Huh... cover page on the left, horizontal text, shape of text bubbles, paneling style... so Senseibot's work is in Western comic book style then. Looks like a graphic novel too. Not manga (by our standards, in Japan any comic is a manga. Or any commercially published comic, for purists). Hmm, this complicates matters. Oh well, I'll figure out how to reword the TLs earlier. Gotta adapt Assistant Girl's 'dialect' a bit anyway.

Interestingly from a meta perspective, the MBU itself also seems heavily influenced by Western comic book styles. Main things IMHO being having a shared universe, a much fast pacing of events, and the 'achronological' arrangement of plot arcs.
