312 - 6 Year Anniversary Guest Gaiden 7 - Translating and Publishing Doujinshi with On Takahashi

We've reach another milestone in Manga Machinations with our 6 year anniversary! We're celebrating by interviewing On Takahashi, CEO of Irodori Comics and translator for game localization group Warlocs! On shares his childhood experiences learning Japanese through manga and anime, talks about his job working as a lecturer at a Japanese university, recounts his tough work schedule translating high profile video games, and stresses the importance of crediting localization staff. He breaks down the process of publishing doujinshi, informs us about the Japanese politics that will effect manga piracy, discusses the complicated issues of problematic content, and much more! Also, tune in after the outro for a bonus Death Stranding discussion by On and Darforx8!
