Tiina of Kana and ACA

Thank you Ben! The team is very proud of how nicely the whole 24 Frames editions came together

Took me a while to be ready to write this, but here's my post about Matt. I still can't fully believe he's gone.

Manga friends: I'm going to try to make some kind of memorial for Matt Haasch. If you have stories, photos, or any words of appreciation you want to share, please let me know. DMs are open.

If there's anyone doing something similar already please also let me know and we can pool our efforts.

Sometimes the only way I can keep getting up everyday, what with the country and world being how it is right now, is because all I can do is put nice things into the world. And if that's just well localized manga that people enjoy...well, then I can get up tomorrow too.

Matt has setup a GoFundMe to help with rent and debt while he heals so please consider making a donation to help him out: www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

If you cannot donate, please share & letting folks know!

the thing is if you have a six hour day for eight hours pay & full employment you now have time to enjoy walking your dog. to cook yourself something at leisure. to enjoy taking care of your dwelling. the answer isn't magic robots. it's unions, it's workers getting the means of production

Thanks for the shout out Tiina 🥰

💜ASEXUAL IS QUEER💜

Ace authors. Ace women. Ace characters. Ace horror.

We're often not considered queer enough to be labeled LGBTQ+. We're often passed up when people are considering LGBTQ+ reads.

We have voices and we'd like to be heard.

Consider these upcoming ace horror offerings this fall.

The most sobering yet important panel I attended all weekend of Anime NYC was one on censorship, both "hard censorship" and "soft censorship," with discussions of our current political climate along with why US publishers might decide the things that they do.

Congrats to all the American Manga Award winners!

Lettering pays poorly. I work a full-time office job to support my passion of lettering manga. I don't dislike AI localization because I see it as a threat to my livelihood, I dislike it because it is profane. An essential aspect of the job is respecting the work of the artist and writer.

Some of my best friends to this day are from convention clamp meet ups.

For example: If an industry-heavy anime con wants to talk about, say, fansubs, and scanlations, they should get an actual historian of the medium to discuss it so they can frame it properly.

Or better yet, shelve that idea and get actual translators to talk theory and industry, which is more useful

28. Industry-centric events shouldn't be prioritizing upbeat conversations about piracy and illicit distribution over expert-led panels.

Yeah, sure, why not?

0. Generative AI is, was, and always will be incurious, wildly inaccurate slop built on the stolen work of actual humans. There's no ethical way to use it, like, at all.

Doujinshi Scanlation 101 Yaoi Edition (18+) Aug 23, 2025 8:30 - 9:15 PM Room 1A03 Description Ever wonder how your favorite doujinshi go through the process of being translated for your reading pleasure? Well then come on down and learn about the techniques of scanlation! From scanning to cleaning to typsetting we'll explore it all and play some games along the way, with doujinshi from fandoms such as Jujutsu Kaisen, SK8 the Infinity, My Hero Academia and more!

hey @animenyc.bsky.social — this panel is so disrespectful to all of the manga localization professionals going to the con. can you please clarify the wording to let all of us know you’re not actively endorsing unauthorized distribution?

I finally mounted my pinboard and pin collection, but I'm afraid it's too high over my window 🤔

I want to put together a piece on how AI is inserting its dirty little claws into manga translation and localization. If any translators who work in the industry want to take part, give me a shout via DM and we can chat.

City Hunter: Angel Dust arrives on Blu-ray Disc in N. America on July 14!

Here it is, my latest for ANN.

I'll be frank: this is the most important piece I've written. The deepest of thanks to every librarian and person I spoke to in this investigation. It's an honor and a privilege that they trusted me to share their stories.

With that, go support your local libraries.

Why Machine Translating Japanese Media is a BAD Idea Machine translating Japanese Media is a very, very bad idea and I wouldn't trust companies that push MT on their translators.

Once again reminding people why machines can't translate creative Japanese well.
