Fun fact: most E-J dictionaries will give the "right" def of 日和る (hiyoru) which is "to wait and see"/"noncommittal" (comes from "wait & see for clear weather.") However, nowadays this word means "scared" or "chickenhearted." Same word from this famous line in Tokyo Revengers.
okay, since we got the jonouchi air max collab, when's the bakura new balance deal?
too many to list but Brandon, Michelle, Kyla, and Finn are masters of their craft. @brandonbovia @kyla_aiko @matchafinn https://t.co/g158znNcET
i tell c Ch 4 The name of this parody of the drama Winter Sonata uses 其方 (sonata/"you") instead of ソナタ (sonata) and fake Bae Yong-joon uses it in the sentence to the side ("You're the criminal?") lol
Kaiju No. 8 Ch 9: I spent an inordinate amount of time getting the "weight" of this scene right and it seemed to work! Accuracy, word length & flow, bubble size, are things you need to take into account for manga TL. Be conscious of your medium. #怪獣8号
I've only worked with @matchafinn for a short while, but he's always busting his rear and a natural bundle of positivity that it's infectious. On Do Retry, MamaYuyu, Kyokuto Necromance, and Yokai Buster Murakami, he gives his 110% and it shows.
you have no idea how good of a decision it was to let me work on a series like city hunter.
Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 40: probably my top 10 favorite panels to translate of all time bc i get to channel my inner shitposter.
Undead 70: Spring plays chohan, the Japanese cup (bamboo cup usually) and dice game. You bet on whether the result is even or odd. It's an old form of bakuto (gambling) and probably the most simple. (It's more attached to yakuza nowadays.)
Kaiju No. 8 Ch 103: Just wanted to give @brandonbovia the lettering master extraordinaire their props for touch up on this panel. The Good: It was only one page a few chapters ago, so no trekking for where it was. The Bad: Replacing all that lmao.
アンデラ45話、不運弾は順番に番号が付けられてるがどうやって英語で表現するかと悩んでいるとfirst finger second finger等も考えたが何かダサいネーミングだなと。そこで、ファーストセカンド等の後にそれに対応する手の指の名前をつけたらいいんじゃないかなぁ、というご勝手な判断ですw #アンデラ
