Hi, I'm Ella, I translate manga from JP -> EN.
I started working as a freelance translator in Jan 2022, but I've been learning Japanese for about 14 years~

I've worked on:

⭐The Barbarian's Bride
⭐The Café Terrace and its Goddesses
⭐Moebana
⭐BAKEMONOGATARI
⭐Such a Treacherous Piano Sonata
As of a week ago, The Café Terrace and its Goddesses has officially finished!

I've been working on it since 2022 and was really happy to work on the whole thing from beginning to end 😊

I had fun working on it and getting to know Hayato and the girls, I hope everyone enjoyed reading it too! ❤️

Last week I finally went to Barnes & Noble and got my hands on the second volume of one of the series I translate, The Barbarian's Bride!
(the stores I went to in the UK never had them in-store T^T)
Can't believe the third volume'll be out next month already! 🤩

I got my first translator's credit in a printed manga! 🤩

The first English volume of The Barbarian's Bride came out on 15th October, published by Seven Seas Entertainment!

This was the first series I ever worked on, so it's fitting that it's now my first printed credit🥰
