Is there a tag for that line effect? The white flash going across the screen horizontally at eye level. It's quite common in manga and anime, but I do not know what it is called.

'Original recipe NT flash' .

Sound is made with a flexatone, by the way.

Incidentally, if anybody wants to 'translate' the SFX when it occurs in Japanese doujins...

<div style="font-size:250%; font-style:italic; font-family:slab sans; color:#FFF; background:#000;  padding:.4em; margin:-4px;">ting<span style="font-size:80%; position:relative; bottom:.2em;">‑</span><span style="font-size:70%; position:relative; bottom:.3em;">in</span><span style="font-size:65%; position:relative; bottom:.45em;">g</span><span style="font-size:60%; position:relative; bottom:.6em;">g</span><span style="font-size:55%; position:relative; bottom:.7em;">gg!</span></div>

...I have the CSS right here. Wrote it once (for Ishiyumi-sensei's G-Spring Goddess series) and then copy-pasta'd it a few times.

Though for this comic in particular there's no SFX to translate and as such it prolly shouldn't be inserted. But, you know, just mentioning for future reference.

newtype_flash, although it's now quite commonly used in other situations. Like in Conan.
