Maggie @magpon.bsky.social · 01/09/2026There's only one livestreamer (insym) I check out, especially during spooky season because it's all indie horror games and it helps with the "ohgodwhattheheckisthat." Most horror game livestreamers I can't stand because of the constant screaming, but it's pretty tame with his videos. Plus cats. 131

Maggie @magpon.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Bringing back Mushishi in a hardcover edition that it deserves has been such an honor. Mushishi's storytelling and art is timeless. Accessibility to classic manga is so important. (Side note: Oh man, this is now "classic." Please don't tell me I'm old.) Huge shoutout to my amazing dream team! 🫶 2166

Maggie @magpon.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Tank Chair is such a gem. I love working on this series. It is ridiculous, fun, and absolutely heart-wrenching in its own way. 030
Maggie @magpon.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Exciting news for folks (like myself) who were wondering where they can watch the animated version of Mushishi legally after it left Crunchyroll. Also, adding a different link for Chapter 1 of the Collector's Edition since the one linked below is for the older Del Rey version: tinyurl.com/43w5wn3skodansha.us 020
Maggie @magpon.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Absolutely thrilled to be working on Rainy Day Serenade. ☔👘It's a series that I've wanted to be in print/licensed since I first became an editor. ☺️ The art is gorgeous and the time period (late Meiji, post Russo-Japanese war) was an era I focused on in my grad school days. 092
Reposted by MaggieBen Applegate @benapplegate.com · 07/01/2026Yes, it's a MANGA ABOUT A TALKING WALLABY*. He's a lovable weeb (his favorite book is "Bushido") and finally gets a chance to visit Japan, where he gets roped in as a substitute homeroom teacher. It's part cute Paddington-esque hijinks, part Japan cultural misunderstandings, part HS slice of life. 2156
Maggie @magpon.bsky.social · 06/01/2026I've been spoiled having both of you guys as my letterers for some great series! :) Thanks for all of the hard (and detailed) work! 220

Reposted by MaggieBen Applegate @benapplegate.com · 03/01/2026The lettering in the new Mushishi is so good that in places it's almost as if the sfx had been bilingual from the beginning. Spectacular work from @kernedout.bsky.social on a delightful translation by my colleague Andres Oliver in a package edited by @magpon.bsky.social. This belongs on your shelf. 54018
Reposted by MaggieAidan Clarke @cranchyroll.com · 03/01/2026There's a new English release of Mushishi, lettered by Phil Christie (@kernedout.bsky.social). I adore how Urushibara-sensei utilizes texture in her art, and how the sound effects inherit that texture. Phil does an amazing job replicating that with subtitled SFX. Notes in alt text! 29547
