Could you build this?
Partial The upload, preview, paywall and download flow is standard web work. Automatically translating manga is hard because it needs text detection in speech bubbles, OCR on stylized fonts, inpainting to remove original text, and re-typesetting translated text into the artwork.
What it would actually take: Use a web frontend with a backend job queue for CBZ/ZIP processing and Stripe for payment. The pipeline chains a speech-bubble and text detector (for example a trained YOLO-style model), manga-specific OCR, machine translation or an LLM, and an inpainting model to erase the original text. Typesetting then fits translated text into each bubble. Getting clean output consistently requires ML training data for manga and some image-processing expertise to tune the results.
