An all-purpose manga translator.

@debaoki I'd like to finish translating the last five volumes of School Rumble, but I guess it isn't on anybody's radar anymore.

Credit where credit is due. The @guardian did a good job on the Manga Exhibit review the second time around. Good on you.

@guardian, If you ever send someone to a manga exhibit again, please tell them to do some homework or contact someone like ™@tweetheart4711 who knows what they're talking about. This is just embarrassing.

I wrote an article on what goes into translating puns for the #TranslationBattle. Um…sorry in advance?

Here's a video that includes two recipes of wagashi (Japanese-style sweets) from Deaimon, a manga featured in the Manga Translation Battle. Also includes an interview with the manga's creator! https://t.co/3y7k9eQlON

@JasonKieffer1 Impossible. I don't do scanlations. I translate a script, and somebody else does the letters. And my script belongs to Kodansha now. Sorry.

[William Flanagan @WilliamFlanagan]

@JasonKieffer1 But I have no other inside info. They don't consult their freelancers on publishing decisions. Again, sorry for mistaking the Jpn for Eng.

[William Flanagan @WilliamFlanagan]

@JasonKieffer1 Sorry, that's strange. I translated it quite a while ago. I can only speculate as to why it isn't available. (Licensing issues maybe?)

[William Flanagan @WilliamFlanagan]

@JasonKieffer1 I saw it on Amazon. It should be available.

[William Flanagan @WilliamFlanagan]

@JasonKieffer1 Thank you. I did translate it. Blue Mistral 4 is the final volume. It's published and available.

@translatosaurus I think I've done 15 of the 19 panels so far, but you may actually win on the longest streak.

@ZackDavisson @edsizemore @debaoki @Matt_Alt In past you could have entered under a pseudonym. were I to enter, I'd have gone that way.

[William Flanagan @WilliamFlanagan]

@ZackDavisson @edsizemore @debaoki @Matt_Alt I'd rather they still allowed pros, but maybe they're just copying Japanese manga contests.

[William Flanagan @WilliamFlanagan]

@debaoki @ZackDavisson @Matt_Alt I noticed earlier that it didn't include pros in the ad-copy. I was hoping it was a mistake.

Moment of silence.

@kyubikitsy @debaoki Actually CLAMP. I just translated what they said. But thanks!

[William Flanagan @WilliamFlanagan]

@chrollolucilfer Sorry for the long time w/o a reply. I'm not on Twitter much. No I am not. Wish I could, but it didn't work out.

[William Flanagan @WilliamFlanagan]

My friend and Bandai-recognized Gundam expert, Mark, is doing Homer's Odyssey. Great stuff! (I like the emo son!) https://t.co/OQs22s1Ye1

@MichaelToole @GeoffTebbetts Besides, Viz put out @NaoYazawa Wedding Peach manga. I don't know how "chance-ruining" we could have been.
