Gal Metal's manga style is a stumbling block for the game's potential localization, says creator

Tak Fujii is bringing some rhythm action to the Switch with Gal Metal. As of right now, we know the game is releasing in Japan, but what about a localization for the rest of the world? Mr. Fujii himself had a chat with Nintendo Life, and his response on the subject causes some concern.

Localisation is hard because of how comics are read in Japan - from right to left, not left to right. If we bring to the west, text will have to be turned around and translated; it is easier to have subtitles, but not ideal.

Sounds like a localization is at least something Fujii has thought of, but it seems like a tough one to tackle. Let's hope he finds a team willing to take up the work.
