If they ever switch over the official English release of One Piece to AI translations, I will go back to scans. Full stop. I am Mr. Official all the way but this one thing would make me hit the high seas indefinitely. Took the survey and left a paragraph. Please do the same!

Shueisha shared a new survey on its Shonen Jump Manga Plus site that asks quite a few questions about how folks feel about AI translations for series. www.siliconera.com/shueisha-man...

Took the survey. I've spent the last few years reading the official translation to get up on One Piece and I would really, really prefer it to remain AI free now that I'm caught up. 🫠

I think I'd agree with you. The amount of effort that Stephan puts into making that translation as close to Oda's Japanese writing style. It would be an insult to every level of this process.

I’ve been using scans for a while since I’m an impatient person for new chapters of Sakamoto days lol. however I do read the officials when they come out so I can get a better context of what’s going on in the chapters with the words added.
