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.
As machine translation tools under the banner of AI become increasingly accessible and easy to use, the light novel landscape is at a crossroads. Do light novel publishers compromise their product for more speed, and if so, by how much?
Does the Light Novel Translation Process Need AI?

Sometimes, letterering for manga means working in tandem with the Japanese SFX instead of rewriting them!
In CLAMP Premium Collection Tokyo Babylon, Vol. 7, letterer @kernedout.bsky.social skillfully blends the English "ZWOOSH" text with it's Japanese counterpart for a seamless reading experience!

Happy Letterer Appreciation Day! Letterers are the unsung heroes of manga localization. Readers, I encourage you to jump to the copyright page and take a look at who the letterer is before you read that next volume. Then you can appreciate their work even more!

Nate does a great job here showing that kerning is positioning relative to the prior letter. These letters move closer together, but the cursor still appears at the right boundary of the left letter. If you make the bounding box too wide and rely only on kerning, your cursor gets inaccurate.
