∙Simuls are lettered within 24 hours
∙Some letterers do 2-3 simuls (same day)

A colorful square that says “Repost this if trans and non-binary people are safe with you, and transphobia has absolutely no place on your account”

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.”

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.
