Forum › Yuri(-adjacent) Manga on Manga Million, Shueisha's new platform

So Shueisha recently started a new platform called Manga Million, with many previously (officially) untranslated series. I went through the list of English titles and despite the terrible tagging system found a few relevant series:

Erio & the Electric Doll by Shimazaki Mujirushi,
Flower & Asura by Takeda Ayano,
Invisible by Ogino Jun,
and Smiling at Yoarashi by Tsutsui Itsuki.

All chapters of all series are free to access "for now" which is all well and good but unfortunately it seems that despite telling AnimeNewsNetwork "that AI translation was not used for this project" there's actually a lot of AI garbage in there after all.

Several series, Smiling at Yuarashi among them, credit translation, lettering and editing to companies like EC Innovations or Flitto Japan Inc. that blatantly advertise themselves with their LLM and AI translations.
The other three I listed are all credited to a company called Blue Horizon which barely has any information out there but also seems to use MTPE for their translation work.

Disappointing to say the least.

I initially thought I’d finally found a platform with lots of manga that supports Simplified Chinese. But I can’t read the manga properly in my browser because an onboarding tutorial covers the panels, and there’s no way to close it. 。。。。。。。。。。乾杯 []~( ̄▽ ̄)~*

Just saw this thread due to the bump so my reply is late, but yeah sadly there's now series that only have slop "translations" that don't respect the work, the creatives, or the audience. It really sucks how some creative works don't have real translations and are stuck with having the slop "translations", it makes the whole translation service worthless in my eyes and it feels especially deceptive with how the people running the company kept pushing how it was all about human translations.

I checked their translation of "Stupid Woman" and the AI fucked up the gender of Phu Thuy, sometimes referring them as "Madam Phu Thuy" and as "him" two panels later. Especially in the mouth of Atsuko, who knows better, it's egregious.

So yeah, if you mind AI translation, avoid manga millions like the plague.
