Nagisa_Fawkes Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 So I'm trying my best here to learn japanese on my own, I managed to learn all hiragana and soon will start with katakana (leaving the scary kanji for last). Once I'm done with katakana, I plan to play raw VNs (with a translated version by side). So I want to ask if there are VNs with furigana, or maybe if there's a way to see furigana with visual novel reader, either one is fine.

Vokoca Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah, you can either use Visual Novel Reader as you mentioned, or you can use ITH and Translation Aggregator, which would be the better choice if you need to use the dictionary often. It has more words in it from my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggressor Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 There is an alternative to TA called ChiiTrans. It includes AGTH and has an option to display furigana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garejei Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think raw manga could be a better choice from a learning standpoint. They generally use easier language than VNs (there are always exceptions) and there's furigana over *everything*. But if you want VNs, what's been suggested above is a good start.

DeadIEnd Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Maybe it's possible with Visual Novel Reader. I haven't checked. Can someone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolverk Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Maybe it's possible with Visual Novel Reader. I haven't checked. Can someone confirm this? Yes you can. Pretty much was Vokoca said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagisa_Fawkes Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Thank you for the suggestions, although manga isn't a option for me, I can't read the furigana on online manga, they're too small... I'll try them all and use what work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanahtlig Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I recommend ITH and Translation Aggregator as suggested above. The JParser plugin can be configured to display furigana, and also performs word-by-word lookup on mouseover. The MeCab plugin also displays furigana (but with a different algorithm), and can be used as a cross-reference. One of the perks of digital furigana is that they can be morphed to whatever font / size you want. I've come across games where the game resolution is so low that the kanji look like blurry blobs.
