I said it before when it got announced, but helping out with Look Back’s Prime Video release really changed my opportunities in entertainment and tech for the better. I’m grateful to everyone who made this film happen, and I hope people fall in love with Look Back like I have!

With all the recent stuff going on, I do want to affirm here that all of the localization for @mangamavericks titles are done 100% by humans. We have no interest in using AI for any part of the localization/production process.
I mentioned this on @MangaAlerts’ space today, but @mangamavericks is sitting on currently ~18 (and counting) unannounced licenses right now! This includes more indies titles, but also traditional publisher works ranging from classics from influential mangaka, shojosei, and

It’s really fun reading people’s licensing suggestions! A few have actually been titles that we’ve already licensed and/or are already looking at, so it looks like @mangamavericks is on the right track! 😉
We’re happy to hear that so many people are excited for what’s coming up with MMB!!! If you have a manga that you’re dying to see licensed, we want to know about it! License Suggestion Form: https://t.co/mBVv8nMLoT

Over a decade ago, I read a manga about a deaf boy and a deaf girl. The girl had hearing aids, but the boy had his hands over his ears. I met the incredible mangaka, Yoshitoki Oima sensei, in Delhi. Many thanks to @KodanshaBooks @Japanfoundation @mangamavericks @VLordGTZ
