Ah yes, I love the manga “Alice in the Kyolo Foresl”

No picking all the captions and putting them in the translation first before speech bubbles or sound effects. We need the order. This book by Kaoru mori and aki irie is amazing btw and I’d love to see it in english one day.

Sometimes I run into scripts and it’s apparent that the translator (or could be editor changing it up) is having issues with panel order. Manga letterers rarely know Japanese and depend on panel order to get placement right. Go right to left on a page, and in each panel work from top down/right left

Goodbye, Lara, first ep down, looks light it might be an unexpected fave for me this anime season. Great budget and toei 1970s little mermaid visual influences up the wooza one ep in? I’m in. Interested in seeing where this goes

Today I spent some time looking up 80s (most 86) Shojo manga magazine Asuka, and I absolutely adored the covers I saw.

I’m just sitting here going through these books constantly going “gorgeous” and “omg soooo pretty”

careful when you have money burning a hole in your pocket & the urge to have pretty things. Behold my latest matuso hiromi horde. Doujinshi and belles ruelles and a lovely stationary set. Shipping made me upset til I just now saw in person how much I actually did buy. I thought it was a couple books

Rip. I was at the park with my dog when the omocat persona stuff went on sale. FeMC sold out before I got home. No FeMC shirt for me. Anyway here’s a pic of mako at the park.

Using the auction photo since I’m keeping it wrapped up in its box for longer while I figure out where to put it, but I bought a set of yoshitaka amano woodblock prints featuring vampire hunter D and I feel like a dragon with a treasured gem. It just came in and it’s huge Behold my horde

Thankfully the rain stopped just in time for metric to hit the stage. They were awesome, and played my first album fave, combat baby

Went to Fuji bakery this weekend and saw they had caneles. It just so happens I lettered a manga recently that featured them and Assam milk tea, so I’m living the e manga like the need I am. This is The Gentleman, the Cat & the Tearoom by Molicoross, coming out in November from Kana.

I know of a bookie hentai artist that has lizards and created a whole non hentai series so he could draw more lizards.

Ugh, well there goes my plan to just keep using the Japanese app for my previous Japanese and English bookwalker purchases. Now I'm just abandoning the English site all together. I hate this. Their new site is horrible and I rather just buy on kindle from here on out.

When you’re visiting Japan but your ride home leaves your because you’re distracted by a shiba

So my iPad updated iOS and now my Bluesky looks like this? I freaking hate this, make it full screen again. I don’t see any obvious buttons to fix this, ugh

My tomadachi island is filled with fandom faves, and I’m starting to notice they’d prob all be considered obnoxious assholes I prob couldn’t stand irl. Anyway here’s my lestat

Big haul from Barnes and noble preorders today. That grimoire witch hat atelier edition is massive. Love all the new color pages tho

Holy shit, hideko mizuno’s fire was licensed and it’s coming out later this year!?! And also, why didn’t they as ME to letter it lol. For real tho, I would have loved to uncivilizedbooks.com/fire/

I bought this in both hardcover and audiobook since I listen to a lot of audiobooks while working and knew I usually enjoy Ilona Andrews books (always a fun time) and this was so fun. Their answer to the isekai/portal genre and now I have a book hangover. When’s the next one come out?? I want it now

Had to run to my kinokuniya today to pick up my hana to yums subscription I may or may not have started just for random yona of the dawn goodies. Also grabbed the new matsuo Hiromi artbook while there

Got a comp copy of Tozy Noxy Foresty Forest by Noboru Segawa in today and I’m super happy with how it turned out. Excited to work on more of this cozy little horror series. Comes out May 26th from Yen Press

My husband knows that if our house is on fire, we grab our dog, then we grab my signed Witch Hat Atelier Reporduction book and my signed Kaoru Mori print

Finished the other Bennett sister today and it was a lovely bit of fanfic with some fun 1995 pride and prejudice Easter eggs. A lot more fun than murder at pemberley

I think the My Life is Murder show with Lucy Lawless is perhaps giving me an incorrect assumption that Aussies love bright amazing colors and dress impeccably. Like maybe they DO, but I don’t wanna be disappointed. Like I’m for real pausing and appreciating outfits. Way to go costume designer

I can’t even read my books anymore on the Japanese website because when I do it sends me tot the broken English website I can’t even migrate my account to. This shit is so infuriating.

Reminiscing over moyoco anno tonight with some friends. I present some of my signed treasures lol God I wish she found a larger following here so we’d get more stuff. Her stuff was released before the market was ready or something.

I don’t buy a lot of manga by chapter but I sure as heck preordered the next peach offering for the imperial court when someone told me it popped up Really wish it’d get a physical release cause I hate reading it chapter by chapter on my iPad

Damn thing feels like a library bound book. I hate it. And it’s a bummer cause I really liked the cover design of this one.

Having fun experimenting with some scanned sfx to match a super analog/everything is hand drawn manga but figuring out how best to match sizing without printing every page sucks. That and I do miss having an actual drawing table.

Another week of announcements, another week without the sad little mushroom witch manga my soul needs. Somebody give me Champignon Witch *cries*
