Approving ALT0, ALT1, and ALT2, pending completion of QPQ. Regarding ALT2, however, unless someone magically creates a new Wikipedia page for Inoue Seigetsu so we can convert this into a double DYK submission, it doesn't make sense to run the lovely picture, unfortunately. Article is new enough, long enough, well sourced, with inline citations, and written neutrally. No copyvio per Earwig; AGF on offline sources. Hook facts are all cited within the article, with sources, and are interesting. So all we're waiting for is the QPQ. Nice work, it made me want to read the manga.

- @Cielquiparle: Thanks! It's an excellent graphic novel that I'd strongly recommend. QPQ has been completed. Morgan695 (talk) 16:59, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Approved all hooks per comments above; AGF on offline sources. Cielquiparle (talk) 17:11, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

無能の人 literal translation.[edit]

It actually translates to "talentless person/person without ability" 無non能abilityのof人person. Johnotm (talk) 03:57, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
