Where they better or worse then Yen Press
I picked up one of their volumes of strawberry marshmallow at a used book store a while ago, turned me off localized manga forever
I seem to remember yen press doing a good job on Yotsuba, but it's been years since I last observed it

They butchered Aria's covers and didn't have coloured inserts where ADV did.
Then they didn't even have the decency to finish the job before dying.
Their treatment of the first volume of Kino's Journey caused the original publisher to revoke their rights to translate more.

Toykyopop is literally shit tier, going through Battle Royale I had to wonder if this localized version was actually properly translating what was in the original.
worse from head to toe

Changed art, chapter ordering without consent.

Ive heard most translations are terrible because anime/manga is really entry level translation job.
Its not the experts translating this stuff, but guys fresh from college
They certainly shat out a ton of content, but it's not like it did them any good since they went bankrupt. IIRC they were making a small digital comeback.

Yen Press has never dropped a series so despite their shortcomings they are better by default.
