happy letterer appreciation day! if you’d like to follow more manga letterers here, I have a list for you: go.bsky.app/8XNn7Eu

Lettered by me and @cranchyroll.com!!!

I am unbelievably excited to say that @lettererbrendo.bsky.social and I are lettering the English release of Billy Bat! Both of us!

I'm having some cute Pretzel stickers printed for ANYC, but I don't think they'll get here in time 😭🫠

VIZ Media quietly added an AI-translated manga to their app and hoped no one would notice. We did. Manga deserves better than cheap, soulless automation. This is a betrayal of translators, fans, and the art form. We don't want your AI translations!

The time I normally spend on manga was freed up so I made the questionable decision to go all-in the American Manga Awards this year. I read everything in (minus one) in New Manga, One-shot, Translation, and Lettering, so here are some thoughts! (I'm biased, so check out Yatta-tachi's reviews too!)

That's why humans' lettering can't be replaced! STOP SUPPORTING AI SHIT!

I’ll be the letterer on this classic manga 💥💥💥

BAM 💥 (via Sanda Vol.3)

Another series knocked the final volume in English! It was a honor to letter this short series, this one required more work than others sometimes need a lot of retouching, but overall I think this deserves the work I did in it and deserves to get a chance to read!
