Difference in markets really. While Manga is popular and growing more so in the west as is Anime, most of both are pirated. It started that way due to availability but its persisted till now. Especially with how pirating has largely improved in quality alongside the rise of digital media. And Jump and all other publishers are aware of this but since their main market is Japan they don't particularly care to throw a lot of weight behind addressing it through investment. And the importing of manga and anime from an american based company is more based in cheapest in most expensive out so ensuring the highest quality isn't the highest priority. There isn't much competition for something like Viz or Crunchyroll especially since pirating doesn't actually compete in any conventional way to give it the weight to push for greater quality from the licensing companies.

Tldr. Capitalism isn't encouraging the best product in this instance, just the most cost-effective. And when you got a monopoly on translation and pirating is your biggest competitor, subpar translation works just fine.

But JJK is achieving these feats based on verified sales metrics.
 
Yeah, but like just look at this community, most of us don't read or support the official release in any capacity. And that's a broad truth of the community that consumes manga and anime. Like of all those copies of JJK sold, how many of them do you think come from Viz?

Oh ok I see what you're saying, but still...we could apply that argument to other manga in the west and they have better translations. If JJK is a money cow it would make sense for the parties invovled to make sure some sort of translating body exists to make sure it's accurate.

It makes sense from a quality standpoint. But quality isn't the most important factor. In fact, it being such a money cow right now only incentivizes that it's available for official release, not the official release is the best possible because it can coast off of the popularity of the brand in of itself, and as long as its not utterly unreadeable it doesn't matter. And as much as we hate the current translations, they still largely work and that's all that needs to matter.

Maybe they'd be supported if they had actually good translations lmao

The truth of the matter is, as long as there is a free and easily accessible alternative the official release being quality doesn't matter near enough to incentivize it. Especially when people are happy to do the translations for free

Plus, who tf actually pays full price for a manga the day it comes out? Hell, I'd argue who pays for a manga if it weren't for the artwork.
