When typesetting, don’t simply copy/paste from your translation.“Beef is tasty, but…” “…chicken is better.”). Even if the second can be a standalone, if it’s a continuation of the previous, use “…” (e.g. If a sentence is broken into more than one bubble (even if the bubbles are adjacent), end the first and begin the second with “…” to show continuity, the exception being if the first bubble ends with a comma (in which neither ellipses are needed).Be concious of this don't just copy/paste from your script (there are other reasons not to as well). In manga, it's often unnecessary and ugly to use 2 spaces at the end of a sentence (really depends on the font used though, wildwords only needs 1).Usually the only time I use double exclamations is in a bubble where the first sentence used a single !, but the 2nd sentence needs to be even more emphatic. Use multiple exclamations minimally "!!!" just looks tacky.Also, try to avoid putting punctuation on a separate line by itself (if it’s "…" you may have to, if it’s just a period/comma/exclamation/question you can probably squeeze it with the above by using a smaller font size or squishing it a bit. "." is a nice way of doing things if you're not sure. However, dialogue, be it normal, shouting, thinking, narration, etc., should have punctuations. SFX oftentimes do not, and sometimes it even looks awkward. Every blurb of dialogue should be punctuated.Many manga/comic fonts are all caps, but if they're not, remember to do so when needed.

Just don't hesitate to put in the manual returns when needed. Rectangles make resizing and re-wordwrapping text infinitely easier, avoids awkward text shapes and the problem with leading and trailing spaces distorting alignment, and allows you to quickly compare different wordwrap schemes to see which is most attractive and fits the bubble best (take advantage of this by trying multiple rectangle widths for text blurbs, even if you think your original looks good, since you may find better ones). Even if it's just one word to be put down, use a rectangle don't just click once with the text tool. Index Cleaning Scans Typesetting Saving Files Advanced Stuff
