I reached out to Media Do's Investor Relations department, and have received some useful clarifications regarding the function of their in-house MDTS software. I am now much more confident in their acquisition of Seven Seas Entertainment. Disclosure: I have a small long position in Media Do.

A screenshot of an email from Media Do Investor Relations, with subject line "Clarification on MDTS Functionality and Consistency with Our Disclosures", explaining that MDTS is a computer-assisted translation system for use by human translators. It can present LLM-generated suggestions for passages, but the actual creative decisions are still made by the human translator, as with existing CAT tools.

The full message is too long to be included in Bluesky alt text.

watching A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace and I keep expecting this character to turn out to secretly be an alien, her design just screams Taraku Uon for some reason

I'm increasingly convinced that the Luma is actually an elaborate hazing ritual disguised as a hotel; they have developed a type of coarse-textured woven-plastic floor material that's physically painful to walk on barefoot, and installed it in their guestrooms of all places

I briefly thought I'd discovered the first ever case where translating 告白 (romantic) as "confession" without further qualification was grudgingly acceptable, but no, this is a *novel*, you have plenty of flexibility to adjust this gag in whatever way is necessary to make it actually work in english!

okay I love to see the euphemism treadmill called out in a novel afterword

ahahahahaha it does fit though

A standard-sized still-rolled Durex condom is shown set on top of a still-rolled My.Size 72, fitting entirely within the larger condom's inner diameter.

reposting classics from twitter sorry to report that hentai lied to you: futa condoms aren't _that_ much bigger than regular ones, and the packaging is only very slightly larger

A My.Size 72 condom, the largest commercially available, is compared side-by-side with a standard-sized Durex condom. Both are placed on top of their respective packaging. The My.Size is visibly larger, but not dramatically so.
