Sometimes, letterering for manga means working in tandem with the Japanese SFX instead of rewriting them!

In CLAMP Premium Collection Tokyo Babylon, Vol. 7, letterer @kernedout.bsky.social skillfully blends the English "ZWOOSH" text with it's Japanese counterpart for a seamless reading experience!

Four frames comic about two types of Isekai I found and read lately. The first frame shows a young man with a sword. He says: "My name is Josh Itcantbehelped and I used to be a loser before a car crash brought me to a world where I am a god and half the population is made of SLAVE CATGIRLS". The second frame shows him crying and clenching his fist, with many a cat behind him, wearing bikinis. He says "To make it here I guess I have no choice but to own as many catgirls as I can...how tragic...". The third frame shows another character from another type of Isekai. She's a woman with a fluffy dress. She says "My name is Elise Robespierre and after being hit by a truck of terminal cancer I am now in my favorite 900 pages novel. With many a hot man.". The fourth frame shows her giving a board presentation to citizens, with graphs and pictures of plants on it. She says: "Hello citizens. This is my plan to modernize the agricultural system and prevent any further plague by creating medicine [...] taxes which ..." the text becomes unreadable as she keeps talking to her captive audience.

Been trying to read some isekai lately.

It's a double dose of green yuri today thanks to letterer @brandonbovia.bsky.social!

Lettering handwritten notes doesn't necessarily mean rewriting everything from scratch! A keen eye for font selection and deft hand at skillful placement makes all the difference in a smooth reading experience!

A screenshot of Necronomico's German sub track. The German line opens with "ChatGPT said:", a leftover script note.

Beyond disappointed to find Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show's subs on @crunchyroll.com are blatantly and openly ChatGPT.

This is not acceptable. How can we be expected to pay for a service that clearly doesn't care about the quality of its products?
