Speaking of unnatural English. One thing that always gets to me is when they leave in the honorifics on everyones name. It just sounds stupid. Ah, I'm getting a little off topic now.

Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say "bad translation". These can be perfect translations that just aren't complete sentences. The original Japanese may not have been a complete sentence either.
What I am saying is there in no promise that the English that appears in manga translations is grammatically correct. That is not because of a bad translation. That may be a great translation, but not a good study tool.
