I still think you could pick up quite a few natural phrases from translated manga. But I guess it would be hard for her to figure out which ones are natural and which ones aren't. Depending on her current level.

As for your second point though. I really don't think that just because there isn't enough room, the translator is going to come up with a grammatically incorrect and incomplete sentence. I may be wrong here, but I'm sure they would make the bubble bigger or something.

Anyways, I understand where you're coming from. Thanks for explaining.
