箕島綺譚 [Mishima Kitan] (they/them)💖Support Black Trans Liberation @mishimakitan.bsky.social · 11h

I'm happy to publicly come forth as the JP-to-EN translator of My Journey to Her by Yūna Hirasawa. It's a great honor to be the first openly transgender & nonbinary native Japanese translator to be credited for the translation of an Eisner Award-winning manga. 😊 Please see my full statement below.

A statement from Mishima Kitan. Due to the word count restriction of the ALT text field, the ALT text is split into two parts. The second part is in the subsequent image in the thread of this post.

Statement Part 1:
"Hi, everyone. This is Mishima Kitan. Today, I'm happy to publicly come forth as the Japanese-to-English translator of My Journey to Her, an autobiographical transgender memoir, by Yūna Hirasawa. My Journey to Her won the Eisner Award for the category of Best Digital Comic in 2025. I'm very glad that this significant book has been released physically as well.

I've been using English as my second language for over thirty years now. It's a great honor to be the first openly transgender and nonbinary native Japanese translator to be credited for the translation of an Eisner Award-winning manga.

At the time of the digital release of this book in 2024, I had some personal concerns about being credited so I requested to be anonymous in the initially released edition. In March 2026, Haruko Hashimoto (the editor of the digital edition) had reached out to inform me that the book was getting a physical release and to ask if I'd like to be credited as the translator. Upon consideration, I replied, "Yes." I felt ready to be credited as the translator and I also felt that this present moment was a historically important timing to confirm the credit.

Having my own fair share of transphobic experiences and having to entirely cutting ties with my blood family in Japan at age 20 to live and transition on my own, this memoir was one of the most emotionally challenging book to translate. But, as with any work that I do, I gave my best effort."

Not that it's important, but given that the Leapster is nostalgic for Sameko Saba, I'm guessing the person who performs as her was born in the latter half of the 90s.

I have had this picture from clownplushie (please check them out here: www.tumblr.com/cqallenwalke...) stuck in my head all day. It sounds like a real conversation they'd have if they spoke English lol

Mirei Hayasaka is wearing black wolf gloves with mint green claws and a wolf ears like beanie hat. She gestures towards herself and says "I'm scene, not emo!" Syoko responds "thought you were a furry" with a little smile to which Mirei dramatically yells "NO!!!"

I stayed at a hotel near the Nintendo Museum and found a guestbook, so I drew something in it. Everyone there was incredibly kind and welcoming. It became a wonderful memory for me. I’m truly grateful to them—and to Nintendo for making this experience possible.

question for Mandarin-speakers/Chinese Americans-- would it make sense for a young Chinese-American man to say 我爱你 to his first-generation Chinese-American father if he's about to go off to do something very dangerous that might get him killed? the family does have a loving bond

I saw one of these in a vending machine near a Daiso in Ueno and I was like "....this isn't just a Robotics;Notes thing?". I can't remember the flavor other than thinking it was alright/10.

People often like translating a line in anime and manga as "stop staring so much". I really think the "so much" is unnecessary in English. There isn't an amount of staring that's acceptable when someone doesn't want to be stared at. "Stop staring" by itself is fine. "...at me" is fine too.

I think most BattleTech fans from my generation probably came in through MechWarrior 2 and its sequels. My formative video game encounter was with the AOL-hosted MultiPlayer BattleTech: Solaris. Fun and real-time, but fast-paced it was not! #mechtober #battletech #vtuber
