Happy letterer appreciation day! I love our little community and hope everyone doesn’t have to work today. Rest your wrists!!
Today, September 1st is Letterer Appreciation Day. Celebrated on Gaspar Saladino's birthday who was one of the greatest comic book letterers to ever pick up a pen. So, please appreciate the artistry of lettering which is more than just words on a comic book page.

Happy Letterer Appreciation Day! Letterers are the unsung heroes of manga localization. Readers, I encourage you to jump to the copyright page and take a look at who the letterer is before you read that next volume. Then you can appreciate their work even more!

Some insight on why Kagurabachi simuls look different.

∙Simuls are lettered within 24 hours
∙Some letterers do 2-3 simuls (same day)
∙Chapters can arrive at random times
∙Corrections are done in-house, & text needs to be editable
∙It needs to be a font we have a license for

Hello!

There are a few weeks left to vote in the #AmericanMangaAwards, and since I don't often talk about my process here, I'd like to make a thread about my lettering work on Love Laid Bare by Ouchi Kaeru for @fakku.net to consider for Best Lettering. 🙏

compiled some ways I create tapered points for retouching manga speed lines! most of these don't require a tablet at all. It's honestly a coin toss which method I end up using... 🙈

Hey I’m seeing this going around a lot and unless you yourself are trans or nonbinary, maybe don’t presume to label yourself “safe.” That’s something only a trans or nonbinary person can decide for themselves maybe limit it to the “transphobia has no place on your account.”

Typesetting popular manga like Dandadan, Kaiju No. 8, and Gokurakugai can be crushing for its pool of mostly freelance workers.

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.

If you thought the manga lettering course on udemy was already amazing, it’s only going to get better and better as Gonzalo will be continuously updating and adding new lessons to this course!

All of this for no additional cost from the main course itself!
