I bought the comic Spy x Family (18)
When I went to Australia I bought the comic "Spy x Family" written in English.
I already have the one written in Japanese, so I can study English with theses two books.
However, every sentences are written in capital letters, so it's really difficult for me to read them.
Are English speakers used to reading sentences like that?
It'll take me a long time to read them, but I'll try it, anyway.
If I come across a difficult phrase, I'd like ask you all here.
オーストラリアに行った時、英語で書かれた「スパイファミリー」の漫画を買いました。
もう日本語で書かれたやつは持ってるので、その二冊の本で英語の勉強ができます。
でも、全ての文章が大文字で書かれていて、それを読むのは本当に難しいです。
英語を話す皆さんは大文字の文章に慣れていますか？
時間がかかると思いますが、とりあえず読んでみます。
難しい文章に出会ったらここで皆さんに聞きたいです。

You can also say "all the sentences are". Either way works!

No, most comics/manga and other books don't have all their sentences in capital letters. I'm very surprised to hear that Spy x Family does! Usually, writing something in all capital letters is to emphasize it for some reason.

Thank you so much for your correction!
I also have two books "Your name" translated in English. I now noticed that one is written in all capital letters, but the other one is not. They look like they were published in different countries.
Jan. 19, 2024
You're very welcome!
And yeah, maybe the different publishing countries is the cause of the difference? When I'm reading in English, it's mostly books that are published in the U.S. or by publishing companies that try to sell their books in the U.S.
I've learned about something new from this too, so thank you :)

"the one written in Japanese" -> "the Japanese one": was correct but now is more natural
"so I can" -> "so now I can": was correct but now is more natural
However, every sentences are is written in capital letters, so it's really difficult for me to read them.
"read them": To a strict English teacher this may be wrong because "them" is supposed to refer to "sentences" but only "every sentence" (which is singular) was mentioned. But to actual users of the language, this is perfectly correct.
"every sentences are written" -> "every sentence is written": was incorrect, is now correct
You could also make this plural without changing the meaning if you write "all the sentences are written" or "all of the sentences are written".
Are English speakers used to reading sentences like that?

To answer your question, yes! English speakers can read text written in all caps with almost no drop in speed.

Wow, that's interesting for me, but I guess it's natural for you because you often read those kind of sentences. Thank you for your correction!

Great job!
Yeah, some comics write the dialogue in small, all capital letters. I actually think it was done to be easier to read because thw writing is often very small.

Oh, that makes sense. Thank you as always!

Your original sentence is grammatically correct, but "translated to English" rather than "written in English" is probably more accurate.

I edited based on what you wrote in Japanese.

Your original sentence was fine, but I think this is a more natural phrasing.

I buy comics in Japanese to try to practise reading!
I think words in all caps is quite common in English comics. I'm not used to it myself either!

In English comics, it's very common for sentences to be written in all capital letters.
Good luck with reading. Please feel free to ask if you don't understand anything. :-)
