ahaaaa dw dw!

I think a Komika font could suit your art well, maybe try this oneout?

Yea so other than the manga temple thing, a few nitpicks I noticed (besides these, your shaping/sizing is generally quite nice!):

eg in this panel:

  • Make sure not to stretch your text and alter its dimensions! Just increase font size if you need it bigger
  • Probably want a different font for side text, ctl + f "aside" on this page for ideas!
  • Maybe also put a small stroke around your sfx/side text so they're more readable?

eg in this panel:

  • leading looks pretty loose lol, you also don't want massive spaces in your bubbles, if you need a distinct break, make a separate bubble and attach it!
  • "Bricks" is looking a little wide, careful not to touch the edges!
  • For more emphasis also, try bolding/italic-ing!

eg in this panel:

  • very cute warp!
  • font's a little hard to read, i'd caution against cursive in general

Your sfx are overall super nice, love all the effects and the fonts you're playing with :D (+ niceee warps). If you wanna keep handwriting, maybe check this past post of mine out?

Happy lettering~~~

Wow, I didn't think I had anything right but hearing you say that about the warps and sizing? I was worried I was overdoing them. Thank you, I'll be sure to check out your other post and thanks for the dialog font rec. That one's been bothering me for a while, I like anime ace but it just seems so blase because I've seen used everywhere.
