Writer: Donna Sheffield

Hi, I'm Donna. I'm from Yorkshire, in England. I have over 15 years' experience in writing and editing for a wide range of international media, and right now I create textbooks for people studying English in Japan. My first real exposure to Japanese culture was through reading manga, and after coming here on holiday, my curiosity about Japan only grew stronger. I moved to Kansai in 2009, and I'm still learning and loving things about Japan all the time. I still read a lot of manga, and I also love going to festivals and meeting yurukyara.
