>>>/a/That said, I watch fansubs as a crutch, but with manga there's no need to keep up with the programme so it's simple enough to reread the passage or check a dictionary. So I find it fine to read manga in Japanese and don't have any use for scanlations. I guess they're nice for anyone who can't read Japanese at all, but I don't really see the appeal of anime/manga except as a means to keep my listening/reading skills sharp without being serious study.
