One problem I have is actually with translating these types of works. In Japanese they do it all the time, or they use symbols to show that a word should be cut off, or drawn out in some way. Figuring out how to translate that without making it look clunky can be a challenge. On another note, sex scenes are even worse, it's all choked off words and symbols in the dialogue. :/ It'd be much easier if they just described the noises rather than write it out, but of course what works in one language doesn't necessarily work in another.
