読んで、せひ！Bat-manga! →
Even if this is a year old, it’s a nice shout-out article to the Bat-manga collection of Jiro Kuwata’s Batman work. I like the chance to compare the two versions of this story. I knew that Kuwata was working off of American scripts but I had no idea they were one’s that were already BEING USED. What a weird way to work things… but a chance to see different versions, I...

The Ninja of Words: Why Publishers Should Hire...
As you may have guessed, I read a fair amount of American comic books and Japanese manga. When it comes to manga, much of my reading material comes from admittedly not-quite-published sources. (cough, cough, the internet) It occurred to me the other day that of course someone has to do all that translating. These online Japanese-English translators are many and mysterious. They are college...
