Manga Sfx Font How To Read Text
Something might be going on in a panel that you can't quite make out, and the SFX clarifies it for you. But, for a good lot of manga, translating the SFX helps you know what's going on better. Click to expand.Which group would that be? I don't know many groups besides mine that edits SFX, and it only takes four of us around 4-5 days to completely edit 60-70 pages.Leaving the SFX untranslated is fine for some manga, like Bleach, Naruto, etc. I’ve used Andrew Script and Expletives Deleted before… Cafe Scans Regular Speech- Trashhand Dynasty Scans Main Text - Wild WordsNotes - Aquillia Yuri Project Typical font for dialogue is Wild WordsThought is Zud Juice Addicted to Curry Main font: Wild WordsShouting: Blambot Casual or other if more suitableHarsh SFX: Tekton pro /u/captainba Dialogue:Anime ace 2.0, Wild Words, Laffayette Comic Pro, Manga Temple, Mighty Zeo, Year Supply of Fairy Cakes, Zud Juice.Anime ace 2.0, Wild Words, Felt, Irezumi.

I can't imagine my old Marvel comics with German SFX, they're all using the original English ones. There's tons of better ones.The fact is Sound effects are part of the manga, and, in my opinion, they should be treated as such and translated, whether it be by editing them out, redrawing, and replacing them with their English onomatopoeia counterparts, or by "subtitling" them.I'm a huge fan of leaving the SFX in their original language (in every kind of Comic). That's why mangaka add SFX - to aid the reader and give more life to the manga.If you see a car in a panel with SFX, it's probably going to have one of three sounds Or "Screech" - the car putting on the breaks/stopping.I know, cars are a rather miniscule example, but, that's all it is - an example. You can't actually see the car in motion - it's a manga page.
I prefer the Edited Manga to be as close as possible to the original and there are Manga where you need to often meddle with the artwork just to replace the SFX - why not mirror the whole thing in the same go and make it completely look like a Western comic?For many fans of Manga the (repeating) SFX become easy to know after a while. Often they are integrated in the panel artwork (like the problem in the other thread having the SFX in speedlines) and altering them in such cases means to alter the original artwork as well. Maybe I read to many Shoujo but some Mangaka put a lot effort in beautiful looking SFX. Seeing the Japanese characters on every page reminds me what kind of Comic I'm reading and particulary in Manga with a a typical Japan setting (Samurai, Japanese society.) it simply fits fantastic the overall artwork.That's also another point, it's clearly a part of the artwork to me. First and foremost it gives the Manga this "Asian" feeling. I could see why someone wants to replace them in Kodomo manga like Digimon for this reason, although I think that a translator note is enough.But removing Japanese SFX for an older target audience? Although I can read many Asian characters by now but even before, I simply love the mood of a Manga, Manhwa or Manhua with original SFX.
Ultimately, this is between the Edited Manga group and its readers.And if you ever find yourself getting bogged down by redraws, missing deadlines, and dreading typesetting the SFX, then maybe it's time to consider margin notes As long as it's done well and consistently, it can still be of high quality. Brother or even worse, Big Bro).Anyway, if you're happy having 4 people spend 4-5 days on redraws, and you're satisfied with the final product, then you should keep it up. Pitter patter? Drip drop? Fshshshshshsh? Sometimes, there IS no good translation, and it's best to leave the original Japanese (i.e. I don't think I ever thought about a standard English sound for rain falling until I started translating SFX for Shannaro. Japanese simply has more 'sounds' for things. Depending on who is translating your SFX, this is good for when the translation isn't just a short, simple 'Step' 'Bam' or 'Whack.' No one needs to see 'DISAPPOINTED' splashed across a panel :PAlso keep in mind that there is the problem of translating between cultures.
