Hey there! I'm a Freelance Manga Letterer who has worked on titles for many different publishers such as Seven Seas, Yen Press, J-Novel Club, and Kodansha. These are some of the titles that I've worked on so far. This will be an ever-growing list, more titles will be added as they come out.
It's such an honour to be featured in something such as this, something I would have never expected.
It's definitely a great feeling to know that the work I do is being appreciated.

Manga lettering, like composting in animation, is a job that's often overlooked despite its importance to translating a work of art. I spoke with some manga letterers about what the job entails and challenges the mostly freelance pool of typographers face.

Being a Manga Letterer Is More Than Having a Fun Job
Typesetting popular manga like Dandadan, Kaiju No. 8, and Gokurakugai can be crushing for its pool of mostly freelance workers.

This is pretty par the course for One Peace Books, I make sure to avoid them at all costs because of things like this.
This is a masterclass of what NOT to do as a letterer.

Oof, the staff at One Peace Books were slacking off big-time if they let this kind of lettering slide.

I've been kicking the can down the road for setting up some kind of portfolio webpage, but I'm honestly not sure if there's any point in it these days.

I’ll be honest, I never really bothered to fully get myself integrated here, but that other site might actually become illegal in Canada soon due to their stupid rules and changes.
So it’s time to actually try to get myself acclimated here.
