自己紹介

I provide accurate and fast J -> E translations at a reasonable cost, specializing in video games, websites, manga, and prose. I strive to provide translations that convey as much of the original author's meaning as possible while still sounding like natural English--not like something that has been translated from another language.

I have worked independently and in collaboration with other translators, as both a translator and an editor. My years of experience with HTML, CSS, PHP, Photoshop, InDesign, and Office enable me to meet the technical needs of almost any project.
