That awkward moment when my mom gifted me a wallet for my birthday, not knowing that I had just gotten myself a new wallet two weeks ago.

✨ 2025 Quick Review ✨
I returned to editing after a six-month parental leave in January, which meant that the total number of books was not as much as previous years. However! I was able to dive into some new challenges, which includes my first hardcover edition (Mushishi Collector's Edition) (1/?)

Here's all the manga I lettered in 2025 (or lettered in 2024 but only announced this year)
I adjusted my layout from last year to include the publishers, because why not
A few of these series ended last year or will end soon, so I have room in my schedule for more work. RTs appreciated!

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

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!

Daemons of the Shadow Realm: a friend suggested I try this one. 2 twins are prophesized to control daemons & everyone wants their power. the setting is a fakeout of feudal japan & once hell breaks loose ur not sure who's actually the enemy. action/drama with classic Arakawa humor and personality.
