Stonebot has recieved backlash over the shoddy product that is their release of the Kuuga manga. They have also put out a statement that can basically be summed up as them shoving their heads in the sand.
https://twitter.com/TokuNation/statu...98984837283841 Oh well. Hopefully they don't pick up the Fuuto PI manga. |

Very good first steps. Stonebot's explanation for why the manga translation looks worse than the preview pages is...extremely questionable if they think what they published is what traditional manga localizations look like...but outside of that, reprinting volumes 1 and 2 with fixed translations and following that same path with 3 onward is exactly what they should be doing.
The question is how much of an improvement the new translations will be. If they're notably better and on-par to typical manga releases, that's more than fine. If they're only slightly better but not by much, different story.

Hopefully this is it resolved and the translations going forward at least pass a bar

Translations that bad should never have made it to market. The fact that they even thought that would be up to par is worrisome.

So vol. 3 is out in the wild now, does anyone know if the translation has improved at all?

According to those who found it in the wild on Twitter, from what I saw anyway, the scans are cleaner with no signs of sloppy Japanese text erasure, but apparently while the translation itself doesn't read as awkwardly as the previous two volumes, it's no different from preview copies sent out to reviewers before it was seemingly delayed after the original backlash about the quality.

This whole situation with Titan has been really disappointing, between this and the absolute meme that is the Zero-One comic, the whole thing just feels so half-assed which at the point why even bother doing this in the first place if you weren't going to try. I'd love to see other Rider manga come to the west (Fuuto PI, Kamen Rider Spirits, OG Black) but hopefully someone other than Titan picks it up. |

I hope we get the KRS manga next. It's been long overdue for a US release.

Seven Seas picking up any other Kamen Rider manga would be the best cast scenario. The care they put into the original Kamen Rider and Gorenger collections is all the proof you'd need to know they'd treat the licenses right.
