Hey hi hello If I had to describe myself in a few phrases theyd be: Professional manga translator Programmer Maker Video game history enthusiast Regular history enthusiast and Allaround sweet dude. Hit me up Im talkative I track my manga reading here I do watch anime but I dont use AniList for it. Normally I rate media on a scale from 0 to 3 to mirror how I categorize things in my own head but Ive adapted it to AniLists 5star system. My ratings mean the following: 1: NO. God no. AUGH. Nooooo AKA I dislike this. 2: Eh. Eh meh. AKA mediocre or possibly some issues make me feel iffy on this. 3: Yeah s pretty good AKA I like this but its not that special. or possibly it is special but has some serious issues that prevent me from rating it higher in good conscience. 4: Freakin sweet. AKA I think this is great. 5: HECK YEAH WHOA OH MY GOODNESS AKA I hold this dear. My ratings also arent rankings though any given rating is accurate to how I feel about that particular work they shouldnt be compared in a list as opinions and feelings cant be reduced to a scalar Around 20082009 the Swedish manga industry collapsed partly due to the global financial crisis which made Japanese licensors far more stingy with smaller markets such as Sweden and partly due to dwindling sales. Ever since almost no manga has been translated to Swedish at all people just buy the English editions instead. Its a sad state of affairs The heroes who translated manga into Swedish while that was a possible occupation however dont deserve to be unsung so in my favorite staff section you can find a list of Swedish manga translators roughly ordered in descending order of notability. Except for the first one. Thats me. Im am Swedish and a translator but I work in English. And Im probably not the most notable one. Probably. Maybe the coolest one though I dunno.
