    When I got good enough at japanese to read manga I realized that the reason every manga isn’t fan translated is not because jp>en translators are uncommon, it’s because typesetting is a goddamn nightmare that no one in their right mind wants to do

    It’s (part of) why all the turds that go “ai translation will finally get rid of woke translators” are stupid. Even if ai translation of Japanese wasn’t mediocre it’s nowhere near being able to typeset
