Momiji_mii's Profile

I currently work as a manga translator, and before that I used to work in a bookstore. Between this I spend a couple of years in Japan trying to improve my Japanese.

I've read far too much manga in order to be able to recommend stuff to people and companies, which is why my "dropped" and "on hold" list are pretty damn long. From now on I plan to concentrate on reading what I already own and complete more series before I start any new ones. I read most stuff in Japanese and rarely bother with scanlations at all.

My pretty much enjoy reading manga from all genres, but most of the time I end up reading shoujo manga or ladies comics nowadays. I usually concentrate on a special author when I find a new favourite.

Among some of my favourite authors are Ichiko Ima, Reiko Shimizu, Kaori Yuki, Setona Mizushiro (especially her later stuff), Akino Matsuri, Ai Yazawa and Naoki Urasawa to name a few. I try to read as much of their stuff as I can get my hand on. There's also a lot of manga writers who I adore, despite the fact that they were pretty much one (or two)-hit-wonders, like Saki Hiwatari, Natsumi Itsuki and Yukie Nasu. I plan to give their newer stuff another chance later on though, so I might change my mind about them.

I enjoy reading both quality manga as well as manga who pretty much only qualifies as fluff, depending on what mood I'm in. I used to be really into BL as well, but lately I only follow a couple of favourite authors in that genre, like Ichiko Ima and Udoh Shinohara.
