The English manga translations question
I have all of the English manga already (since I can't speak/read a lick of Japanese, except for a few words). Barring the names, and the fact that they're referred to as "Sailor 'Scouts'" (although in my head I say "soldiers"), how accurate are the translations?

From the hundred-year war to the Crimea
With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear
To all of the men who have stood with no fear

Translation wise I don't know since I've only read the first two volumes and the last one, but there were a lot of mistakes (mostly grammar and inconsistant name spelling). This site is devouted to the English manga and lists all of the mistakes (it's at the top, under manga, appropriately called Mixxtakes). Some of those I don't consider mistakes, but the majority of them should tell you the quality of the English comics. Hope that helps.
