#35A little off-topic, but what is the best way to translate manga into other languages? I have been looking for a tool that makes this easy, but i haven’t found anything yet. I’m talking about making new translations myself, not tools that will scan the page and run it through google translate.
If you already read Japanese and are just looking for a tool to help with the workflow, one tool that’s really promising is Serifu, a translation markup language being developed by translator Paul Starr: https://github.com/papatangosierra/serifu
You need the comic author to use the format, but what tool does the author use? They need to define the dialogue boxes on the pages and somehow link those boxes to the markup format, right?

Calm down - we're in the middle of a massive upward inflationary spiral across the Western world. I know I'd love to buy this, but I'm already double-guessing myself on whether it's worth $60 a year...
This is off topic but as someone who grew up in a household that made their living selling things in markets, where prices were openly negotiated, I just want to share a thought: While you're absolutely allowed to express that a product may not be worth a price, it seems tactless to make such a comment on a thread where the founders are announcing their product. I understand you're replying to someone who feels the p…
and by VERY I mean would pay good money for a reputable company to collect said opinions

#40I know nothing about manga, but my kids are bang in to it. What's your target demographic? Are these titles child friendly? (< 12 yo)
Another example is One Piece which is also targeted pretty young but nearly every female character dresses super sexy and one of the main characters smokes at every opportunity.
Also, in general manga != for kids. There are tons of very adult manga and I don't just mean porn manga, I mean manga about adult topics targeted at adults. There are similar adult comics in the USA but the selection and market is arguably a order of magnitude or more larger (by percentage) in Japan.
