learning+age&ots=7ZyXKZJcCr&sig=x_7pyx_2A4OYK514N88R7VJwFbc#v=onepage&q=language%20learning%20age&f=falseI could spend hours spoon feeding you citations, this was once an area of study for me.Early research had to deal with all kinds of non-easily testable things like "feral children not taking to language well so this obviously means it's impossible for anyone to learn languages easily later in life" despite the obvious problems said feral children have such as integrating back to society, residual / later trauma, etc.Children have an easier time because a desire to fit into the world + immersion. Adults tend to drift back to their old language because it's "easier". The american living in china may take his news in english from the BBC site rather than read chinese newspapers because he doesn't want to engage the difficulty early in morning before coffee. The child doesn't have that option so is forced to read (or ask parents in said language).
>>269149316Agree, text to speech, hover dictionary, a ton of youtube/TikTok vids.Back in my day, we only have 1-2 "learn japanese in 60 days" books in a store....
>>269141840if the ability to do flash cards counts as talent to you, you need to go to the doctor and start getting treatment for your ADHD.
>>269141361I've seen people learn a new language fluently after 40
>>269150030The best way to learn anything is immersion. Start indulging in media of your preferred language of choice. With the amount of anime/J-Pop/manga we wll consum, learning Japanese is probably gonna be super easy if we put the effort. Problem, really, is that it’ll be what I like to call the “Dramatic version” of a language. Japanese people don’t speak like anime characters. Hence you’d probably need to expand your horizon to watching movies with good acting or even talking to Japanese people. All I’m saying. Nothing makes learning a language faster than having an SO who speaks it
>>269141305More and more series are gonna have dropped scans due to the number of series that are getting licensed.
>>269150265>tfw have to wait 10 years to be old enough to learn a new languagethe suffering never ends
Japanese is the easiest language to learn considering all the tools available and the amount of content Japan produces for someone who sits in their computer all day
>>269149986>ackshually anyone can learn any language really really easy so you should let foreigners swarm your countryI don't care about your globohomo propaganda. Observable reality deftly slaps your nonsense away.
>>269141305Just MTL bro. You’re a human being, working off limited linguistic knowledge by combining it with context clues is one of your strongest evolutionary advantages. Always funny to see lingua lift crew in these threads defending their sunk cost without fail. You could have spent 2200 hours on literally anything.
>>269150592It's weird to find machine translated manga that's practically nonsensical. Was the uploader lazy? Or not intelligent enough to fix it up to a readable level?
I guess this is why gooktoons/long strip comics are getting more popular. I don't even know how they manage to constantly shit out chapters every week with no breaks/hiatuses. I get that there's a lot less background art and the art itself is subpar, but it's not like the majority of manga is super detailed either. And these webtoon chapters still take the same amount of time to read as a manga chapter would. Heck, sometimes even more, considering there's some manga that only shit out a whopping 10 pages every 2 fucking weeks.
>>269150322alright easy there matt
>>269141305This is why I have to wait for official translations for Succubus & Hitman because the scanlation team behind it were "disgusted" by the content.
>>269150451That has nothing to do with globohomo. Lock down all borders and shoot refugees I don't give a fuck. But telling yourself "boohoo I already passed puberty so I can't learn to speak swahili anymore :(" is just doing yourself a disservice as well as others dumb enough to believe you.
>>269150422I'd say English is even easier but Japanese is second easiest after that, at least for the persons posting here.
>>269149986these studies are mostly for first language acquisition
>>269151985Specifying second language then.https://english.fullerton.edu/publications/clnArchives/pdf/Tohidian%20Age_SLA.pdf5) The process of acquiring a second language grammar is not substantially affected by age,but that of acquiring pronunciation may be.Note that for "language acquisition" I personally focus on writing / understanding and not pronunciation when I say things like "perfectly able to learn the language".
>>269141840All men suffer and age. Not all men self-pity. Stop feeling bad about your “lack of talent” and prove yourself wrong!
>>269151881It has everything to do with it. Your sources are globohomo funded. They want people to believe that everyone can easily learn languages whenever they like, so it's okay to have mass migration of grown men all over the western world.Though that part isn't important really, when observable reality already makes you look a complete fool, and possibly a subversive. Now you can cope and seethe and pretend people are just talking themselves out of it, you can lie to people here, but it's obvious to everyone that you're wrong. You might as well claim that there's nothing stopping 100 year old grannies from doing 100 backflips, because a recent study said that ACKSHUALLY there's nothing stopping them, and they might even have advantages over the youth!Now perhaps you should consider the implications of pushing such nonsense and telling people to reject reality. It's really not good.
>>269152438Is this how young men cope for not wanting to put effort into something? “Learning a language takes effort? It must be the globos that are the cause of this!”. Grow the fuck up. Rather than argue why not use that type to actually improve yourself?? Even doing like 5 minutes ot Duolingo a day is quicker and better than whining about things that are in your head. Take things at face value
>>269149510give me a good westslop romcom that isnt
>>269152651I'm learning a language right now. You're still a retard pushing gay globohomo "let's mix everyone together" nonsense.Time for you to "grow the fuck up" and not auto believe nonsense just because it aligns with what you already believe. Develop a criticial eye and humble yourself. Accept reality. Learning a language is more difficult as you age. Simple as that.
>>269152818>romcomSorry. Not into romcoms myself.
>>269153098That's a different guy. At no point did I use coarse language (directed at you anyway). If you can't even distinguish that much there's little point in me continuing the conversation with you. Good luck with the language.
>>269141361Happy birthday anon :>
>>269154055If someone’s identity is basically “Incest good, diversity bad”, then he will get offended if someone calls out his bullshit ideology. Same guy saying globohomo is also using an anime board and the internet. He’s an actual retard. Best to ignore him. Man has not seen and felt the beauty of a hapa woman with freckles before!

>source material LN ended over a decade ago, and still has zero translation because the anime was unpopular in the west
>>269155943I like stories that focus more on a character’s psyche while also containing more darker themes. Think Goodnight Punpun or Welcome to the NHK. Seeing broken people try to cope with life and having uncomfortable situations are things I enjoy in stories. Norwegian Wood and basically a lot of classic Russian literature are good examples of non-manga examples. I dislike self-insert stories and harems. I wouldn’t want some power fantasy isekai or something that’s just wish fulfillment. I also dislike “chosen one” stories. I find Star Wars boring and find its inspirations far lore interesting. Maybe I just like bittersweet endings….
>>269157859>>source material LN ended over a decade ago, and still has zero translation because the anime was unpopular in the west
>>269141840>TalentSome weeks on Duolingo and playing Hiragana Battle and I can already easily read hiragana. Stop coping with this "talent" bullshit. Rock Lee was a mistake.
