I’ve been trying to collect books focused on logo/cover design of manga and just got a new one! “新しいコミックスのデザイン” The first part of the book has case studies for 3 titles and then the rest are two page spreads featuring different series with info about their logos and design #manga #graphicdesign

Viernes de nuevos cómics, parte 1: Anunciado TRACT de Shintaro Kago para Moztros (@moztros.bsky.social). Una locura sin diálogo, por lo cual me tuve que poner creativo para el diseño de tapas e interiores. Creo que quedó algo a la altura de su demencia. Abril 2026.

it's simple. i see magical girl dandelion, i repost.

Oh dear, what did he do!?

When you meet your childhood friend again, but a lot more has changed than you realized (1/6)

Hey, I lettered My Favorite VTuber Is Scary IRL! It's about a vtuber with social anxiety and the DoorDash guy who gets her delivery orders. Y'know, just your typical romcom setup This story leans more toward comedy, but the main couple kind of reminds me of Horimiya bsky.app/profile/squa...

working on this volume of bug ego, lemme break down how it usually goes: -1 day for laying out the book/typesetting in indesign -a month and a half of doing sfx/redraws this is my plea to the lettering gods. tell the japanese pubs to give us layered files. please!!!!!! i'd already be done by now 💔

Come on down to the Dungeon that Surely Slaughters Adventurers! We've got kobolds...

In murmurs and whispers, the people living in the shadow of Mount Hinatsugi recount the legendof the female demon living in the mountain. Be they students or journalists, anyone who seeks the truth behind the myth is destined to disappear… 📖 Hinatsugimura is available now! buff.ly/x1n5yTo

heyoooooooo!! i'll be one half of the letttering team for this series!!! i love love love this series and i'm super excited to get to work on it 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

ANNOUNCEMENT 2 As you are likely already aware, @starfruitbooks.bsky.social founder and publisher Matt Haasch passed away last September. In line with his wishes, I have been working with Matt’s mother and the rest of the Star Fruit Books team to ensure a continuation to their publishing work.

Really happy to see this. Not just for my titles with Starfruit Books, but for Matt's legacy as a whole. Thank you so much for doing this, Glacier!

Mahoutsukai no Yoru will be releasing theatrically in 2026 www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDHM...

I am lettering this beautiful book please support GBB it's the best 🤲

I've been getting back into comics while I wait for more info from my concept job, and I thought I'd make a post about something very important to me, which is COMIC PANEL VARIATION and HOW TO THINK ABOUT IT.

Happy Book Day! My graphic novel Speaking in Pictures is finally out in the world! I planned this book for over 20 years and spent 7 years writing and drawing it, so I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I did creating it 🥳 www.visuallanguagelab.com/sip

was gonna wait until the book was out or the EN cover reveal (and may say so again at that time) but it's on the website sooo getting to work on gundam again yippee!!!!

Spending a little time now to save a lot of time later.

ancillary project count: 9 (Vigilantes, Smash!!, light novels, Team-Up Missions, data book 2, box set 1, box set 2, how-to-draw book, art book) That's 39 spinoff books/booklets; dangerously close to the core series' 42. had to do a chunk of this work on the Osaka -> Yokohama shinkansen 🫤🚄

And now Yen Press with a big presentation. Mark de Vera updates retailers on the difficulty they have getting information about Yen books. They are available now through Hachette, however....yesterday it was hinted they might be available through Lunar? Things in motion....

the highlight of the year was definitely the otaku love connection 01 winning best translation! and then minami and I getting to have a meeting & dinner with the mangaka and editor in tokyo in november! just the hugest honor and I’m still so proud!!

Oh this one's me

Extremely late, not the prettiest formatting, and missing six titles, BUT: This is (almost) everything I worked on last year. I've been extremely excited about a lot of these series, and am so stoked to have had a hand in getting them out in the world.

better late than never, here’s my 2025 manga wrapped! (everything I edited that published in 2025) 28 total volumes!! pretty much the same as last year, but lots of new series got underway and a few wrapped up! more new series to come in 2026…

You wouldn’t translate a car’s ハンドル as “handle”. You wouldn’t translate a ハイタッチ as “high touch”. So why would you translate 「」 as “”? True facts: 99% of the time, you shouldn’t, and here’s why. Translation theory thread!🧵👇

We're incredibly honored to have the ALA's GNCRT nominate Confession, Dogs and Punching Bags, Before You Go Extinct and the first volumes of both GAEA-TIME the Gigantis and Last Samurai Standing as part of their 2025 Best Graphic Novels for Adults Reading List! https://ow.ly/zJuw50Ye9ov

SOON SOON SOON SOON SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited to get these @matchafinn.bsky.social sound effects in my hands!

I’m translating this!

So, the fine folks over @jnovelclub.bsky.social gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse… I’m stoked to announce that I’m editing Adachi-sensei’s Sister Mafioso! This is a real fun series, and I’m excited for y’all to check it out!

I'll be on a digital panel with Victoria Esnard (main host and speaker) at Citrus Con! It's an R18+ convention, though our actual panel will not contain especially crazy levels of spice, ha ha! www.citruscon.com It's looking like it might also end up being the my debut use of my vtuber model!

J-Novel just announced it which means I can reveal my new series! I did the logo (& other design work) for the “Proud to Be the Villainess” light novel! I really love the covers for this series and can’t wait to work on all of them 🤩 #lightnovel #jnovel

Some of my clients need text frames aligned to the edges of balloons/boxes while lettering in InDesign. I've been working on a script for the past few months to possibly automate this process. Sharing a small demo.

New chapter of Tsumiki Ogami! READ HERE: bit.ly/3O6McWg #尾守つみきと奇日常。 の英語版が更新されました！よかったら今回の翻訳裏話も下にあります（英語のみで失礼します…） Also trying out a new type of mini-MINI translation thread below, heh heh... Check out my notes about the translation this week below

Excited to finally be able to share this news!🎉🎉 How to Draw Chibi by Chiharu Yumenouchi is coming out this November from @abramskana.bsky.social ⭐ Translated by me!

Practice sketch of Lilisen from Tower Dungeon

I haven't done any lettering showcases in a while, and never did Beyblade X volume 4 or 5, so I figure I'll just do both in one thread!

feels good to be back on the sfx train again

Today on Okazu - Out of The Cocoon Guest reviewer @swirly313.bsky.social calls this collection of shorts by Yuriko Hara “near-perfect” with four original stories and a bonus sequel to “Cocoon, Entwined.” Out now from @yenpress.com. okazu.yuricon.com/2026/02/11/o...

"It's no skin off my jaw."

IT'S FINALLY FEBRUARY 10TH WHICH MEANS I CAN TELL YOU THAT I'M THE LETTERER FOR THIS SUPER CUTE AND SILLY SERIES!!!!! And this is my Square Enix debut!!!! Go grab a copy and have a cozy, goofy read!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Happy to say I’m editing this new rom-com that challenges stereotypes! @cdcubed.bsky.social is translating and @matchafinn.bsky.social is lettering, so you know it’s a good time! 💜

Oh my goodness, volume three of The Failure at God School was SO good!! THAT PLOT TWIST!! 😱😱😱😱 Nervous and excited to keep reading and DEFINITELY recommend picking it up!! Thank you @yenpress.com for sending me a review copy and thank you @beneaththetangles.bsky.social to review this #manga!

I'm doing a new series for Yen out in May (Every Adventure Needs a Weapon!: weapon-smith girl with chuuni design sense in a fantasy world much more akin to Delicious in Dungeon than isekai slop) and it really grabbed me when she invents the chainsaw(man) from first principles

Looks like Lady Bumpkin & Her Lord Villain Vol. 7 is up on J-Novel’s site, which means I can share the cover! A little sad that I only have one more volume left to work on. This series has been one of my absolute favorite titles to design for. 🥹 #lightnovel #graphicdesign
