Horror Manga to Anime Adaptation

Once a manga becomes popular, it is most likely to be serialized from Japanese to English. It will undergo multiple processes such as manga translation, localization, and manga typesetting. This is done in multiple languages while maintaining the source material. Once it has been translated and reached more audiences, it has a higher chance of getting adapted into anime. 

Knowing that the anime community is an entirely different audience, horror manga can get the spotlight they deserve for being well-written and amazing. Thus, manga translation and localization is truly important to reach greater heights.
