Miura's sudden and tragic death should serve as a reminder that the manga industry as a whole tends to be absolutely brutal to artists and assistants alike. Being serialized long-term is a dream come true, but it can easily become the most miserable draining experience ever.

連載終わっても何か残したいという鳥山先生の精神は遊戯王の高橋先生に酷似し連載後も世界観をどんどん広げて新しいものをどんどん裏で色々協力しつつ作られてきたお陰で、たとえ10～20年経っても今の子供もその作品の存在を意識しているというのはその男達の努力の証だった。悲しい…本当に悲しい。

these aren't written in first person. Japanese just isn't conductive to getting spat out of a translation bot with 0 context and will default to first person if not fed anything to prove it otherwise lol

If it weren't for Dragon Ball, a young mutt black child from a nowhere neighborhood in Jersey wouldn't have taken Japanese seriously and would have spiraled out of control after losing their dad. As silly as it sounds, Toriyama-sensei's work took the place of dads for some kids.

Undead Unluck Ch 191 - These were all a different first-person pronoun. With some exceptions (Language uses "Lan") they're all "I," so I decided to translate the leadup to "go" differently for each one based on what their first-person pronoun's personality gave off.

I tend to visualize text in the bubble when I TL manga. Your word choice can be super accurate, but it can make for some awkward breaks, so I find it important to always give things a 2nd pass and see if I can tighten up the verbiage to avoid this.

I can attribute every success in my life to Yugioh. There has not been a day I've drawn breath on this planet that I have not thanked Takahashi-sensei for his work—work that gave me strength in some of my darkest hours. The utterly tragic circumstances of his death devastate me.

I know a lot of new translators tend to think of dictionaries as crutches when they're just the opposite. Just knowing the word off the top is cool, but some dictionaries & thesauruses can really help in providing deeper insight or jogging your memories. Use them. A lot.
Localization pro-tip: if your translator says they know the language too well to need dictionaries, RUN AWAY

This is pretty big because this is essentially why I wanted to get into localization so bad even though I ultimately had no part in it.
It's been my dream since the turn of the century to get subbed YGO to people in some capacity. Five arduous years later, all 224 eps are out.

My favorite manga-ka, Kazuki Takahashi, lost 1/3rd of all his blood while writing the final arc in Yugioh. He barely made it out alive, but he still finished the series. When he first made this public, I couldn't believe what I heard—it made me really rethink being a manga-ka.

Undead Unluck 201: I joked with others about going 200+ chapters without a game of shiritori appearing—till now. The word Lan uses for "shiritori" here is not the usual 尻取り ("end grab") but 死理取り ("death rule grab") so I've reflected that whenever it's referenced. 1/4
