@PumpkinNMayo The bottleneck is more likely finding people to work on the books (mentioned in the original thread) and scheduling (both people and the printers)
A lot of us are already overloaded+AI makes it harder for newcomers to gain experience

[Jan Mitsuko Cash 🧭 ジェン・光子・キャッシュ @Jmitsu]

@PumpkinNMayo Their claim is a bit odd/misleading, since a small publisher generally isn't licensing 100 volumes/year!
Also, their numbers don't factor print cost, freelancers, or staff overhead, which would definitely add up to more than MG

@machikomemo 『cocoon』を読んで亡くなったおばあちゃんと一緒に初めてひめゆり資料館に行った頃を思い出しました。沖縄の家族から戦争体験や亡くなった人の事も伝えてくれていましたが、資料館に行くまで戦争の辛さやそれを記録する重要さをちゃんと理解できてなかったと思う。英語版が出来た事ありがたいです

CROWS by HIROSHI TAKAHASHI
📖 February 2027

What begins as one transfer student’s casual brawls becomes an escalating war between factions, gangs, and legends, with bonds forged in violence and loyalty pushed past the breaking point.

🗓️ Another licensing reveal is coming tomorrow, please stay tuned!
🏆 Our giveaway winners have been contacted, thank you for playing!

@Boichi_Bo1 Manga translators don't have royalties in the US. Literary translators may receive a 1-2% royalty, but manga translators only receive a one-time fee
We are usually paid a page rate or a per-volume rate

[Jan Mitsuko Cash 🧭 ジェン・光子・キャッシュ @Jmitsu]

Manga companies, please pay us $8/page! The small and new publishers can do it, surely the big companies with owners who make $3 million+ per year can afford it too!!
