Could you build this?
Partial A web app UI can be vibe-coded, but manga translation requires a specialized computer vision and inpainting pipeline (bubble detection, OCR on stylized text, inpainting artwork, and font matching).
What it would actually take: Requires a Python ML pipeline using YOLO or Mask R-CNN fine-tuned on manga panels for speech bubble detection, specialized Japanese/Chinese OCR (like Manga-OCR), an LLM translation step, and an inpainting model (e.g., LaMa) to erase original text seamlessly. Finally, an automated typesetting engine renders text wrapped nicely to the bubble shape.
