@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
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!!

@paulfkrause I've seen "hari-kari" used in a grade-school social studies textbook growing up. Adding it to the dictionary just means people will perpetuate the misspelling in contexts where it shouldn't be used
If you, too, think it's a travesty for "hari-kari" to be an "uncommon spelling" of hara-kiri, please go tell Merriam-Webster to fix their dang definition!
