Got my comp copies for volumes 1 and 2 of Me and the Alien Mumu! I love how they turned out. The jacket and inside cover look incredible and they even have the translator/letterer names on the back cover! Super honored to have been entrusted with the translation. Thanks @kodamatales.bsky.social!

Check my files for this client and yep, I translated that song π (in my defense, it hadnβt released when I was working on it so I hadnβt actually listened to it)

Hi everyoneπ We're now on Bluesky!π₯³
(Please RT to help spread the word!)
We're JVTA (Japan Visualmedia Translation Academy), a Tokyo-based school that offers a fully online course for learning Japanese-to-English media translation!
Check out our website to learn more: www.jvtacademy.com/english/
English is way harsher on repetition than Japanese, so part of a light novel translator's job is tweaking the wording so it says the same shit, but without sounding redundant.
I thought I'd do a rundown of a few tricks that help with this.
I also want to note that I only translated the book itself and not the marketing (βabout this bookβ section, etc.)
