I love working in games, and it's been enjoyable working on some bigger titles for the past few years, but the sheer length of these projects means 1-2 credits in game per year, making for a shorter portfolio than I'd really like. I want to get my name on more things and show off what I can do!
Work's been a little dry this month, so if anyone is in the need of an experienced J>E translator/reviewer with 6.5 years in game localization, send a message my way! ✨ (boosts greatly appreciated! 🙏)

I learned that the café I referenced for The Stray closed this December. I wasn’t a regular, but I’d loved doing there since high school.

The owners retired, but a young couple will take over. The name and menu will change, yet I’m glad the café will live on ☕️🩷

My 1st full year of creative translation! It's hard to believe it's only been 1.5 years since I started freelancing full time. It honestly feels like a decade (lmao). I am so thankful to so many people for assigning me these beautiful projects, for believing in me, for giving me advice and feedback.

Hello, I'm Lys! This is a companion socmed account to my blog on BL manga. I hope to help introduce BL to those who are not as familiar with the genre but are interested in it, especially library workers.

Finally! It is here!

As expected, fantastic work by @horbinski.bsky.social! 👏

This is the kind of manga (more importantly dōjinshi!) history I have been looking for and proves to be timely for some of the work I'm recently doing.

Who has a good translation for 天然? It feels less insulting than "airhead," but it's still kind of insulting?

Friends, if you are in Naha, you really need to go to Tamatebako. We ate most of the food on the menu and every single dish was shockingly delicious. I love tofu and I was still surprised by how incredible their tofu dishes were.

__Drawing Behind The KeyHole # 5___✍️

I spent an hour drawing this panel.
But the next morning, I felt something was missing🤨
So I redrew it.

I want each page to be the best at the moment.
Maybe That freedom is the best part of making an #IndieComic.

Watching my drawing video made me realized I took too long for one line. I use digital tool, I can redraw even after inking. So I should sketch more efficiently.

It took me 2 hours to edit, but at least I learned something😆

Clip Studio’s 3D primitives are so helpful. You can craft basic objects without special skills!

(PS: it took 2 hours to edit this video😑Will it get faster with practice?)
