The glittery feels I have being able to be a part of the panel announcing the return of MARS....ugghghahghghghgh. 🫶
Feeling incredibly thankful to be entrusted with such amazing, classic works like MARS, Mushishi, and Initial D. My middle school self would be flabbergasted. 🤯

This might be the worst TL advice I've ever seen. The number one thing I tell students is to look everything up all the time. Look it up in monolingual dictionaries, bilingual dictionaries, corpora, thesauruses, whatever! The ability to question your own knowledge is the mark of a good translator.
years ago, a native speaker on a forum declared, "you'll never make it as a professional translator if you're looking up words all the time."
was ever a piece of advice so dogshit?
632 published books later, I've built a career on proving him wrong. spite as effective motivator 🤷♂️

I've been rudely informed that I should start drinking coffee because I have a baby now, but I am in the firm belief of cola supremacy. 🥤

Be honest. How many of you have brought in a picture of an anime, manga, or video game character to a stylist and asked for a similar haircut?
In 8th grade, I cut my hair like Alice from Alice 19th (which is very similar to Rei). I wanted hair like Rei, but felt too shy to share it b/c blue hair.

So many easter eggs and faithful reproductions of real material, starting from the front cover of this manga. 🥚
