I am a fan, yes. But I don't really know enough kanji and words to read japanese text without a dictionary, so if I try to read something in japanese, it's really slow. So mostly I read other people's translations, either those that have been officially translated and are sold in book stores, or translations by fans on the net. Sometimes I do my own translations of short comics.

But mostly only new comics are translated, both officially and by fans. Nowadays, a lot of comics get translated, but ten years ago, there were not many translations, so finding a translation of an older comic is almost impossible.
