I'm probably lower-intermediate at Japanese, so take this with a grain of salt.
I find that reading vertical text feels better, even though I first learned to read horizontal text. I don't know if this is all in my mind, or it really does have some appeal to it, though.
- aikinai 2y agoI’m not native, but have read and spoken Japanese fluently for almost twenty years. I still can’t get used to and hate vertical text. Maybe it’s because 99% of my Japanese context is business-related or on devices (computer, phone) and I don’t read novels, manga, etc.
- wccrawford 2y agoAh, yeah, my main motivation is reading light novels, and I've actually read a few really easy ones. I've also read manga, but it's hard to find any that I like that are also at my level. I'm not sure how I'd feel if the vast majority of my usage had been horizontal instead.
