The English release of Baki the Grappler from @kodamatales.bsky.social is super nice! Love the weight of the paper and the dust jacket. And it absolutely rules seeing translation and lettering credits on the back cover.

Sometimes, letterering for manga means working in tandem with the Japanese SFX instead of rewriting them!

In CLAMP Premium Collection Tokyo Babylon, Vol. 7, letterer @kernedout.bsky.social skillfully blends the English "ZWOOSH" text with it's Japanese counterpart for a seamless reading experience!
