My name's Rute, I'm a 25-year-old Communication Science Graduate, Web Marketeer based in Portugal and my goal and ambition is to work professionally in Manga Lettering.I love manga and collecting it, as well as merch and cute things!In 2025, I started my Freelance Manga Lettering journey with Star Fruit Books, and have now also worked with Devir (PT) and B-Love (DE). I hope to expand my portfolio to other publishers in the future!Portfolio will be updated whenever I’m able to reveal new work, but in the meantime I’m always available to take any skill assessment tests, if deemed necessary, as well as answering any questions that may arise!
