Control Panel -> Clock, Language and Region -> Change keyboards or other inpu t methods Change keyboards: If you only use English and Japanese, remove all input lang uages. Add Japanese (Japan) -> Keyboard -> Google Japanese Input To switch between romaji (English keyboard) and hiragana/katakana, use alt+` (just above tab key) More on this in the guide, if you're interested.

You have to set up an account and make a post on one of their forums before you can access the Winny Club, which is where the raw man ga is. http://kitsunekko.net/subtitles/japanese/ >Japanese subtitles for a ton of different anime shows. The only problem is that some of the subs seemed to be timed wrong when used with common raws (Ex: the J apanese subs are set for a 24 minute episode, while the raw is 22 minutes). So y ou might have to open them up with a subtitle editor and change the times. Regar dless, you can usually use these subs with the anime you already have, just disa ble English subs and load the Japanese subs. For the anime subs, it's worth look ing into using a text hooker to extract the text to make it easy to paste into A nki or a dictionary.
