Here I'd like to advocate for almost never removing text/dialogue from manga image uploads.

I can begin to understand the idea in relation to character pages, but I think it goes too far in images like this, representing Chapter 80 - :File:Chapter_80.jpg - I think it mischaracterises the manga to an extent - the (japanese) typeface and its positioning is data in itself.

Also, like George Lucas' updated releases of Star Wars eps 1 to whatever, the color manga probably shouldn't be taken for what Araki always intended; and so I'd say that at the least (also thinking of Chapter cover images) they should be uploaded as separate images and not replacements.

If those seem like bad policy I hope my meaning comes through anyway. Obviously it's all sort of small detail but I (as a user) notice. I'd also advertise by pointing out the reduction in labor of removing text.
