About DearManga
Hi, I'm Yu.
Manga Enthusiast from Japan
When I was in elementary school, I was bullied. I had no friends. Every day felt lonely and long. The only thing that made me feel better was manga.
I would come home, lock myself in my room, and read for hours. Naruto taught me to never give up. One Piece showed me what true friendship looks like. Those stories didn't just entertain me — they saved me.
Now I'm grown up, and I want to share that feeling with the world. I created DearManga to introduce Japanese manga to English-speaking readers who might not know where to start.
My English is not perfect. I know that. But my love for manga is real, and I will do my best to deliver that passion to you — one review at a time.
Why trust my reviews?
I grew up reading manga in Japanese. I understand the cultural context, the original nuances, and the things that often get lost in translation. I write these reviews to bridge that gap — to help you fully appreciate what makes Japanese manga so special.
