You are probably right. Since the German publisher is a well known and established publisher (also publishes the Asterix comics), I was rather surprised

Totally. I’m not bashing anyone, I know the work of a freelance translator is a difficult and underpaid one. With France being the biggest market for manga outside japan, I would expect things to be a bit better. But it also means there is a lot of small publishing companies and a lot of freelance …

Caught up behind with a week’s section in a day, I don’t know if it’s because this week is easier than the first week or not but it getting easier each day.
