Today we're going to talk about "Font".
There are several fonts in the Japanese manga.
I'm going to talk about the most important of them all, the M6 Mincho font.
"M6" is a Signature phrase and It is a font that the author uses to give meaning to it. +1
This is what Kawakubo said on his radio show in 2014.
Kodansha's Fujikawa also mentioned it on Twitter.
And this is not limited to SNK.
Shonen manga, shoujo manga, it's all the same.
Recognize that this is the "rules of manga" in Japan. +2
Let's take a look at Fujikawa's Twitter example to see the actual difference.
Blue is normal font A (anti).
Red is important font M6.
Let's take a look at the manga. +3
Let me explain in more depth.
These are the three scenes in which Hange sentenced himself to pass away.
Erwin(ch84) and Floch(ch132) are normal font.
Levi(ch115) is M6 font. +4
As you all know, Levi's death was a lie by Hange.
At this point, many Japanese predicted that Levi would not be dead. +5
Next, here.
This scene from ch112.
M6 font is just Mikasa's line .

"It's because it was you."
"Because it's you, Eren."~
yams only focuses on Mikasa's line in this scene.
ch130 shows why.
Here's a conversation between Zeke and Eren.
"She just likes you."+6
In ch130, it was revealed that Eren had been lying about Ackerman.

It means that yams is making this Mikasa's feelings important in the future development of the story. +7
Perhaps if you don't know the difference between these fonts, you may have been confused by the word "slave" and missed something important. +8
Then ch130 Historia.
Ch130's Historia has words related to ch66.
"live your life.…with pride."
"worst girl"
Looking at ch66, Ymir's lines are in M6 font and the worst girl is in normal font. +9
This is hinted at by yams at ch66 that Ymir's line will have an effect on Historia.

By the way, ch40's Yumir's
'live your life....with pride.' is also in M6 font, so you can clearly see how important this words is to Historia. +10
I'll give you a few scenes (M6) that I personally think are important for future developments. +11
As for Levi, the focus is on the beast, as ch75 Erwin said.
Levi's line is ch126.
Missing fingers are not used for a backhand grip.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this will be settled. +12
Female characters and children?

The word "pride" is used for Mikasa in the description of Kiyomi and the past.
So I dare to say here that Mikasa having a child is a "positive" thing. +13
In contrast, the Reiss children have a royal blood curse, which I think is a "negative" thing.
The contrast between the two is very interesting. +14
Armin's line in ch106 and Mikasa's line in ch123.
This is both saying that there could have been another way.
Armin's line in ch131 gives me another sense of hope. +15
Maybe Mikasa in particular was told that her was "delusional", but the fact that Isayama is using the M6 means that this is an important line, not a delusional one. +16
This is Mikasa's line (ch88)when she hears that the lifespan of successor is 13 years.
"That's a lie.wrong."
Using the M6 font here means that maybe the 13 year lifespan will be lifted.
This is one possibility. +17
Twice so far, this has been described as a story initiated by Grisha.
Both times it is M6.
If the beginning is Grisha, the end may be Grisha too. +18
However, yams said, "It may change."so I think it might change.
I don't think there are any manga artists who "spoil" the important "end of the story".🤔😅 +19
addition
In the images used in this thread, there are fonts other than Normal and M6.
This is simply used when you're loud or you want to emphasize that character's lines. +20
These are "What happened then?"
This is the font used to describe.
This is called "God's POV" in Japan because it's a third party's POV other than the character who is there. +21
I talk too long, sorry😢,but thanks for reading🙂.
I'm not very good at English, so I know some of the parts are weird, but I hope you get the point across.☺️
I forgot something very important!
This is the first M6 font to be used for things related to Eren.
"Why Eren is crying".
Yams shows that this is important.
And the reason is...
I think that's the development being portrayed in SNK right now.
