I took a trip to Japan recently and came back with a lotta doujins from artists I like (not nsfw except for one). They’re all in Japanese which is understandable, but I do wanna actually be able to read them. I was wondering what advice people had for either learning how to read them or what alternative methods people have used to get past the language barrier. Google Translate is trash and I also don’t wanna destroy the doujins to try and scan them so I can give them to someone else to change the scans to English. I’m guessing this really leaves only learning how to read it or photos of each page and printing out translations and sticking them in each page, but yeah. Anyone else with Japanese books have advice on how to read them?
>>34583882You could take pictures and send them to a translators, but you will pay extra. Also why the fuck did you buy moonrune books if you can't read moonrunes?
>Be weeb>Can't read Japanese>Seek out nip literature>Can't read it
>>34583930mostly because it was doujins from artists i like a lot. No manga. I might send to some translators to see what the price would be. I am also a nerd and just love books a lot. They are my weakness and at least if i can't read it, i can be like a monkey and smile at the pretty pictures.>>34583935can't argue with that one. their art is just too cute.
Learn Japanese, anon. >look up Tae Kim’s grammar guide for basics>start learning vocab with Anki>use textbooks to perhaps try out for the JLPT>download the Jisho app to look up words>brute force reading, try finding the simplest doujin to understand or else at least one that has the most furigana頑張ってね!
if you have to ask this then youve already failed. no, seriously. japanese is probably the MOST DOCUMENTED language out there for learning for English speakers. every weeb wants to speak it. and somehow you couldnt even do a simple google or youtube search that would show tens to hundreds of websites that answers your question
