The lettering in the new Mushishi is so good that in places it's almost as if the sfx had been bilingual from the beginning. Spectacular work from @kernedout.bsky.social on a delightful translation by my colleague Andres Oliver in a package edited by @magpon.bsky.social. This belongs on your shelf.
There's a new English release of Mushishi, lettered by Phil Christie (@kernedout.bsky.social). I adore how Urushibara-sensei utilizes texture in her art, and how the sound effects inherit that texture. Phil does an amazing job replicating that with subtitled SFX. Notes in alt text!

Hi. I do manga stuff for Kodansha with a team of cool people. I'll post panels from manga I enjoy working on like A Sign of Affection, To Your Eternity, [REDACTED], & [REDACTED]. I translate when the mood strikes, most recently Atsushi Kaneko's Search & Destroy. I foster many cats & fear for us all.
