Looks like the front cover of Golden Sakura vol. 1 is up on Mahjong Pros’ website! I’m quite happy with how the logo for this one turned out 🌸 mahjongpros.com/collections/...
We at Titan Manga are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ryōichirō Kezuka. It was an honor to publish his series Record Journey, with the first volume having recently been released in English. [1/2]
I’m happy to reveal that I’ll be handling the print covers for “D-Genesis” (LN) and “Haibara's Teenage New Game+” (LN) both of which have just been announced for print by J-Novel! Very excited that I get the chance to work on both these titles!
I’m excited to say that I’m working on “Golden Sakura”, which was just announced by Mahjong Pros at Anime Expo. I’ll be handling the design and lettering! 🌸
Just a little collage of some hand-drawn sfx/text I did today~
Ahhh I love the art style for Black Witch Mirror! I can’t wait to letter it 😍
Here’s a preview of Record Journey Vol. 2! I really love lettering this series 🥹
The beloved manga of fleeting encounters, forgotten records, and quiet moments is back! Take a peek inside. RECORD JOURNEY VOL. 2 is an essential continuation for readers who loved the first volume and for fans of all music. Pre-order your copy now! #recordjourney
Like stories about bad girls and anti-heroes? Something wicked this way comes, and that something is Misa Kuroi. The revival of a 70s cult classic manga, Eko Eko Azarak Reborn is out NOW. tinyurl.com/mvyzevar
Chapters 1-10 of “The Woebegone Wonder Girl Wants to be Wicked” are up on Bookwalker! bookwalker.com/series/3BJPV... I had the honor of lettering chapters 1-16 (aka Vols 1-3) of this series It’s so silly and cute and I really enjoyed working on it 🥹 #manga #lettering
Took a quick glance thru my jp copy of Colori Colore Creare vol 2 and it looks just as cute as vol 1 🥹 I’m so excited to work on it!
I also did the cover design/layout for Old Country Bumpkin vol. 10 (LN)! This volume was interesting to work on as the art is set up kind of different from the previous volumes. I’m curious if vol 11’s art will follow this format or the previous one #design #graphicdesign #lightnovel #jnovel
I did the cover design/layout for Repeated Vice vol 4! I really love the color scheme for this one #design #graphicdesign #lightnovel #jnovel
Record Journey volume 1 is out in English now. The Japanese volumes have super cool book design, so I wanted to see how they compare. The biggest visual difference is the gloss finish. Colors appear much brighter, and there's less texture in the image compared to the Japanese matte dust jacket.
Record Journey Vol. 1 releases today! This is one of the titles I’ve been most excited about. I’ve been interested in this series long before it even got licensed and as soon as I saw Titan announce it, I begged my editor to let me work on it haha 😆 I hope everyone enjoys it! #manga #lettering
Eko Eko Azarak Reborn vol 1 releases today! This was my first time working on a horror manga 👻 #manga #lettering
Proud to be the Villainess LN vol 2’s Cover ✨ I’m really enjoying working on these covers but I am curious why all the characters on them are missing at least one shoe/sock. Like is there a reason for the bare feet? 😂 #design #jnovel #lightnovel
