Pleased to see some of my children in the bookstores of Malaysia! #TranslationsInTheWild
Sensor by Junji Ito (translated by me) facing outward on a book shelf of manga. Behind it a bit of Venus in the Blind Spot can be seen (also translated by me) and the spine to the right is Lovesickness (also mine!) The rest of the shelf and the bit of the shelf that can be seen below are spines of other English manga.

Had to look up the pub date for RED GIRLS, one of my favourite translation babies (I love them all equally, of course, but some of them I *like* more. As people, you know?), and found what is maybe the wildest review of any of my books. #TranslationsInTheWild
Jun 5.0 out of 5 stars A great read while behind bars. Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2022 I happened upon this book by chance in the county jail. I was just picking up something at random without necessarily intent on reading anything... But, MAN! Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. It's definitely a story worth reading at least once. They way it started from one lost little girl to a larger dramatic family over time was a new concept for me. It certainly left an impression on me and recommend it. 2 people found this helpful

Such a thrill to happen upon my Junji Ito books in a random bookstore in Tokyo! #TranslationsInTheWild
Junji Ito books in English on a shelf with One Piece and Sailor Moon. Uzumaki is in there, but I didn’t translate that one. Junji Ito books in English on a shelf mixed in with Ito books in Japanese. There’s a little shelf ad for the Ito anime featuring Tomie
