I'm not sure about anyone else but this is gonna be freaking useful for me. i just thoguht if i'm amking these and spending hours doing it i might as well share it with everybody else.

i can find on the itnernet plenty of japanese sfx translations in terms of the wording but not how it is actually presented in manga. so this is taken so far from BAKUMAN and BLEACH chapters.

Especially in Bakuman, if you see a little sfx, the translator always translates it which one may ignore mostly but for me, this is what i want to use for my manga.

i find that english lettering just looks tacky or cheesey. big bold american comic fonts don't look good in manga that is trying o be pure manga. also in Bleach the SFXs are used in such n awesome and dynamic ay that it has a second dimensional use as focus or sped lines. someitmes looking like a calligraphical sword has just ripped the page! So cool!!

i hope you find this useful becaus ethe only other place i found something liek this was in a book that costs a shit load on th einternet lol xD

look out for more parts. or link me to other sheets like this if you know of any. cheers
