UK-based professional Japanese translator/interpreter, and lover of (often) Japanese media.
...often games rather than books, if I'm honest with myself.
I've lived in Kyoto, Hamamatsu and Tokyo, and have no doubt left a part of myself in all of them, scattered around the mountains and castles.
These days, my Japanese reading is mostly dictated by book club choices. I've always found book clubs a great way of staying motivated, and hopefully this website will do the same - as well as help me keep a record.
