Cosmic Princess Kaguya is out! This was definitely my favorite project of 2025, and I'm so glad I can finally show it off 🎵💞 (I translated the English subtitles; "English (CC)" is captions for the dub, which I wasn't involved with, but I'm super curious to see how they handled the song lyrics!)

I said this elsewhere, but this is very unfair to cucks. Vibe coders don't care at all what's in their projects, but while cucks are extremely invested in what's going inside their wives. 😔

It makes me so happy to see people fangirling over lines I worked extra hard on* 🥹 *I agonized over them for way longer than any normal person would.

Folks, I've been told there's a new MangaPlus survey where they ask about the use of AI translation. You know what to do docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I want everyone to stop saying AI is here to stay, AI is inevitable, all that crap. It's only "inevitable" if we all agree it is. This is how consent gets manufactured, and I'll have no part in it. Either I will piss on Claude's grave, or Claude will piss on mine. No compromise, no surrender.

Some movie credits run for over ten minutes, but many manga translators have to beg for clients to even allow their work to be listed on a private portfolio, let alone anywhere that the public can actually see and use, and manga production teams are *significantly* smaller. It's obscene, honestly.

Dropping this so it’s all contained within one thread since now, more than ever, mutual aid can and will make the difference between me staying housed or not while I continue to push for security and safety nets through my state:

my partner's financial situation's changed, so i set up a tip jar to try to offset the strain of supporting me, his hot & cool but v disabled girlfriend haha. if you feel like tossing me a few bucks for my work here on bsky i will imbue that [redacted] energy into my art~ ko-fi.com/vespertinedr...

I could write volumes about the Orientalism inherent in expecting translated Asian texts to be somehow intrinsically different in vocabulary and metre to native English. They're not foreign and exotic to local readers, why on earth would you want them to be different for you if you want authenticity

Nearly the entire goal (of 15k) has been met in just one day! The outpouring of support has been incredible to see. Raising it to 25k as there is a lot of need the original goal doesn’t cover. Please continue to share 🙏 gofund.me/0635d94fc

I’ve been throwing out my old runners like an idiot. Didn’t realize this was an option.

Brand-new license announcement! THE DUKE’S DAUGHTER MUST SEDUCE THE DEMON KING... BUT THE DEMON KING’S A GIRL?! by Ringoame Third and Akio Kawada.

Excited to announce I'm translating Fleet-Footed Dungeon Delver for J-Novel Club! 🌏🚚 j-novel.club/series/fleet...

Andria and her husband suffered a terrible loss last night as their house burned down. They both made it out, but lost all of their things and three beloved cats in the fire. Please consider donating/sharing with others. Andria is such a kind person and amazing translator. gofund.me/b49a76f41

since I see we're talking about loc conditions again when yelling about anime subs, I very specifically make a point to only *ever* do so in terms of the company contracting them and not put the blame on any individual TLs or editors for problems, big or small, that make it through to release

lol not me getting choked up at the ANYC Iruma-kun panel… 😆 Thanks to everyone who showed up! This series is very important to me so it was wonderful to see so many people come out to support it! 😈

So, How Does The Green Work, Anyway??? Working on the lettering (English text) for The Guy She Was Interested Wasn’t A Guy At All has been an interesting experience. I primarily work in black and white manga, or on rare occasions, full color.

AIMod are a bunch of incompetent charlatans. I remember about a year and a half ago, when we had a zoomed in version of the Hera "cafe" piece in our header, the Anime Herald account got hit as "AI Art" and I had to go through a similar rigmarole to get the label removed. They suuuuuuck.

Up. At ‘em. Gearing up to step away from my stress for the entire day. I’ve got my digital list of to-dos and I’m going to do my best with my housing situation and my ongoing fight for over four months of unemployment back pay. Mutual aid continues to be called for due to ongoing emergencies:

Woke up to some absolute bullshit and I just want to sob because a quarter of my living room area has to have emergency maintenance due to the floor buckling and I just don’t know how I’m going to when I can’t access my computer setup for the foreseeable future.

we should go back to anime having 52 episodes a season because what do you mean goodbye lara is almost half over? like all modern anime it needs time for a beach episode, a christmas episode, a polarizing middle arc, an episode for the VAs to stealth-plug their pop group, and 4-6 “Nanami episodes”

You know Akiba Maid War had the sauce because it ran for a tight 12 and still had the baseball episode

I could really use support since I’ve accrued additional medical bills that I didn’t anticipate not being covered by my state insurance. Thank you for sharing and supporting—it really means a lot!

The studio chromato art for Kaguya's birthday!

Thinking was hard work. I kept a little bad habit parked between my teeth.

It helped me forget. We were on such good terms, I'd forgotten its formal name.

Manga industry folks attending ANYC: I've opened up the signup sheet for my industry meetup over here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Coming soon to Print from J-Novel Club - The Despicable Duke Settles His Affairs! Out December 2026!

Unbelievably honored to announce that I am translating for Ikoku Nikki (with Inklore). I think I must be dreaming. Tomoko Yamashita’s word choices are delightful and carry so much weight. It’s a challenge I don’t take lightly, and I will do my absolute best to do this brilliant series justice.
