'BATTLE SCAR' Manga creator Kazuya Kuramoto expresses frustration over delayed English releases
He advocates for prioritizing translations and accessibility over discussion on piracy
"This is something I really want to see improved.
My own work Battle Scar is a good example: I've wanted to release an English version for the past two years, and I've brought it up to the publisher again and again.
Even though a promotional video aimed at English-speaking audiences reached 250,000 likes on Instagram, things haven't really moved forward.
I can translate into English just fine, and if you leave it to me, the translation cost would be zero.
And yet, even now, nothing has come of it…"
"Rather than focusing on piracy, what we need is a system that allows translations to be done more freely and releases to be published faster."
