Reading the last volume of My Dress Up Darling in English feels oddly sad despite my finishing writing a chapter yesterday.

✨ it's hiromu arakawa of course it's good. what did you expect
✨ arakawa's art just keeps getting better and better
✨ in typical fashion the plot starts rolling and it just doesn't stop and yes it is VERY fun to be dragged along by whatever the hell is cooking

What do Daemons of the Shadow Realm and The Pitt have in common? And why is it marketing? Find out when I chat about all the things with @behindthemanga.com!

Anime employment shifts to full-time positions Plus: Consumption tax reform sees limited anime labor impact; Toho posts record sales and net profit; Bandai Namco launches 'The Idolmaster' English marketing; and more

Permanent, full-time employment arrangements are growing at Japanese anime studios, over a decade of labor surveys found, challenging an oft-repeated narrative that the anime industry relies mostly on freelance animators.

It's #portfolioday! I'm a freelance manga letterer who has lent his design skills to the art of localization on close to 300 books. You might recognize a few of the things I've worked on!

A pane of the manga Otaku Elf. A girl is on the left side of the panel, with a tall speech bubble to her right. The text "Wow, Woofer?" is written in the middle of the bubble. The upper left border of the bubble has a hand-written piece of text in Japanese. The lower left border of the bubble has the english text "Yay!"

Reading order is more important than 1:1 placement fidelity with stuff like asides. Reading Japanese from right to left makes it clear that the aside comes second, but the English text is concentrated in the middle of the bubble on a vertical scale. Moving the aside down keeps the order clear.
