This thread is for the discussion of the language, culture, travel, daily life, etc. of Japan. Let's tark at randam in Japanese and English. Take it easy!
right now my biggest barrier to consuming japanese media is the fact that most printed materials lack furigana and looking up kanji in the dictionary is like pulling teeth
fuck

Virtually every manga has furigana and many easy light novels have a lot of it as well.

I want to start consuming Japanese media but my Japanese is just not good enough yet. I wish I could access some Japanese childrens' books
Luis Foster
If we start caring about the non-Japanese speaking consumers, we'll stop producing something unique. We don't want to be another Disney.
Henry Williams

Joseph Martin

this second website was a fucking goldmine when I first became proficient enough to actually read japanese stories. hukumusume.com/douwa/pc/jap/index.html
Zachary Peterson
Read shounen then.
Levi Perry
here, the website also has books by genre. Probably easier to find books you actually want to read.
the new ruby and sapphire have japanese versions build in don't know about the newer games and also you are in uk you can catch a train to your nearest big city it cant be that far? also just buy them online cdjapan is pretty good but im sure you can find a online retailer near you.
white people make so many excuses

William Bailey

Local government does not like libraries. They closed most of them.

where are you from did they have books in Japanese near you
anyway, happy reading, small steps and you'll get there in no time.
Well, the specific manga I'm trying to read right now is 「お休みプンプン」which is kinda notorious for its very... abstract nature. It's absolutely written with adults in mind, so furigana are there only for the obscure kanji and names.
fuck it I guess I'll buy a naruto headband and start reading some shounen manga.

That's old Japan which no longer exists. Americans killed it.
Carter Harris
Keep it up you'll be able to read it eventually.
Christian Martinez
There's a university in our town, and by becoming a part-time student, I can use their library.
