Happy #LettererAppreciationDay! Here's a list of some manga letterers doing amazing work that I admire. I'll keep updating it throughout the day 👇
Brandon Bovia @brandonbovia, whose work on the Transformers manga still blows me away. Find him in Weekly Shonen Jump lettering Kaiju No. 8, Dragon Ball Super, and Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin. Also check out his work in Snow White with the Red Hair.
Abby Blackman @dydreemblvr, whose huge body of work includes Soul Eater, Beyond the Clouds, and Erased. I covered her lettering on Cells at Work here 👇 https://twitter.com/salinsley/status/1205888865497747457
Vanessa Satone @vsatone, whose work includes One Piece, Kimi ni Todoke, Prince of Tennis, and Weekly Shonen Jump's Burn the Witch
Kimberly Pham @kimberlypham__, whose work includes Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun, Bibliophile Princess, To Be Next to You, and The Knight Cartoonist and Her Orc Editor
Lys Blakeslee, whose very very long list of works includes Yona of the Dawn, Black Butler, Witch Hat Atelier, Yowamushi Pedal, and Noragami.
Deron Bennett @deronbennett, whose works include Cats of the Louvre, Sunny, and Ai Yori Aoshi. I think about his sound effect design in Ping Pong all the time, and I covered it in this thread 👇 https://twitter.com/salinsley/status/1280961744563843072
Paige Pumphrey @PaigeyPumphrey, whose works include Rent-A-Girlfriend, Ghost in the Shell, and Missions of Love
Annaliese Christman @kaitou_ace, whose works include Pokémon Adventures, Black Clover, Naruto, and Blue Flag
Evan Hayden @electrofreeze, whose works include Maria the Virgin Witch, O Maidens in Your Savage Season, and Blood on the Tracks. His lettering in Land of the Lustrous is exceptional, and you can read more about it here 👇 https://twitter.com/salinsley/status/1203351199447162882
Bianca Pistillo @biancarts_0, whose works include Way of the Househusband, Hi Score Girl, K-ON! (Italian version), and The Boy and The Beast. Househusband's gags land largely due to her thoughtful lettering, which I've covered here 👇 https://twitter.com/salinsley/status/1180432410086985728
Phil Christie @PhilSChristie, whose works include Sue and Tai-chan, Afterschool Bitchcraft, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, and Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest
Snir Aharon @SnirAharon, whose works include Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Jujutsu Kaisen, We Never Learn, and Time Paradox Ghostwriter
Calling it a day for now, even though there are so many names I didn't include. I consider myself very lucky to be a part of this talented, supportive community of manga letterers. From the bottom of my heart, thank you 🙏
