So I am now ready to take on a new mentee. If you are Black or Brown (including South East Asian), are fluent-ish in Japanese, and want to become a manga translator, maybe I can help. Send me a message here or by email (littlenemo1905@gmail.com). Sorry, this doesn't apply to folks of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean backgrounds, since such people are already well represented in professional manga translation.

Boosts welcome! #manga #translation #Black #Brown #SouthEastAsia
