Insight Into The Manga Industry Panel With Manga Editor and Letterer Abigail Blackman

Posted on the 01 April 2015 by Kaminomi @OrganizationASG

On Sunday at Castle Point Anime Convention I moderated a panel with Abigail Blackman, who you may know around these parts as someone that works at Yen Press. She doesn’t work at Yen Press anymore — she’s started her own company, Alpha Design — but she’s still doing work for them. It’ll never end for her!

Anyways, I was able to record the panel. So give it a listen to in your spare time, while on a walk, or while cleaning up. I won’t judge you. I’ll just judge whether or not this needed to be slightly over an hour long.

0:00-3:00ish: Me and Abigail goofing off slightly
3:00-26:50: I ask my questions to Abigail
8:15-9:50ish: This picture was placed on the screen:

26:50-END: Q&A! Audience asks questions

Gonna say the manga panel was a success. #castlepointcon pic.twitter.com/as2vtoYUAG
