@simone_s_86 @Szaxachi You seem to think this is the first time a work with a linguistic cipher has ever needed to be translated in the history of language. I assure you that is not the case. Umberto Eco's THE NAME OF THE ROSE has been translated into dozens of languages successfully.

I love this interview. I often say during presentations that Rumiko Takahashi was the next evolution of yokai after Mizuki Shigeru, and it is nice to see her acknowledging this herself. And a reminder that the English translation stripped these elements out. https://t.co/STYZQDCPKw

First time I met Stan Lee I brought my X-Men #1 and told him it was my 13th birthday present from my father. He said in perfect Stan voice: "And you've had it all this time? You ARE a true believer!" I was a child again. Felt like meeting Santa Claus and finding out he is real. https://t.co/X3flKhvF0A

Grant Morrison is one of my least favorite writers in comics, so not super thrilled with these as the base. But All-Star Superman is the exception. https://t.co/tfBYuS8cKV

Charles Dickens is one of my favorite authors, and hard agree on David Copperfield. Brilliant book. https://t.co/NYIqFeHkUt

If his work was simply sensational, it wouldn't have had the impact it did. Leiji Matsumoto tapped something deep in the mythology of the human psyche. HIs art resonates. All of us dream of boarding the ship of Captain Harlock.

The idea behind A HISTORY OF JAPAN IN MANGA was historian Kanaya Shunichiro remembering all the great historical manga he read as a kid, and thinking "Why not make one for adults?" It is intended as a college-level textbook on the history of Japan in manga form. https://t.co/TyNpczeZCT

I'm no one's idea of a gold star liberal. I like guns and Ayn Rand. Pro death penalty and Capitalism. Think Dems have their heads up their asses too much of the time. That said; Republicans are lunatics that threaten the world. #VoteToSaveDemocracy #VoteToSaveAmerica #VoteBlue https://t.co/wzhAhMgyhO

True, and always reminded exactly how much Marie Kondo owes her success to translator Cathy Hirano who invented the phrase "spark joy." https://t.co/ueExMWPgiF
