I am Japanese and usually write book and movie review articles in Japanese. In this "English Articles," I have compiled translations of the articles I wrote in Japanese using ChatGPT.
I enjoy a wide variety of books and movies. I read novels, manga, non-fiction, and watch both fiction and documentary films. I write articles about my thinkings through these works while introducing their content.
I hope my articles can serve as a tool to discover new works or delve deeper into ones you've already read or watched.
