The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy At All volume 4 is out! Here's some fun bits of lettering I did for the English version. *the difference in green in these screenshots between the JP/EN versions is down to I assume export settings for different platforms

In a lot of cases I would use fonts for text like this, but I decided to handwrite these because honestly, it's just easier to make it fit and flow with the art. There's very little wiggle room. (I actually had to do it twice, this was mixed case originally sob)

Brandon points out one of the most vital skills for a manga letterer. Retouching art is something to approach in steps. Fully white out the JP text and isolate that area. Get the broad strokes like boundaries out of the way before doing any detail work.

I just came across the @japan-cambot.bsky.social account, which posts footage from four random public webcams around Japan every hour. On top of being a nice change of pace to have stuff like this show up on the feed, there is some potential art reference material there too!
