The Cartagra Switch release is now out!
I was not involved in the localization for this one, but for those of you who have been waiting on the latest version of Cartagra to come out in English before playing the entire Kara no Shoujo/The Shell series, it's here now on the JP Nintendo eShop!

I'd like to announce that I served as a translator on Super Robot Wars Y.
This series has been a longtime favorite of mine, and it was a dream of mine for many years to work on it.
I'm beyond honored to have had this opportunity to work on one of them with such a fantastic localization team.
