Welcome to Gaia! ::

Does anyone else here read manga in their original Japanese form?

Actually I meant manga actually written in Japanese. You can get them from companies like Nikaku Animart or from the Mitsuwa department store if you live in a major city like Chicago or Los Angelas (sp?)

I get most of mine when I visit Japan or I drive up to Chicago once a year to the Mitsuwa there (Arlington Heights area). When I was young I used to order from Nikaku Animart all the time.

It's a great way to learn, especially if you get some of the Shonen Sunday manga like Inuyasha or Ranma 1/2 since they have furigana next to the kanji to help you pronounce them and look them up in dictionaries.
