Thank you. It's funny how I've never thought about any of this when I read scanlated manga.
So far, I've tried to mostly match the font size in the original, but I can see why this generally wouldn't be feasible. I still tried sticking to that for the new version of this image, since it seemed feasible.

Some reflections and thoughts:
- It turned out well for Chimata's bubble in the first panel, probably because the text generally fits with good margins, and only the last word (where the bubble has narrowed) pokes out.
- Hypenating let me put the "let me explain" part centered in its own vertical bubble in panel 2, which looks nice.
- However, the second part of the same bubble has almost every word barely fit or spill out slightly.
- The white border around the text in Megumu's bubble on panel 4 just barely intrudes on the edges of the bubble. I think it was better without this white border, but I wanted to try it to see if it'd look less cramped. Not a good idea.
- There are a few other "OK" bubbles that are still cramped compared to the "ero otoko" example, so I'll probably reduce the font size across the board.
- It's a bit unfortunate that I covered up parts of the question mark. I'll play around with moving that text further away to see how I can move it while keeping the connection to the "mother bubble" clear.

I intend to fix up some of these issues (tomorrow), but I thought it might be instructive to post the current attempt.

>In other news Chimata's non-spellcards are pretty. There, I said it.
Yeah! Her final is really pretty, too. And I kinda like her first spell, after giving it some thought: not as an example of good danmaku, but because a certain amount of "why is this even a spell?" jank gives the fight some character. The horseshoe symbols probably have some meaning, too.
