For Māori Language Week this year, I decided to do something a little different and translate some of the key aspects of No More Heroes into Te Reo Māori. I shared one for every day of the week, focusing on some of the unique concepts, characters and locales of my little universe.
Big thanks to Kia and Indya for looking over my translations for me and generally being awesome human beings. Koia kei a kātoa!
