That would be weird.

It's mostly in images where the, as far as I could tell, uninforced practice of using the Japanese Raws for images contained the Japanese text. I never saw any reason to have them, since it wasn't like only people who read English visit English websites, and they didn't seem to add anything to the image. Even now, as far as the main manga is concerned, the only one who seems to bother is Jinx.

Chapter and volume covers I'm fine with, but it never felt right to still have the words on other images. I'm not 100% sure why.

Our Image policy says, and I cite: "manga panels should be gotten rid of any text (from speech bubbles and from the image itself only if it doesn't damage the drawing).". So if I understand correctly, what you're saying is nothing new, it's only about applying a rule that has been being omitted. Though I don't remember seeing any image besides the covers with Japanese text outside the dialogs (and not interfering with the drawing); except some of the recently uploaded files by one of our newest contributors —understandably not yet familiarized with our policies—. I'd be in favor of keeping the text on the covers though, but overall this is an issue to be discussed on another topic.
