Pour a shot of fins single malt and toast the memory of Toren Smith. Journey well, my friend. I hope you find your peace.

For those of you too young to know/care, Toren Smith *created* the US translated manga industry. We would have nothing without his work.

I was fortunate to work for Toren Smith (with Radio Comix) on Super Manga Blast. Because of him, I got to rewrite 3x3 Eyes & What's Michael.

Not only was Toren Smith incredibly professional (if exacting), he was passionate about manga. Also, immortalized in the GunBuster anime.

Holy shit, Toren Smith has passed away. Shocked. RIP. Dude's translation work was huge in my life. Studio Proteus got me into manga, period.

Ok, I can't start talking about Toren Smith until I'm sure about this, I guess we need more than one page that doesn't load to be sure.
