Here is another thing you might want to look into. animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-09-03/orange-inc-launches-e-bookstore-service-emaqi-in-u.s-canada-reveals-partnership-with-shueisha/.215032

"The emaqi platform will feature manga titles that were previously released in English, and also titles exclusively translated by Orange Inc.'s in-house studio, Studio Mikan. Orange Inc. stated that to enhance efficiency and ensure high-volume, consistent-quality translations, it will "leverage AI-assisted translation to support [its] in-house team of approximately 20 human translators." The company added that to "maintain the integrity of the original works and build trust with the readers, artists and publishers over time, no more than 10 percent of the content on emaqi will be translated using AI support at launch, as the team continues to evaluate and refine its approach for the future."
