Raws
In English, raws are the untranslated manga chapters and anime episodes. A raw manga, or manga raw, is the manga as written in Japanese. A raw anime, or anime raw, is the anime without subtitles and in Japanese, as opposed to an English dubbed version.
The term may also be applied to doujinshi 同人誌, games, visual novels, light novels, etc.
- Context: what a raw manga looks like.
- See also: rumic hand sign.
A lot of series are consumed through official translations or unofficial ones (scanlations, fansubs). A translation, no matter how well-done, is a creative process that changes what the original author intended to convey by mixing in the interpretation of the translator.
If a joke goes over the translator's head, for example, or if he can't translate the joke, it won't make it to the translation, so fans strive to read the raws and watch the raws in order to skip this middleman.
