It's official! You can play the final route of Bloom now~ After a year of work, Bloom is basically complete! I have a few more things in store like extra music, BGs, CGs, VA... but the writing for the game is 100% done❤️ #bloom #fantasy

I lettered this! Akari is stunning, and Kohinata's mark-making is unmatched. Such a love letter to art and the impact i can have on one's life and the bonds it can forge It's debuting at TCAF (coincidentally, I'll be there tabling too!), and I can't wait to hold it in my hands!

is anyone interested in beta-testing AI blockers for me? these are filters to mass remove AI widgets, etc. from sites. no more chatbots, no more "Ask AI" widgets, no more AI answers or summaries.

Avec « Vies d’ensemble • Au-delà des mots » de Fumiya Hayashi, tout est souvent très explicite dans le dessin… C’est d’une beauté sans égale ! Retrouvez déjà 5 tomes de ce magnifique manga en librairie et sur notre site.

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

If you don't want gen AI in your manga, anime, game, and light novel translations, now is the time to make your voice heard. Write to your favorite publishers and developers and ask if they are incorporating LLMs into their process. And most importantly, tell them you will vote with your dollars.

If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.

Like I really don’t think people appreciate how much work you need to find every year as a freelance TL to make anything resembling a livable wage with the rates where they are rn. To hit the median US income on pretty typical manga rates you’d have to get about *50 volumes* a year

I think I found where the 6 months claim comes from, and it's not just for TL... but they are still completely misunderstanding the process and thinking we spend WAY more time TLing (8 weeks?!) and deciding terminology/etc (4 weeks?!) than we actually do. Do they actually talk to any translators?

media do, both as quoted in the nikkei article and on their investor relations page, has clearly said they will use AI for translation.

Update 2, 3/1/2026: Documents released on Media Do's Investor Relations website shed more light on the acquisition—including their full ownership of Seven Seas, company finances, and their future use of AI for Japanese manga.

Update, 3/1/2026: Seven Seas has shared a statement regarding the acquisition by Media Do. However they have not addressed the original Nikkei article that states Media Do will be using AI translations for future Seven Seas manga. We'll continue updating as details emerge.

I strongly encourage anyone against AI translations to contact both companies directly: sevenseasentertainment.com/about/contac... mediado.jp/english/cont... I'm not sure if it'll actually change anything, but we can at least make it clear how many customers they'll lose if they use AI.

MTPE: More Time-consuming; Paycuts for Everyone

By which I naturally mean: fuck "AI", fuck capitalism, fuck Media Do's business plans

I think we should take our time translating 🤷🏻‍♂️ More time than we have been expected to take, more time than we even think it should take.

why should manga fans pay money they don't have for shitty AI-translated manga when they can make their own shitty AI-translations for free? make it make sense? like, even if you're a soulless corporation who doesn't care about people, surely you see how this is going to lose you money...

sooo the claim that it takes 5-6 months for a human to translate a manga is bullshit. It only takes me a few days--then ideally I wait a few days to reread the translation with a fresh mind and fix any errors and tweak the wording. So like, a week total. For quality, human work.

We tested how autonomous AI agents perform on real software tasks from our recent developer productivity RCT. We found a gap between algorithmic scoring and real-world usability that may help explain why AI benchmarks feel disconnected from reality.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

@alltsunnodere.bsky.social actually, speaking of a title with a female lead who is an eroge fan without any male gaze, kodansha just licensed a title exactly like that (and it's the same magazine as WHA)

RIP to Kiriko Nananan. The only work accessible in English is “Blue” (originally in comic Are! and later released under Feel Comics by Shodensha). It’s published in English by Ponent Mon. We almost got Sweet Cream & Red Strawberries (originally Feel Young magazine) from CPM but alas 2008 happened.
