Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

It seems MangaPlus has started doing Oneshot translations. Cool stuff, but the translation of these seem off... It flows poorly (I had to double take so many sentences) and there are some weird quirks. It feels very MTL'y. No translator is credited so it probably is MTL. Sorry, "AI". Sad to see this is what my subscription money is going to.

Unfortunately, I expect this to happen more and more going forward. I suspect that the popular, long-running series will warrant the higher-quality, dedicated translators. However, the long tail of other series will start to be consumed by lightly edited MTL.

God I hope not. The latest oneshot was already hard to follow because of it. I'm all for officially reading, but this is insulting.
