Plus: Japan Foundation promotes anime films in Africa; Manga publishers recruit foreign artists; Wine manga's screen adaptation runs into legal barriers in France; and more
The foreign artist recruitment story is huge and underreported. I work with artists across borders and the cultural translation challenge is real — it’s not just about drawing skill, it’s about understanding how Japanese storytelling rhythm works on the page. Curious to see if publishers treat this as a talent pipeline or just a cost play.
