MyGO's environmental designs were really good though. Maybe it's kind of heavyhanded, but I loved how much personality there was in character's houses/bedrooms
It's a lot more visually memorable than It's MyGO, which I guess is the obvious closest comparison. It had some cool shots, but they were few and far between
I don't quite love how Girls Band Cry looks visually, but it at least has a distinct style. It's clearly inspired by anime, but it doesn't try to imitate traditional anime as closely as possible, nor is it too unconventional - which could be distracting in a drama
Why does ashidematoi use θΆ³ζ, when ζθΆ³ and other words starting with ζθΆ³ exist?
Hey, I lettered My Favorite VTuber Is Scary IRL! It's about a vtuber with social anxiety and the DoorDash guy who gets her delivery orders. Y'know, just your typical romcom setup
This story leans more toward comedy, but the main couple kind of reminds me of Horimiya

Chapter 25 of Koi yori Aoku is basically just a montage of Tsukasa not understanding why everyone is embarrassed by the idea of showing their writing to their friends, then learning why first-hand
Extremely cute
My favorite source for learning Japanese, zexy dot net slash lovenews
I can't tell if this a typo or a pun in Amazon's subtitles for Sorairo Utility
I'm guessing a pun?
HOT OFF THE PRESS! π₯
An introverted delivery boy befriends a shy but intimidating shut-in who happens to be his favorite VTuber IRL!
My Favorite VTuber Is Scary IRL, vol. 1 goes on sale February 24th!
This manga also got me thinking, I would absolutely watch a sequel to Ingrid Goes West, that movie where Aubrey Plaza stalks an Instagram influencer, that borrows the impersonation premise of Polaris wa Kienai
Having an idol named Sora and a fan named Mizuumi is blunt, but effective
Vol 1 raises lots of questions about where the story might go. How did Sora die? Is she actually dead? Did they know each other? How far is Mizuumi willing to go to keep Sora culturally relevant?
Started reading Polaris wa Kienai, a manga about a girl who starts impersonating her favorite idol who died 2 years earlier
She begins by uploading videos online, pretending like she's just back from a break, but when she starts doing street performances, things get crazy
Sadly Healer Girl played it safe and was a pretty unremarkable slice of life show, one that avoided getting too deep into the question of exactly how different their society is from ours. But at least it wasn't actively bad, I guess
It seems like singing is extremely at good at healing minor diseases and injuries, but isn't that good at chronic diseases, and is really labor-intensive. Recordings of singing being slightly effective is interesting too
The Healer Girl universe is actually pretty cool, having this magical singing in modern times, coexisting with "normal" medicine, science, governments, and other institutions.
It's so funny and so based to release 10 anison covers in 2021 where 5 (five) songs are from Haruhi, and two more are from other Kyoani shows
The audio mixing for the songs in the Healer Girl anime feels really inconsistent, there's a lot of songs where the vocals are too quiet, including the OP
It's a real shame because their Voices choral anison cover albums are fantastic
Those are some powerful ellipses
Akebi vol 11 is heavier than every previous volume combined, and it pulls off the dramatic turn excellently
Got some interesting deja vu from Lanzhu's episode in Nijigasaki S2
The way these floor tile patterns intersect is insane, imagine trying to lay it out exactly like that IRL
All 3 of the new main characters in Love Live Nijigasaki S2 are great overall
It's awesome that they cast actual bilingual people for Lanzhu and Mia, such a stark contrast from the Engrish in stuff like Shin Godzilla
Shioriko's episode might be my favorite yet about someone struggling with doubts about becoming an idol.
Looks like her seiyuu's first anime role was as Daiba Nana in Revue Starlight, what an amazing debut. I've been meaning to rewatch that with JP subtitles someday
Cover Debut! - Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree, Vol. 8
Aseoβs search for the Dectus Medallions leads him to the Village of the Albinaurics, where a shocking spectacle awaits him!!

Looking back on the variety of manga I lettered last year, I can't help but be reminded of the inane squabbling that came after a translator of shoujo manga said they usually didn't like shoujo manga
Absolutely some of the dumbest complaints I've ever seen
A Man Who Defies the World of BL Vol. 1-4, Doll-Kara Vol. 10, Duchess in the Attic Vol. 6, Holoearth Chronicles Side:E Yamato Phantasia Vol. 1-2, I'm a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic Vol. 4-6, Make It Stop! I'm Not Strong... It's Just My Sword! Vol. 1-2, Mercedes and the Waning Moon Vol. 2-4, Monster Tribe Vol. 1-2, No Game No Life Chapter 2: Eastern Union Vol. 3, Otherside Picnic Vol. 13-14, Phantom Invasion Vol. 1-2, Tearmoon Empire Vol. 9, The Tiger Won't Eat the Dragon Yet Vol. 4, With You, Our Love Will Make It Through Vol. 3-4, Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree Ch. 56-76, I Was a Sacrifice but Now I'm a Consort to a God?! ~All the Princesses are Fluffy~ Ch. 59-70, Black or White, Vol. 10, Therapy Game Restart Vol. 5
Here's all the manga I lettered in 2025 (or lettered in 2024 but only announced this year)
I adjusted my layout from last year to include the publishers, because why not
A few of these series ended last year or will end soon, so I have room in my schedule for more work. RTs appreciated!
Uma Musume's super-long phone receivers that accommodate horse ears are a fun recurring bit, but I wish they'd done the same with their smartphones. Imagine phones with like 1:5 aspect ratios, there would've been a lot of room for shenanigans
She beat the game in about 10 hours with a tiny bit of brute forcing and hints, which is probably about the average playthrough. It's cool that a puzzle game with such a specific historical/cultural setting can be experienced by everyone
Watching Hakase Fuyuki's playthrough of Obra Dinn, it's interesting to see some of things that she gets stuck on
Like the fact that Signor isn't a given name, or realizing that people were grouped by occupation in the drawings
The loc work seems fantastic, sasuga 8-4
All the other recurring background characters fill out the world and make the whole racing ecosystem feel big and important.
And it certainly doesn't hurt that they're all cute
Screenshot from Uma Musume: Pretty Derby Season 2 from episode 8 of Rice Shower during her race against Mejiro McQueen.
Screenshot from Uma Musume: Pretty Derby Season 2 from episode 10 of Twin Turbo after her most famous win, which was broadcasted for Toukai Teiou to see.
This may be kind of obvious, but Uma Musume S2 benefits a lot from having a TON of characters. Sports anime can be predictable when side chars exist just to teach some lesson; Uma has so many that I had no idea Rice Shower and Twin Turbo would be the ones to play such big roles
