Could you build this?

Partial The upload and export flow is vibe-codeable by wiring to AI services, but accurate text detection, inpainting, and vertical Japanese lettering need computer vision and typesetting expertise to look good.

What it would actually take: A pipeline would combine a speech-bubble and text detector (for example a YOLO-style model), OCR tuned for Japanese vertical text, an inpainting model to erase original text, and a translation LLM with a typesetting engine that fits text into bubbles. The hard part is the detection, inpainting, and layout quality across messy art styles, which requires CV/ML work and a lot of tuning. The UI and orchestration are the easy part.
