When *Dragon Ball* started to be published in Swedish in 2000 as the trailblazer for the Swedish '00s manga boom, Lundström – who had many years prior co-founded Mangakai, Sweden's at the time largest (and nowadays oldest still existing) Japanese pop culture society – was instrumental in facilitating the project business-wise. He went on to be one of Sweden's most prolific manga translators, until he was arrested in 2009 and the publisher with whom he worked transferred his titles to other translators. Although he was acquitted on all counts, by the time the legal dispute was over in 2012, the Swedish manga industry had collapsed, and – bar volume 66 of One Piece, the last one ever published in Swedish – there was no work to return to. In 2021, he returned to the manga sphere for the first time in almost a decade, to translate Nosebleed Studio's first licensed manga, *Vampires vs. Zombies*.
