Manga | Yen Press associate editor and letterer Abigail Blackman talks about her job: "I see that the editor has a twofold obligation – to the original creator and to the reader. I think everyone in the process has to be most careful of not imposing his or her own sensibilities onto the material.

It’s so easy for a rewriter to get carried away with his or her own voice, or for a letterer to get too cutesy with the fonts and placing emphasis." [Organization Anti-Social Geniuses]
