I’m off on vacation for the week but it looks like hope you’re happy lemon is finally on sale. I’m the letterer for th3 print version, and wooieee was it a lot of work but working with the art was a lot of fun. I’ll try posting some lettering examples when I’m back.

Lmao friend tried to draw my character mascot from memory… honestly, better than the original leafmob/10

screaming crying throwing up

Definitely emailing all my clients ASAP. Mori Kaoru-sensei is one of my "dream" authors to translate. Lemme tell you, I would absolutely LOVE to work on Shirley (if it's re-licensed) or the latest collection of Mori-sensei's oneshots. It's unlikely, but it can't hurt to ask!

Got a new simulpub. Can't wait for you guys to see it!! Me n the team are working super hard on it, heh heh...!!

Had an interesting chat about Rurihiko's name and how it foreshadows both the fact that he'll be a magical BOY and what kind of flower it will be. This is probably all pretty clear to JP readers, but sadly not so much to EN ones! #MagicalGirlDandelion #魔法少女ダンデライオン

JGarden today #J庭58

Soup and a pizza. You just can’t beat Saezeriya lunch prices.

thank you for letting me make your dreams into memes @amaki.bsky.social

By the way, I’m translating this!!!

By the way, I'll be translating Stella Must Die ^^ Super excited to be doing my first hard(er)-boiled fantasy. And I was a huge fan of Yasunori Mitsunaga-sensei's Princess Resurrection growing up and then later Naqua-Den, so it's super exciting to get to work on something of his!!

Every time I see it, it's so good 😭

Shade in the newest chapter of MGD be like #MagicalGirlDandelionFA #魔法少女ダンデライオンFA

New chapter out next week! SO. Some random Magical Girl Dandelion translation lore time.😆 #魔法少女ダンデライオン When I first drafted the last 2 pages of ch.9--where Prima and Stella are introduced, I was unhappy with what I wrote--it felt...TOO MUCH. First draft:

OMG thanks for the follow back!! I read The Fool, The Absolute Madwoman two days ago and it was soooo gooodddd!!!! I swear, the art style was just eye candy and I couldn't stop flipping back and forth across the volume to look at my fave panels >_< I am looking forward to your future works!!! :D

I'm so happy to say I was the translator on this! Matusuo-sensei has a wonderful sense of humor, their art is really soft and cute, and their dialog writing was just...utterly chef's kiss. If you love weird, socially awkward romance + BL, I def recommend picking this one up!

Translation Mini Thread I recommended the term "fiend" for the EN monster term in Magical Girl Dandelion for a few reasons. It has a lot of definitions, but Merriam-Webster is the main dictionary for manga translation, so: 🧵 #魔法少女ダンデライオン #MagicalGirlDandelion

I spent 20 minutes combing livestreams w/ bff that would likely have thirsty comments to just get a sense for how those kinda comments are phrased (for Wicked Spot lmao) but couldn't find anything... The one time I actually wanna see a gooner comment, I can't find any...

On a side note, I translate indie BL too. should be able announce soon >:)

I'm translating this! I read v.1 when it came out, and it latched onto my eyeballs and wouldn't let go until the book was done. Seriously one of the most fun and addicting things I've read in ages. I was so shocked to get the offer and it's seriously an honor to translate Sal Jiang-sensei's...

#ウィキッドスポット の英訳を担当させていただくことになりました！以前にも読んだことがあって、軽く目を通すつもりが夢中になり、愛しすぎて正気を失いました。翻訳依頼をいただいたときは叫びそうになりました！！！！微力ながら、少しでも作品の素晴らしさを広めるお手伝いができたら光栄です。

Got my votes in for the American Manga Awards! Can't wait to see who wins--and a huge congrats to everyone who got nominated!!

V2 is up for preorder!!

Pre-order v2! The yuri vibes do be intensifying!!

(I'm talking about work btw)

Shoutout to my friend who just helped me make one of the most complicated excel formulas I have ever seen in my life. You excel wizards deserve a permanent fucking medal.

I can't wait to have a copy in my hands 🤩

I'm so, so happy that we finally get to talk about this now! Me and Finn K. will be "reprising" our roles as translator and letterer on the physical release. And of course, huge congrats to Mizuho-sensei, and I hope the print release furthers the success of Magical Girl Dandelion!

Thank you guys (whoever you are) so much for all the awards :-; I really appreciate it!!! (Though that thank you for being born one is a little ominous lmao ;^^)

I'm a simple man. I see a magical girl with a kyu gunto, I read the manga.

Beat’s Bizarre Adventure: MAGICAL GIRL DANDELION gets off to promising start This week, Beat's Bizarre Adventure covers MAGICAL GIRL DANDELION, TONY TAKEZAKI'S NEON GENESIS EVANGELION, and LOST IN REVERIE.

SOOO excited that the new Magical Girl Dandelion chapter drops TONIGHT on @viz.com ! 🥳🥳🥳 Can't wait to be reunited with these wonderful #shoujo characters as I have deeply missed them!! Hopefully later this year will get a physical license because I NEED them on my shelf! 🤞

I just submitted my translation for A Curtain Call for You v.1... I think it might be my best translation yet. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Satou-sensei is such a good writer though, so she really just sets the path and I only need follow it...!

2025

Just wanna shout out Marcos Vinicius, letterer of the EN version of Rugby Rumble #最強の詩. The seamlessness with which he replaced parts or all of the author's handwriting is absolutely wild.

Tsumiki Ogami, chapter 53 is out in English on Viz! Moritaka thinking himself into and out of a hole! Next week, the series is going on break, so see ya in two weeks I think! www.viz.com/vizmanga/cha...

I just received comps from Kodansha for 23:45, by Ohana, a lovely BL. This is my first time seeing my work in print, and it’s super cool! Holding the books in my hand is an indescribable feeling… We did a lot of work on this, I hope readers enjoy it!

Secret Translator Technique #1!!!!!!!!! Eat lots of protein during the workday so that your brain stays awake!! Creative translation burns calories like you wouldn't believe!!!!

Hope You’re Happy, Lemon gets licensed for English by Seven Seas! Amazing news for the author and the series, and a huge congratulations on this win!

I'll be lettering this one

www.viz.com/vizmanga/cha... Tsumiki Ogami's Not-so-Ordinary Life ch. 52 is up! We'll be doing weekly simulpubs from now on! To start, you get the first 3 chapters of volume 1 as a preview, then chapters 48-52~! We'll be working to fill in the gap overtime! #尾守つみきと奇日常。

It's always sad to hear about manga at risk of getting cancelled. This reminds me of 狼とリボルバー (Wolf and Revolver). It got cancelled so now all I can hope for is that enough people buy volume 2 showing the author people have interest so maybe a sequel series can be written someday...

I created a google doc explaining how to buy A Curtain Call For You digitally and physically to help prevent it from being cancelled! If you live in the US, a single Japanese volume costs less than $5!! Guide Here: docs.google.com/document/d/e... #君のためのカーテンコール

A Curtain Call For You, a brilliant yuri is still likely in danger of being cancelled! If enough buy the volumes, we can help prevent its cancellation, letting the authors to tell the rest of this beautiful story. How to buy it: tinyurl.com/mwc4j2wn #君のためのカーテンコール
