My interlocutors will be Tony Toshimitsu Tran and Miryll Ihrens, both experienced colleagues in translating mangas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since generative A.I. models have been on the rise, they have been the talk of the day in the book industry as well as on the manga market.

Three experienced translators discuss sense and nonsense of the use of A.I. models for the transfer of manga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With: <a href=\"https:\/\/translations.itsumo-egao.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Miryll Ihrens<\/a> (literary and film translator), <a href=\"https:\/\/toshitranslation.com\/de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tony Toshimitsu Tran<\/a> (translator of Japanese entertainment media)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"16992\" src=\"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ihrens-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"16995\" src=\"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/tonytran-grau-955x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16995\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunday, 22\/03\/2026<\/strong> | <strong>1 pm\u20131.50 pm&nbsp;<\/strong><br><strong>on the Schwarzes Sofa at the Manga Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moderating a talk at the Leipzig Book Fair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":13885,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[899,63,1492,2241,611,2244,2204,2071,2243,2242],"class_list":["post-13884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-translation","tag-ai","tag-bochert-en","tag-fair","tag-ihrens","tag-leipzig","tag-manga","tag-moderating","tag-moderator","tag-myrill","tag-tran"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13884"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13884\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13901,"href":"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13884\/revisions\/13901"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
