It also highlights similar English-language typefaces, offering a look into how manga might look in English if it were typeset more closely to the look and feel of the original Japanese. This guide showcases the typefaces most frequently used in manga, and describes how each is typically used. I often found myself wondering what these fonts were, and whether I could use them myself. Similar fonts often appear in English video games by Japanese developers, too: Very similar typefaces in Lumines / Wii Sports / Sonic 4.

I see the same fonts used in a lot of different Japanese manga (comics).
