Many of us admitted that we read scanlated material more than we would read licensed materials. And while we had strong opinions about scanlations, I wondered if this was common opinion among fans. Hence, after doing some groundwork and some research about people and places on the net and all over the world, I thought it&#8217;s about time that I open the same conversations I had with my friends on how much of Japanese culture do they actually learn just from reading scanlations to other people. <\/p>\n<p>I hope you can spare a few minutes of your time to answer my questionnare below. This survey will be closed by the 15th of September. Kindly spread this around to your friends as well who you think might be able to have an opinion or two about the topic as well. I need as much respondents as I can. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/spreadsheets.google.com\/spreadsheet\/embeddedform?formkey=dGIyaGcxdXZwYnd2ZkNiQVNKRDZWbGc6MQ\" width=\"520\" height=\"800\" frameborder=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\">Loading&#8230;<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This research began with an observation after some conversations with friends in a bookstore.
