What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

bozou writes: This year's 52nd issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine has announced on Saturday that three new titles will launch over the next three weeks, including Bokkesan on December 15 by Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation creator NISHI Yoshiyuki. Yamikami Kō ~Kurayami ni Dokkiri!~ creator KIMIYA Kaji will start his Meister (Maisutaa) manga about the "new-generation captain" of a soccer team on December 1. Newcomer FUJIMAKI Tadatoshi will launch the Kuroko no Basuke series about a basketball player on December 8, after drawing a contest-winning oneshot manga by that name in this year's 44th issue.

For further news, Mr. Fullswing creator SUZUKI Shinya ends his Bari Haken school gag manga in the current issue. SUZUKI Shinya had just started the manga last May.

Can someone explain to me why sports manga are so popular? I admit, I've just never got it. There are other genres I avoid, but at least can understand why people may want them. I've given a few a try from time to time, but just never got hooked by any of them, like for example Prince of Tennis. There is so much of that out I figured it must be good to be that popular, but there was nothing to keep me reading.

There sure are alot of sports manga..... Maybe cause it's original. Cause if some shounen mangaka was to think up of some supernatural manga, one element would be "compared to another (more popular) manga." or something similar.. But well, i'll be looking forward to them. smile

Most sports manga suck, no question about that. But the good ones are usually good not because of the sport or what little story there is but because of the characters and their interactions. In that sense they're just like every other kind of manga.

I read some sport manga like Eyeshield, Slam Dunk, and prince of tennis but i dont read it because of the sport rather its the unique story and special skill (wtf its impossible) :/ that make the manga so attractive.
