So I'm learning Japanese and I'd love to have more practice material, but from what I can tell most (maybe all) of the manga available from the several sites I checked on the Megathread wiki only had translated books. Many languages, tbf, but I could not find the original Japanese anywhere. Am I just missing it or is there a particular source I should look at for untranslated books?

Also as a corollary, anyone have a good source for visual novels in Japanese?

Mangajikan used to be THE place. Like supposedly even more traffic than Facebook in Japan. But they very recently got shut down. Like less than a week ago.

You can look for possible future revival. Which they had briefly but dead again.

I don't know any others. But you can search starting from that keyword.
